Hello Again!

Well, it looks like spring has finally decided to visit us in Ouray. We are all enjoying the sound and fresh smells of the spring rain. Thanks to the many large snow storms over the winter our snowpack in the high country accumulated nicely and we can now look forward to even more fresh green grasses and wildflowers in the mountains.

In this issue we bring you Balloons ~n~ Vrooms! On Mother's Day Weekend the town of Ridgway will play host to the some amazing hot air balloons and classic cars!

We have also thrown in an idea on how to show Mom how much you love her and how to be a hero and help save and support your own local economy!

With Memorial Day Weekend coming up we would also like to say a big thank you to all of our active and retired military personnel. Give us a call at anytime to make your reservations and you will receive 20% off our nightly rate.

Thanks as always for your continued support and patronage!

saving the brick and mortars our nation is built on®

Save your local economy...three stores at a time.

Think about which three independently owned stores you'd miss most if they were gone. Stop in, say hello, and pick a little something up. That's how they stay around.

50
If just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 each month in independently owned stores, their purchases would generate $42,629,700,000 in revenue.*

For every $100 spent in independently owned stores,
$68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. In a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

1
The number of people it takes to start the trend...you.

Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy.
