Time capsule suggestions needed

Capsule courtyard

A new courtyard on the Rangely Campus is under construction and will be the home of a time capsule commemorating the last 50 years of Colorado Northwestern Community College. The courtyard under the trees will feature a vault in its center that will house the capsule and will have bench seating around its perimeter.

Walls raised by rock-solid community effort

Residents, churches, and community organizations spent the better part of a year gathering hundreds of tons of native rock for the original Rangely Junior College buildings. The primary rock hunters were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who raised close to $150,000 to build the main part of the chapel that stands today.

When local contract or Dave Allred was a kid, he didn’t think of going into the hills to gather rocks as work. Harvesting flat, mossy sandstone with your family and other families with kids your age was just plain fun.
