More in County:

More than 1,100 pinwheels are spinning on the southwest corner of the Rio Blanco County courthouse, representing abused children in Colorado last year. The sign behind the pinwheels reads: Take a Stand. In 2009 11,339 children in Colorado were abused and neglected, 33 of those children were from Rio Blanco County. Each pinwheel represents 10 abused children. April was first designated Child Abuse Prevention Month in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan.­ Photo by Bobby Gutierrez
