Parker Days Carnival

Parker Days Starts today June 11, 12 & 13th.

Parker Days is a big carnival held each year right here in Parker Colorado. Kids across Douglas County look forward to this each and every summer.

They set it up differently this year so be prepared. All the rides are now up on the hill away from the center of town. Up by the RTD parking lot.

The arts and crafts and food booths are still in the center of town and in O'Brien Park.

TIPS:

• Make sure to bring your own water. Drink and food lines are long and the carnival food stinks. Except the funnel cakes.
• Load up on sunscreen. Being up on the hill this year we should have a decent breeze but the sun is still going to cook you.
• Go early or late. Mid day is packed. The teenagers inhabit the park at night so the lull between the teens and mid day is usually good.
• Strollers are a must for small kids. Especially now that they have moved the rides up the hill from town.

Parking: Hopefully they will allow us to use the RTD station up near the rides. It looks like behind Parker Station may also be available but they had a guy standing there checking to see if you were a Parker Station visitor or Carnival visitor.

Parking across from O'Brien Park on the West side of Parker Road is easy too. Just walk through the tunnel instead of trying to cross Parker Road. Safer and easier.

This 42 acre site has a beautiful custom home that was built in 2006. Spectacular long range views of the Sangre De Cristo mountains from the huge deck will cretainly make you fall in love with this property.

I have a mountain bike I came across and wanted to try and get it to a kid here in the Parker area that may not have a bike. I think this is a girls moiuntain bike. Yep it is a Specialized too which means it isn't a cheap bike. I will have the bike totally tuned up and cleaned and it should make a great Christmas present. If you know a kid or family in need please call or email me.

Stonegate Garage Sale Starts This Weekend June 5th & 6th.

Friday and Saturday

Stonegate is located 3 miles east of I-25 and Lincoln Avenue in Parker, Colorado MAP BELOW!

Start Times: I've seen buyers and sellers out as early at 6AM but expect most sellers to open their doors between 7 or 8AM. 

This is not your ordinary garage sale. This is an entire neighborhood garage sale which has been going on yearly for over 12 years. I really don't know when it started. Make sure to drive down ALL roads as I hear that the signage will not be as good this year as it has been in the past. Stonegate's HOA stuck their noses into the plan and have fouled up the usual process. I'm sure most garage sale participants will be adding their own signage but some will not. Keep you eyes open for kids and this is a pretty big deal and kids are out of school and will be roaming the streets.

The BIG Stonegate Neighborhood Garage Sale!

DATE: The first weekend of June, 2009!

June  5th, 6th & 7th.

Directions: Main cross streets are Lincoln Avenue and Jordan Road.

Approximately 3 miles east of I-25 on the north and south sides of Lincoln Avenue.

Well it's mid April and if you live in the Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado that means it's time to get your stuff ready for the huge neighborhood garage sale. That's how it's been for over 15 years. We all know the drill. Your family members gather all their items they no longer need and mom and dad arrange the items on tables for sale at DEEP DISCOUNTS. Then when your 5 year old sees his old toy leaving the yard with someone else he goes into orbit. It's all good though and we all have fun. The three day weekend of sales and block parties have always been a lot of fun and many of us have made great money selling our no longer needed items. My wife made $650 her fist garage sale and she has been hooked ever since and I know many other families that make much more than that. Over the past few years I've even seen hot dog stands and snow cone stands. I think the Stonegate garage sale is our way of coming out of our winter hibernation (it seems like we all dissappear in the winter) to re-establish friendships from last year. Good luck to you all and I hope we all have a wonderful time!
