The Diversion Day event is open to all residents and landowners within the Boulder County portion of the Allenspark Fire Protection District. Be sure to bring some ID to verify this. Utility bills work well for property owners whose primary residence is out of the area. We will have helpers but, if at all possible, please be prepared to unload your own vehicle.
