Parker Youth Wanted to Paint Art Mural in Mainstreet Center Gym
The Town of Parker would like to invite students from local schools, art groups, clubs and other organizations, as well as individuals, to participate in the painting of a large art mural at the Mainstreet Center gym, located at 19650 E. Mainstreet. The theme of the project is “Youth
Art in Parker” and Parker youth from ages eight to 18 are encouraged to come and paint their vision of what they think the Town looks like. The mural will be created in panels and installed around the gym. "We're excited about the energy and vitality the mural project will bring to
the gym, which is heavily used by local kids," said Cindy Galasso, Mainstreet Center Coordinator.
If you would like to be a part of the mural project, but are unable to come to the Mainstreet Center, painting supplies can be dropped off at your organization and the art panels that your organization creates will be incorporated into the permanent display.
Four public painting sessions are planned: July 26 from 4 to 8 p.m., July 29 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Aug. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Aug. 9 from 4 to 8 p.m. A reception to unveil the artwork will be held in September.

Nugget Greg Buckner brings Defender Camp to Parker
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Greg Buckner is bringing his youth basketball camp to the Parker Recreation Center in July. Buckner and his fellow coaching staff will work with players to improve their games in a three-day camp July 28 to 30.
Boys and girls ages seven to 18 will work to develop a competitive edge as they improve shooting, ball handling, passing, defense, rebounding, speed, strength and become leaders on and off the court. The weekend camp format works well for students in year round schools and for working parents who might have difficulty getting kids to camp on weekdays.
The camp runs 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, July 28, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, July 29, and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 30. Players should bring a sack lunch on Saturday. Registration is $100 and includes a camp T-shirt, jersey top and autographed player card. Register online at www.gbschoolofbasketball.net, or pick up a registration form at the Parker Recreation Center. For more information about the camp call 303.944.9175.
