The Rotary Club of La Junta was caught in a web of community spirit during the annual Tarantula Fest Parade on September 26! Decked out in spiderwebs, spiders and even spider-themed glasses, Rotarians joined the fun while spreading the word about their new Historic Walking Tour of Downtown La Junta.

The self-guided tour invites residents and visitors to discover the people, buildings and businesses that shaped this historic community, incorporated in 1881. Through 19 stops featuring photographs, stories and audio narration, participants can explore La Junta's colorful past, including its important role along the historic Santa Fe Trail.

From tarantulas to treasured landmarks, La Junta Rotarians are finding creative ways to connect people with their community and preserve local history.
