Dillon officials are continuing to look at new ways to help residents, stores and restaurants stay afloat amid the ongoing financial hardships brought on by the pandemic. The newest idea is providing funds directly to residents to spend at local businesses.
Dillon’s Marketing and Communications Director Kerstin Anderson presented to Dillon Town Council members on Tuesday, Jan. 19, a pair of potential programs meant to provide incentives to encourage residents to get out and spend money at local stores and eateries. One idea was a matching funds program, similar to the Love Frisco, Shop Frisco program, in which the town would provide matching bonuses to residents who purchased gift cards to use in town.

The Dillon Ice Castles will open Saturday, Dec. 19, inviting guests to once again make their way to the Dillon Town Park to view the fourth iteration of the frozen attraction.
The castles initially were scheduled to open Dec. 26, but officials said favorable weather conditions have set the table for an early unveiling.
“Mother Nature was nice to us this year, so we were able to get the castle open earlier then expected and hopefully make a lot of people happy this Christmas,” said Melissa Smuzynski, a spokesperson for Ice Castles.
In recent months, crew members have been on scene placing thousands of icicles to construct the castles, which are sprawled over an acre of the park and complete with tunnels, fountains, slides and towers embedded with colorful lights.
