Is there a senior center in Parker? Does anyone deliver meals on wheels, or have an outreach to the elderly who are living at home or with a family member? Also a Catholic priest who visits the elderly?

Will any communities/churches be organizing garage sales once this snow melts? And if so, where do you post? What are good sites to keep watch on?

Here you go.. and the First Parker Garage sale is listed.

Your shop is pretty big.. why not hold it there? Other ideas would be rooms at the Mainstreet Center or restaurants that have extra rooms like The Egg and I, Warhorse, Tail Gate, Vines, or at one of the hotels on Crown Plaza. The woman that books the room is a member of the Chamber and is really great. I can’t remember her name, but if you contact the Chamber I’m sure they’d direct you to the right person. Hope that helps!

Hey Peter, I’ve asked the question on Twitter.. My kids have grown up in the schools here so my information is outdated. I have heard only good things about Core Knowledge Charter school.. the only downside being transitioning to the “real world” when they move to the high school. Hopefully someone else with kids currently enrolled will come and give you some more information.

RE: Sports for homeschooled kids

You have a couple of options:

Hawks Baseball
Parker Fieldhouse Rec Leagues
Public School-their programs are still available to you as a homeschooler.

Here is a homeschool group in Parker: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PAHC/

and you can contact me through my blog by clicking my name.

Good Luck!

My family is looking to relocate to Parker next month and we have a 4 and 1 year old. We’re looking for a good PreK program for the older one and part-time childcare for the younger one.

Can someone recommend a place that does both, is of higher quality but isn’t an arm and a leg?

Thanks and looking forward to the area!

Thanks for the info, you two!

Another question – who’s the local cable tv/broadband internet provider? When we were there a week or two ago, I saw a LOT of sat dishes. We’ll be in Pinery Glen, FWIW.

I do partime care of children, specialize in babies. Looking for the perfect situation in caring for your loved bundle of joy. If you know of someone in parker looking for care let them know about me. Have lots of experience. Medical background!

Are there any good antique or thrift stores in Parker? I will be in town for one week and would love to check out any good antique stores or gift shops in town.

I need a bus or shuttle from the Timbers (south pinery) to Lincoln and dransfelt or parker and lincoln

Is there an RTD or shuttle service between Parker and DIA? The town of Arvada offers its residents a free bus service to the airport from a local park-and-ride, so I’m hoping Parker may have something similar. The airport’s shuttles have been shaky at best, so we usually leave our car in a lot at the airport on short trips. For an upcoming trip that’s longer, we’d hoping for a local bus.

What is being built next to the Jiffy Lube across from Lowe’s ?

Just trying to find out how my hotel can get listed on this website? Thanks for your time. I am working on figuring out advertising rates. Any suggestions? I do offer advertising on the community directory www. parkercolorado. net

Is there a news paper printing place in parker?

You are probably thinking of Mountain Man Fruit and Nut, they have moved to a bigger location on Parker Road where the Alpine Lumber used to be just North of the Crossroads Shopping Center. There is a white gazebo and Christmas lights on the building.

Trying to find out about the community garden on Longs Way and Brownstone. Is it open to space rental by the public or only the neighborhood. If open to all, who do I contact to reserve a space. Thanks so much…Gen (720)347-7115

Is there a good salad bar lunch restaurant in Parker? My friends and I are dieting, but still like to go out to lunch. No Jason’s Deli, no Country Buffet, no Sweet Tomato….so where can we go?

Thanks, Chrissy. I called Johnny Carino’s & was told they no longer have a salad bar – just a nice soup, salad & bread lunch on week-days.

any suggestions for hosting a rehersal dinner in Parker in August early! My son we are from Cali is marrying a local Parker gal!

Chrissy,

Will there be a Parker town/community flea market for some of us who would rather sell our goodies in a group atmosphere? I would love to be a part of it if you do! Don’t you think this would be an excellent affair? I think it would do great!

When is the Clarke Farms community garage sale this summer (2010)?

I’m trying to locate Carl McSpadden who use to live in Okla. City, OK and worked for LSB Industries with me. A fellow employee and friend of Carl and mine has cancer and I’m trying to get the info to Carl. I believe Carl now lives in Parker. I can be reached at GTiernan@lsb-okc.com.

This will likely draw a laugh or two, but… Where exactly is Parker Days located? I’m new to the area, and will be coming to the festivities beginning tomorrow. Would a newbie easily find the carnival by simply traveling South on Parker Road from Aurora?

Will you publish info about how to get cheap tickets to Elitch Gardens?? A main goal of Elitch’s this year is to re-connect within the community, and regain it’s community image. Elitch’s has had a very vibrant 120 years in Denver, and they are trying to mend the seams left during the Six Flags era.

One way to do this, is they are offering their employee discounts to anyone who wants it. You can get the employee discount online at http://www.bit.ly/elitch. $16 off a one-day admission, $30 off a season pass.

Share with your family and friends. There is no limit.

Enjoy, see you at the park!

Hey Barb, the person who runs the market in Nancy Simmons simmons03@att.net

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by plant waste service? Some neighborhoods in Parker have your trash pickup as part of your HOA fee’s in other’s you have to contract one of the companies on your own and each one has different requirements, so you’d probably have to contact them. The best thing to do would be to ask one of your neighbors…. they most likely know the drill for your area of town.

Where can I find a shop to sell my knitted things? Thanks!
