'Rack Pack' team hosts booths
The Relay for Life "Rack Pack" team is hosting booths and activities Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Enrollment open for dog training classes
Total Teamwork Training LLC is seeking dog owners to register for upcoming dog training classes.
A family dog-training is scheduled to begin within the next 30 days. Puppies must have had their second set of shots at least one week before the training to enroll in the class. For more information, call 824-4189 or 824-5148.
Free open house scheduled at CMS
Craig Middle School will host a one-hour open house at 1 p.m. Saturday at the school, 915 Yampa Ave. Drawings of the new middle school will be on display and people can tour the existing school facilities. Demolition on the existing building is scheduled to start this summer.
Refreshments will be provided at the event, which is free and open to the public. For more information, call 824-3289.
Recycling collection temporarily shut down
Recycling services to Craig residents will not be available for the next two to three weeks as the Steamboat Springs Waste Management facility repairs a broken baler.
Waste Management uses the baler to compact recyclables and ship them away. Officials said the amount of materials put into the baler wore out the floor underneath it, and the baler pushed through the floor.
Officials said the soonest the floor could be repaired is May 30.
Craig's Road and Bridge Department uses Waste Management to provide free recycling services to Craig residents. The department's recycling center, 1775 N. Yampa Ave., will be closed until Waste Management resumes operations.
