California Welcome Center to put Ridgecrest on map
Ridgecrest Daily Independent
A new California Welcome Center will likely put Ridgecrest on the map. Or more prominently on the map, since the desert area is already a mecca for film productions and tourism. But look for even more exposure when the new California Welcome Center opens sometime in 2021.
That was the word from Kari Crutcher at the Ridgecrest City Council meeting Wednesday.
Crutcher is the new interim Executive Director of the Ridgecrest Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. She was on hand at the council meeting giving the annual RACVB report.
The big news is that the RACVB and Ridgecrest competed against other areas of the state and won a designation as an official California Welcome Center. The Ridgecrest welcome center will join 17 other locations as part of the California Welcome Center network.
