Local Partnership Funding Grants Available
|
|
|
Applications are open for Local Partnership Funding grants. Each year the Littleton City Council considers requests for discretionary grants of up to $25,000, historically from nonprofit organizations that serve Littleton residents, and awards the grants to the organizations during the budget process. This is a competitive process as council always receives more requests than it has funds available. Applications are due by August 8.

Littleton Museum Welcomes Piglets
|
|
|
 Cute piglets are now on display at the Littleton Museum’s 1860s living history farm! Eight little oinkers were born to mom Blanche on July 3.
The piglets are a bit shy, so if they’re hiding in the closed part of their shed, wait quietly and one is bound to tumble out to explore within moments.
There is no charge for admission to the museum.
