The Chamber of Commerce has gone back in time, too. At its annual planning retreat, the Chamber board of directors decided to go back to its tagline, \u201cWhere the west still lives.\u201d With the help of Geeks on Grand, we have been able to locate some of those license plate frames that say \u201cWhere the west still lives.\u201d If you\u2019ve been looking for one, stop by the Visitor Center at 101 E. Bauer Ave. and pick one up. We hope to order bumper stickers soon.<\/p>\n
The Visitor Center has been preparing for the holidays, with a new inventory of books, maps, fun stuff for the kids and stocking stuffers. The Louis L\u2019Amour library has been replenished after being decimated by teenage boys bought three and four copies of his books in one shopping spree. Did you know that Louis L\u2019Amour created the character Hopalong Cassidy? We now have some of those old favorites. Here is some good news: Our book sales were up by 22 percent. I will be calling folks to get my annual pulse on how summer went for our businesses. After Thanksgiving, the bookstore will be running its annual sale of 20 percent off in the gift shop.<\/p>\n
For those who receive the Chamber of Commerce newsletter, be aware that the newsletter will be published on Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. If you have a business that plans to be open on Thanksgiving, please call or send an email to the Chamber about your hours and your menu: (970) 533-7434 or chamber@mancosvalley.com<\/a>. There will be no newsletter the week of Nov. 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chamber of Commerce has gone back in time, too.
