PURELY PONDS PARADE OF PONDS
SUPPORTS LOCAL CHARITY
Colorado Springs, CO - Colorado Springs based Purely Ponds
We would like to announce the success of the Second Annual Purely Ponds Parade of Ponds. This self guided pond tour was held on Saturday and Sunday, June 28th - 29 th , 2008. The Parade of Ponds hosted a total of 31 tour stops throughout Colorado Springs, Palmer Lake, Monument, Falcon, Woodland Park, Manitou Springs, and Fountain. About 200 pond tourists attended this charity event. The weather was very nice with a little cloud cover to cool things down on Saturday and lots of sun on Sunday. It was two perfect days to take a walk through an array of backyard paradises.
Purely Ponds has once again partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of the Pikes Peak Region. For 120-years this charitable organization has delivered quality programs and a unique experience for the youth of the Front Range. They serve one purpose: To inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens. The Boys & Girls Club of the Pikes Peak Region fills a critical need. Building character through everyday leadership and guidance in behavior and attitude, the trained professional staff provide nationally recognized programs that help young people succeed in school, stay healthy, learn important life skills, pursue interests in the arts and sports, and explore vocational choices. To learn more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Pikes Peak Region, visit www.bgcppr.org or call (719) 570-7077. The Purely Ponds Parade of Ponds raised money to help support this community organization. This year Purely Ponds has proudly donated $3500.00 to The Boys & Girls Club.
Water Features are today's hottest trend in landscaping. This is a great chance for our water feature owners and serious water gardeners to share their piece of paradise with the public. In addition, this is an excellent community event and opportune time to show our support of the local Boys & Girls Club.
Our ecologically balanced waterscapes facilitate relaxation to the soothing sounds of water, a peaceful panorama of the naturalistic water garden and a friendly fish community. It offers an experience of tranquility that transcends today's stressful world. Countless satisfied homeowners readily profess that adding a water feature to their landscape was the best investment they've ever made.
Purely Ponds Parade of Ponds tickets and tour map were sold at just ten dollars per ticket, with all net proceeds donated to charity. Thank you to our sponsor, Pioneer Sand, in three locations in Colorado Springs, Monument, and Black Forest, for your assistance in promoting this charity event. A big thanks also to Water's Edge for selling tickets to the public.
