On August 2-3, 2023 Cornerstones Community Partners returned to Saguache for a second session of the Saguache Adobe Workshop, in partnership with the Town of Saguache Historic Preservation Commission and HEART of Saguache. Participants built a short wall at the front of Floyd Smith Kids Park in Downtown Saguache and performed a repair of a wall at the Saguache Community Building. Despite summer rains, the building projects were a great success.

Thank you to the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior for History Colorado, and to the Saguache County Commissioners for funding through a CLG Grant and a Saguache County Sales Tax Grant. Thank you to Patrick Cale and Lukas Lucero for pouring the wall foundation. Thank you to Kenny Lovato for consultation. Thank you to Riley Heater, Neil Fenton, and Bill Hazard for helping move the adobes to the worksite. Thank you to the all workshop participants for your help in bringing this new community feature into being. Thank you to the Casa Milagro Acting Troupe from the American Indian Academy for joining the project. Thank you to the Saguache Town Administration and the Board of Trustees for supporting the program needs. Thank you to Saguache Town Market and The Village Pub for lunches.
