🎃👻 CALLING ALL GHOSTS, GOBLINS & GHOULS! 🧙‍♀️🍬

It's time for a little HOCUS POCUS on Main Street! ✨ The Halloween Parade is creeping through downtown Telluride TODAY, Friday, October 30, and we're making room for all the little monsters to take over the streets! 🦇

🚧 A LITTLE TRAFFIC TRICK BEFORE THE TREATS!

From 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., the following streets will be closed for some frightfully fun festivities:

🎃 Colorado Avenue from Aspen to Willow streets

🕸️ North Aspen Street from Columbia to Colorado avenues

🚗 DETOURS, IF YOU DARE!
- Westbound traffic will be rerouted onto Willow Street.
- Eastbound traffic will be rerouted onto South Aspen Street.
- Parking is allowed, but parked vehicles must stay put until the parade passes.
- No through traffic during the parade!

🧡 Please drive with extra care, watch for tiny trick-or-treaters and give our costumed crews plenty of room to parade!

Grab your costumes, gather your little monsters and get ready for a SPOOKTACULAR afternoon in Telluride! 🍭🧛‍♂️

Happy Halloween, Telluride!

SCAM ALERT: Fake Town of Telluride invoices targeting planning applicants
October 29, 2026

The Town of Telluride is warning residents, architects, contractors, and property owners about fake invoices that look like they come from the Town's Planning and Zoning Commission. Do not pay them.

The scam emails include a PDF titled "Application Approval & Review Fee Invoice" that asks for $3,200 in made-up review fees. They use the Town logo, real project details, and the name of real Town staff. They ask you to reply by email to get "settlement instructions" and say all contact must happen by email only. That last part is the giveaway: scammers don't want you to call us and find out it's fake.

The FBI has seen this same scheme nationwide. Criminals pull public permit information, then email applicants pretending to be city or county planning officials and ask for payment by wire transfer, peer-to-peer apps like Zelle or Venmo, or cryptocurrency.

ALERTA DE ESTAFA: Facturas falsas del Ayuntamiento de Telluride dirigidas a solicitantes de permisos de urbanismo
29 de octubre de 2026

El Ayuntamiento de Telluride advierte a los residentes, arquitectos, contratistas y propietarios de inmuebles sobre la existencia de facturas falsas que parecen proceder de la Comisión de Urbanismo y Ordenación Territorial del Ayuntamiento. No las paguéis.

Los correos electrónicos fraudulentos incluyen un PDF titulado «Factura de tasas de aprobación y revisión de la solicitud» en el que se solicitan 3.200 dólares en concepto de tasas de revisión inventadas. Utilizan el logotipo del Ayuntamiento, datos reales de proyectos y los nombres de empleados reales del Ayuntamiento. Le piden que responda por correo electrónico para recibir «instrucciones de pago» y afirman que todo contacto debe realizarse exclusivamente por correo electrónico. Esa última parte es la clave: los estafadores no quieren que nos llames y descubras que es falso.

El FBI ha detectado esta misma estafa en todo el país. Los delincuentes obtienen información pública sobre permisos y, a continuación, envían correos electrónicos a los solicitantes haciéndose pasar por funcionarios de urbanismo de la ciudad o del condado y solicitan el pago mediante transferencia bancaria, aplicaciones de pago entre particulares como Zelle o Venmo, o criptomonedas.

10/29/2026

A huge thank you to all of the Town of Telluride’s year-round and seasonal staff who helped make this summer and fall such a success!

Each year, staff from across Town departments and divisions come together to celebrate another busy season at our annual Fall Fling, complete with friendly competition, a co****le tournament, and the always-popular backhoe competition. A special thank you to the staff who work behind the scenes to plan this event and bring our team together!

🏆 Congratulations to this year’s co****le champions, the Park Rats! Parks Maintenance Tech II Herbert Valdez and Assistant Parks Supervisor Logan Vaughn took home the coveted Golden Co****le Bag!

Meanwhile, the Public Works Department is still *officially* tabulating the results of the backhoe competition. Recreation Facilities Manager Ryan McGovern was leading the pack when a heated debate broke out over the possibility of Parks and Recreation sweeping this year’s competitions. Results remain pending, and we trust Public Works is conducting a thorough and entirely unbiased review. 👀🏆

A message of gratitude was also delivered from the Town Manager:

The Town of Telluride would not be the community it is today without the dedication, teamwork, creativity, and care of every member of our staff. Across every department and division, our employees bring the Town’s core values to life each day: Connecting Community, Enabling Communication, Empowering Teamwork, and Pursuing Excellence.

From maintaining our parks, streets, and infrastructure to supporting public safety, community services, and the countless programs that make Telluride such a special place to live, work, and visit, our staff work tirelessly, often behind the scenes, to keep our community running and moving forward.

Our work is not always easy, and the demands of serving a small mountain town are anything but small. Yet, time and again, this team rises to the occasion with ingenuity, compassion, and a shared commitment to public service.

As we close out another busy season and prepare for winter, we want every member of Town staff to know how deeply their contributions are valued and appreciated.

To our entire Town team: Thank you for all that you do, for one another, and for the community we are so proud to serve.

¡Muchísimas gracias a todo el personal fijo y temporal del Ayuntamiento de Telluride que ha contribuido a que este verano y este otoño hayan sido todo un éxito!

Cada año, el personal de todos los departamentos y divisiones del Ayuntamiento se reúne para celebrar otra temporada ajetreada en nuestro evento anual «Fall Fling», que incluye una competición amistosa, un torneo de co****le y la siempre popular competición de retroexcavadoras. ¡Un agradecimiento especial al personal que trabaja entre bastidores para organizar este evento y unir a nuestro equipo!

🏆 ¡Enhorabuena a los campeones de co****le de este año, los «Park Rats»! El técnico de mantenimiento de parques II, Herbert Valdez, y el supervisor adjunto de parques, Logan Vaughn, se llevaron a casa la codiciada bolsa dorada de co****le.

Mientras tanto, el Departamento de Obras Públicas sigue *oficialmente* recopilando los resultados de la competición de retroexcavadoras. El responsable de instalaciones recreativas, Ryan McGovern, iba en cabeza cuando se desató un acalorado debate sobre la posibilidad de que el departamento de Parques y Ocio arrasara en las competiciones de este año. Los resultados siguen pendientes, y confiamos en que Obras Públicas esté llevando a cabo una revisión minuciosa y totalmente imparcial. 👀🏆

El administrador municipal también transmitió un mensaje de agradecimiento:

La ciudad de Telluride no sería la comunidad que es hoy sin la dedicación, el trabajo en equipo, la creatividad y el esmero de cada miembro de nuestra plantilla. En todos los departamentos y divisiones, nuestros empleados hacen realidad cada día los valores fundamentales de la ciudad: conectar a la comunidad, facilitar la comunicación, potenciar el trabajo en equipo y perseguir la excelencia.

Desde el mantenimiento de nuestros parques, calles e infraestructuras hasta el apoyo a la seguridad pública, los servicios comunitarios y los innumerables programas que hacen de Telluride un lugar tan especial para vivir, trabajar y visitar, nuestro personal trabaja incansablemente, a menudo entre bastidores, para que nuestra comunidad siga funcionando y avanzando.

Nuestro trabajo no siempre es fácil, y las exigencias de prestar servicio a una pequeña localidad de montaña no son en absoluto pequeñas. Sin embargo, una y otra vez, este equipo está a la altura de las circunstancias con ingenio, compasión y un compromiso compartido con el servicio público.

Ahora que cerramos otra temporada ajetreada y nos preparamos para el invierno, queremos que todos los miembros del personal municipal sepan lo mucho que valoramos y apreciamos sus contribuciones.

A todo nuestro equipo municipal: gracias por todo lo que hacéis, los unos por los otros y por la comunidad a la que estamos tan orgullosos de servir.
