<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">From the TOSC website: UpaDowna is a local nonprofit dedicated to getting everyone off the couch and outside, regardless of age or ability. We're excited to partner with them for one of their Third Sunday Adventures--Earth Month Edition! Bring the kids and help us pick up trash and close social trails in Red Rock Canyon Open Space, starting at 10 am this Sunday, April 21st. UpaDowna is providing snacks; we'll bring the trash bags! After the cleanup we will take a short hike to explore some of the beauty of Red Rock Canyon Open Space.</p>

<br/><br/>By Susan Davies<br/>Executive Director, Trails and Open Space Coalition<br/><br/>Next time you venture out to your favorite park or trail consider bringing<br/>along a delicious Red Rock Chocolate Bar in your knapsack and enjoying<br/>a bottle of Red or White Rock Wine after a long day on the trail. Not<br/>only will you be treating yourself to a delicious locally produced treat,<br/>you will be supporting your local trails and open spaces - thanks to 2<br/>new business ventures benefiting the Trails and Open Space Coalition.<br/>The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, along with D’Vine Wine have<br/>created 2 new tempting products sure to please both outdoor enthusiasts and<br/>armchair adventurers. The large Chocolate bar is a beautiful piece of art<br/>depicting the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak in layered chocolate. The<br/>bar was designed by local artist Jason Baalman - and comes in both milk<br/>and dark chocolate. Bars are available in all 5 regional Rocky Mountain<br/>Chocolate Factory locations. The wine is produced by D’Vine Wine of<br/>Manitou Springs, and is available in both a full-bodied Red Rock Red<br/>and crisp and cool White Rock White. The wine makes a perfect gift and<br/>is wrapped in a beautiful water color graphic created by artist Paulette<br/>Brodeur. The wines are available exclusively at D’Vine Wine located at 934<br/>Manitou Avenue, Manitou Springs.<br/>“We’re thrilled with both products and delighted that these two local<br/>businesses are willing to contribute to our cause. In these challenging times<br/>we have to rely on creative funding sources and these two businesses are<br/>stepping up in a big way”, says Susan Davies with the Trails and Open<br/>Space Coalition. “The great thing is you can consume these products nearly<br/>guilt free knowing the proceeds will help support our on-going stewardship<br/>and sustainable parks efforts”.<br/>For product information and availability contact Mazie Baalman at the<br/>Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory at (719) 635-4131 <a href="http://www.rmcf.com">www.rmcf.com</a>,<br/>or Tracy Fagner, D’Vine Wine at (719) 685-1030 <a href="http://www.dvinewineusa.com">www.dvinewineusa.com</a><br/><br/>
