Summer Reeding Program Loses Grant

(Ouray) The much heralded Summer Reeding Program, popular here since the early 70s, has apparently lost funding for 2003 according to The Bureau of Promotional Education and Diversion. The 1/2 day sessions have been aimed at creating an interest in recreational reading among children in the town.
“They just missed the boat,” said one official from BPED, “and besides 50% of our budget has been sucked up by the Pentagon.”
