On Apr. 4, hundreds of children, aged pre-school through elementary school, participated in the 4th annual Gleneagle Easter Egg Hunt on the Antelope Trails Elementary School (ATES) field. Over 15,000 plastic Easter eggs filled with candies along with bubble wands, sticker sheets, coloring books and small cush balls were scattered on the field for the hunt. Blair Dinkins, with eXp Realty, LLC, coordinated the event. She said her family started filling the eggs in late Fall 2025 in preparation. She stated this “community event draws Gleneagle families together and engages the school for a great time.” Veterans United Home Loans sponsored bounce houses as part of the after-hunt activities. Dinkins said the Gleneagle community should be on the lookout for information regarding another fun event for all ages, the Gleneagle Spirit 5k Walk/Run presently scheduled for Sept. 12.

A huge crowd packed the new location of the Silver Key Thrift Store in the Safeway shopping center on Route 105 in Monument for a grand opening celebration on April 17. The new location is much bigger than the old place on Route 105 in Palmer Lake where the shop was located the past two years. Retail sales director Brieana Weaver says they’ll get more walk-ins in this location since it’s in a busy shopping center. The sign for the liquor store that used to be at the new location was still on the storefront. Silver Key President and CEO Jason DeaBueno says a lighted Silver Key sign will be installed on both ends of the building once it gets approved by the Town of Monument. He ended his speech by urging the crowd to “Buy! Buy! Buy! Use it and then recycle it and we’ll sell it again!” Photo by Michael Weinfeld.

The Monument Town Council has picked “Doc Close Road” as the winner of the contest to rename a new segment of roadway created by the realignment of Old Denver Road between Santa Fe Avenue and Wagon Gap Trail. Senior Planner Jenna Gorney (in photo) told the council at its April 21 meeting that the winning name submitted by Catherine McGuire was among 160 names suggested by 60 people in the contest. The road will be renamed in honor of McGuire’s grandfather Thomas Close, who was a medical doctor and pharmacist in Monument in the early 1900s. Close and his family used to live in the house that’s now Lolly’s. He bought 240 acres between Elephant Rock and Ben Lomand Mountain in 1922, and the family has made sure the land is preserved. Close was friends with Jim Higby and McGuire suggested in her application that her grandfather join his “childhood chum” with a road named in his honor. The renaming will be made official with a resolution probably at the next council meeting on May 4. The new sign will be unveiled at a ceremony on May 22. Photo by Michael Weinfeld.

The Town of Monument celebrated its 32nd year of being designated “Tree City U.S.A.” by planting a tree on Arbor Day April 24. The Monument Parks Department planted a Vanderwolf Pine on the road leading to Monument Lake. This along with three other trees planted on the road earlier in the week are the town’s first Vanderwolf Pines. Parks Superintendant James Schubauer told the small crowd that these trees are supposed to be faster growing, fuller and softer compared to other pines. Schubauer gave tips on how to plant the tree as it was being placed in the ground.
