CHUN Remembers Long-time Volunteer, Sharon Rawles
Longtime People's Fair Entertainment Chair and Steering Committee member Sharon Rawles passed away on Sunday September 28th. Sharon was deeply committed to the local Colorado music industry and was responsible for the success of many artists and bands through her tireless efforts. For Capitol Hill United Neighborhoods and the People's Fair, she was equally committed and helped raise the profile of our event over some 20 years of volunteerism.
Because of her passion and dedication, the People's Fair has become a popular platform for local artists and bands to showcase their talents and entertain the masses. She also helped develop and promote the very popular UMX band auditions. During her tenure as entertainment chair, hundreds of thousands of people have come each first weekend in June and enjoyed both up and coming and old time favorites from the Denver music scene.
Perhaps most importantly, Sharon was a great friend to CHUN and the People's Fair, and will be missed by all who knew her.
Services will be held on Friday, October 3rd, 11:00AM at Bullock Mortuary, 1375 E. Old Hampden Road, Englewood CO 80113. 303-789-2535.
Following the Services there will be a Tribute to Sharon, held at Lincoln's Roadhouse, 1201 S. Pearl Street.

A Message from the CHUN Interim Executive Director
I am pleased to let you know that as of August 1, I will assume the role of Interim Executive Director. Former Executive Director Drew O’Connor has moved on to accept a position with a new organization called The Civic Canopy. I’d like to personally thank him for his commitment to CHUN and wish him the best of luck. In my interim role, I look forward to working with the CHUN Board of Delegates, staff and volunteers to continue the important work that CHUN has provided to Capitol Hill for nearly four decades. While we sometimes slow down in the summer, I can assure you that there are a myriad of issues, projects and “goings on” that I will be delving into with great enthusiasm and vigor. If I can do anything for you please don’t hesitate to call or email me. I look forward to working with you.
