Character building
The City of Durango is tackling the next district in its Durango Districts Initiative – the “College & 8th Character District.”
Next week, the city will host three workshops to share their ideas and gather input from residents on how the district will look heading into the future. All interested community members are invited to attend any of the sessions:
• 8:30 – 9:30 a.m., Mon., Dec. 3, Durango Joes (College Drive location)
• 1:30 – 2:30 p.m., Mon., Dec. 3, CJ’s Diner
• 5 – 7 p.m., Wed., Dec. 5, Park Elementary
The Durango Districts Initiative involves assessing and envisioning the future of 10 mixed-use districts through the community that have special “character-defining” traits with the goal of helping these areas reach their full potential. Through these community workshops, the city hopes to formulate plans that embrace, enhance and preserve each district’s unique character while providing a vision for the future.
For more information about the initiative, visit districts.durangogov.org or e-mail questions/comments to savannah.jameson@durango gov.org.

On most days, Tracy Harwood spends her time as a court clerk for the City of Durango. But next Thurs., June 4 – International Corgi Day – she hopes to bring something entirely different to town: short legs, wiggly butts and oversized personalities.

It’s a mash-up made in Westernwear heaven. Sort of. Seems Chaco, the purveyor of the iconic strappy dirtbag river rat footwear, has joined forces with Wrangler, as in tight jeans, big belt buckles, bull riding and snap shirt fame.

Turns out, blondes do have more fun, or at least they get more awards. Last week, Ska Brewing won the gold medal for its True Blonde Ale in the English-Style Pale Ale category at the 2026 World Beer Cup. This is the third win for the Blonde at the World Beer Cup, held in Philadelphia on April 22 and pegged as one of the world’s most prestigious beer competitions.
