The Fremont County Commissioners voted Tuesday to give its unanimous support to a plan by the Cotopaxi Re-3 School District to pursue a Great Outdoors Colorado mini-grant to further improve the baseball field in Cotopaxi. Principal Peggy Gerk , baseball coach Ryan Christensen, and students Megan McNew and Sam Gerk, detailed their plans for improving the field if they receive a $45,000 ‘GOCO’ grant. Christensen said the money will be used to drill a well and install an irrigation system, lay new sod, and build a fence to keep cattle off the field. The District 3 Road Department would provide some in-kind services to prepare the field. Fremont County will be the official applicant for the Cotopaxi baseball grant.
