			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our friend Heidi is an amazing girl.   She is a native of Ouray and  has a medical condition called fibular hemimelia, a congenital disorder that caused her to be born without a fibula, an ankle bone, and three toes on her right leg. As a result, the leg was amputated when she was eight months old.  </p>
<p>She is a fiesty teenager that loves all things teenagers do!   She&#8217;s always smiling and let&#8217;s nothing get in her way.    We just love this girl! </p>
<p>Chris Folsom has been working with her and has created a prosthestic for her to get her out on the ice and into ice climbing!!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weehawken dance is sponsoring dance-a-grams that can be purchased as a fundraiser for $20.  The girls are trying to raise money for a trip to Denver for a dance convention!  We have 5 senior company members and 5 junior company members from Ouray, Ridgway and Montrose.  Senior company Santas are Abby Purcell, Sydnee Kimmel, Natasha Hill, Conor Keenan.  Junior company reindeer are Hunter Clapsadl, Mackenzie Gibbsm,  Jordan Leo, Abigail Link, Nisha Sprowls.  They dance their way around town to local businesses and restaurants.  Dance-a-gram can be purchased for any occasion.</p>
<p>Steve and I were lucky enough to have our local dancers stop by and show off their talents.  I must admit that I was a bit late in grabbing the camera and only captured a bit of the High Schoolers&#8230;.</p>
