For National Earth Science Week, is digging into our quarry history.

About 37 million years ago, a massive volcanic eruption southwest of present-day Castle Rock created the stone we know locally as rhyolite. Millions of years later, that rock helped build a Town.

Quarrying began in 1872, when Silas Madge started working a quarry south of Castle Rock. By the time the Town’s railroad depot opened in 1875, local stone had a way to travel. The depot shipped rhyolite from three local quarries, connecting Castle Rock’s growing industry with communities beyond the Town's borders.

You can still see that locally quarried stone in historic buildings around Downtown, including the Castle Rock Museum, the former Keystone Hotel that houses Castle Café, the old First National Bank building, and Cantril School.

Next time you’re Downtown shopping local or grabbing a bite, take a closer look at the buildings along the way. Those rhyolite walls connect today’s bustling Downtown with the quarry workers and businesses that helped Castle Rock become the Town it is today.

October is ! 🚿

How can you shower "better"? Whether trying to cut down on the average 17.2 gallons of water used per shower or searching for moist, healthy skin, here are some tips.

Some dermatologists recommend only showering when needed, and not necessarily every day. Instead, try showering every other or every third day. Frequent washing and using extremely hot water or harsh soaps can strip natural oils from skin and hair. Use gentle, more natural soaps and shampoos. Stick to a quick wash and rinse that is less than seven minutes.

Keep the therapeutic steam shower or bath as a once-in-a-while treat. Help save the environment, secure a water future and have healthier skin – Shower Better.

This year's Fire Prevention Week theme is “Charge into Fire Safety™: Safe Charging is a Superpower.”

Rechargeable devices are part of everyday life. Phones, laptops, power tools, toys, e-bikes and scooters often rely on lithium-ion batteries. These batteries store a lot of energy in a small space and can become a fire risk if damaged or charged improperly.

Choose a safe spot to charge your devices. Charge devices on a hard, flat surface where heat can escape. Never charge on beds, couches, pillows or other soft surfaces, and keep devices away from anything that can burn.

Make safe charging your superpower all year long and visit www.fpw.org to learn more.
