IT MADE IT! The U.S. Capitol Christmas tree from our Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest arrived in Washington D.C. Friday. The People's Tree arrived at the capitol and was placed in the West Lawn to spread holiday cheer this season. COVID-19 STATUS: Montrose County will be moved into the state's "high risk" categorization for COVID-19 starting Tuesday, which among other restrictions will close bars and reduce patron numbers at restaurants and gyms. The county is being placed in level orange on the state's risk dial, moving up a notch from level yellow. Orange is one tier down from red, or severe risk, where Mesa County and several other counties are now placed, and two down from the new level, purple, or extreme risk. IN HONOR OF COMMITMENT: The Montrose Elks honored 75-year member Louis Faussone on Nov. 1, who is shown here with Martin Crespin, the lodge's exalted ruler. Faussone celebrated reaching a milestone of 75 years being a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Montrose Lodge No. 1053. The honoree was presented a milestone pin and plaque commemorating his dedication to the Elks.
