The City of Montrose was looking for innovative ways to help out area restaurants and bars facing capacity restrictions due to COVID. Colorado Yurt Company suggested a unique idea.
John: “We turned to what we had, which were some tipis in stock that were painted and would make a great structure for a dining table and we pitched the idea, literally, to tipi the town.”
Colorado Yurt CEO John Gibson offered to donate the rental of the tipis at no charge to help out local restaurants. The city is using a small portion of its million dollar share of CARES Act funds to pay Colorado Yurt to install them.
