Some board members of a newly formed foundation took time out Saturday to spend a windy afternoon on the bridge overlooking their first project. The Fountain Creek Foundation, formed earlier this year, is trying to raise $4.75 million to develop an Environmental Stewardship Center on Fountain Creek north of the Pinon Bridge over Fountain Creek.
