While this week might technically be dedicated to Moffat County visitors, Visit Moffat County director Tom Kleinschnitz knows how fun it will be for residents, too.
From Sunday through Saturday, the tourism association will host a number of events throughout the county to let visitors know they are welcome, but also to remind locals that the summer season is starting.
“I know it’s kind of strange to think about summer and fun things and a post-COVID time, but it’s real,” Kleinschnitz said. “We’ve been seeing a great rebound in visitor information requests substantially so far this year. We’re actually doing better than pre-COVID times.”
David Medrano started working at the Barrel Cathedral Brewery three months ago. That’s not where he started the year, however he was the proud owner of the historic HiWay 40 Grill and Lodge until an electrical fire destroyed the iconic meeting place back in July.
“We’re a business without a home right now and yeah, we don’t know exactly what we’re going to do we got our investment and stuff back so we’re not exactly like out of money,” Medrano said. “But it’s not really about the money. It’s about the people and the relationships that we’ve built.”
