Hello and happy belated Siblings Day to all my fellow siblings out there (including my own all the way back in Texas), You're hearing from me a little earlier today as I prepare for today's Business Expo. It's shaping up to host over 250 local businesses, so I'm excited to discover some familiar and new gems living in Montrose!
Let's jump into this upcoming week's events.

Be there... or be square
Square Deal is an annual fundraiser at Montrose Center for Arts where you can view and bid on art. More than 80 local artists have donated their work to benefit MCA! As an amateur art hobbyist, this warms my heart. It also inspires me to donate a piece for the next Square Deal! The sale continues on Thursdays through April, with the bidding window closing with First Friday on May 3.
Kick off mountain biking season at Pomona tonight Pomona Brewing and Montrose Uncompahgre Trails are offering food, drink and prizes tonight. A portion of proceeds goes to MUT.
Chop chop, Chef Montrose Style, a fundraiser for Montrose Center for the Arts (11 S. Park Ave.), begins this Saturday at 5 p.m. with Meet the Chef to kick off the inaugural competition between local chefs.
