If you’ve ever planned a long bike ride only to find no suitable food to bring with you in your cupboard, Grand Junction resident Dave Grossman feels your pain.
Now, Grossman is hoping a new business venture can provide relief to those looking for good sustenance to bring out for a bike ride or a long run.
Grossman recently founded Fuel Source, an online business that allows customers to order their favorite training foods and have them delivered on a schedule that works for the buyer. The website is fuelsrc.com
“You sign up online, fill your cart with things you like and tell us when you’d like them,” Grossman said.
Fuel Source will sell products from Colorado companies, including Durango-based Tailwind Nutrition and Steamboat Springs’ Honey Stinger. Customers can change the frequency in which they receive goods at any time.
Grossman is the lone employee of Fuel Source, but hopes to add as the business grows and hopefully become a job creator for the Grand Valley.
“We make it convenient so you can make sure you have what you need when you want it,” Grossman said. “Our slogan is, ‘Always ready.'”
■ The Colorado Association for Viticulture and Enology, or CAVE, has announced that all event tickets are now on sale for the 27th annual Colorado Mountain Winefest. This year’s event is scheduled for Sept. 13-16. Event tickets are available online at coloradowinefest.com.
“Winefest has been a sold-out event for the past three years in a row, and our 2018 ticket sales are already outpacing 2017,” CAVE Executive Director Cassidee Shull said in a press release. “Our VIP tickets sold out in record time this year so we are strongly encouraging festival attendees to purchase their tickets in advance.”
This year’s Festival in the Park event will take place Sept. 15 at Palisade’s Riverbend Park. The event is the state’s largest wine festival and includes unlimited samples from more than 55 Colorado wineries, live music, artisan vendors, a grape stomp and more.
General admission tickets are $50 and include entrance into the park, a commemorative wine glass, wine tote and more.
In 2017, the Colorado Mountain Winefest was voted the Best Wine Festival in the nation by USA Today.
■ For the second-consecutive year, downtown Grand Junction visitors will have the chance to play a tune or two while on Main Street.
Downtown Grand Junction this week placed three pianos along Main Street with a slightly new twist this year. Now, the instruments were painted by local artists.
The Downtown Grand Junction organization has dubbed this year’s effort as “Street Beats,” and is hoping to build off the success of last year’s “Keys to the City” program.
Local artists Ethan Dow, Donna Fullerton and Krizia Rodriguez were selected to paint the pianos for the 2018 season. The pianos were donated last year by the Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra.
Each piano has been adopted by a downtown business to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the instruments.
For more information, contact Caitlin Love, downtown marketing and communications specialist, at [email protected].
“Downtown is incredibly honored to showcase more local art and we’re looking forward to continuing the program each year,” Love said in a press release.
