Jim Michels, left, holds a butterfly in one hand and his daughter, Avery, in the other Friday afternoon on the Rio Blanco County Courthouse lawn as part of the Meeker Arts and Cultural Council’s Meekerpalooza, held Friday and Saturday. As a fundraiser, 100 butterflies were released in honor of Avery as the 2-year-old Meeker girl has had to face several brain surgeries due to severe seizures.
Sorry I missed this event–working hard preparing for school to start!
