Originally Scheduled for February 15, 2003 the WELLS FARGO RED BALL EXPRESS 
was rescheduled due to weather and relocated to Durango Mountain Resort (DMR).  This was a cooperative effort of all three Rotary Clubs in Durango and allowed local non profit organizations to sell ticket "adoptions," as a way to raise funds for their organizations.  At exactly 2:03 PM, 102 adopted balls were released down Columbine Hill at DMR.  This event raised over $37,500.00  for the Community and provided a great time for everyone.
