Now that Memorial Day has passed, the community is welcoming and bracing for our influx of tourists. Many a business is glad of that transition after the doldrums of April. We have been spending time talking about supporting our businesses, especially in the downtown district. There are more events, programs, signage and information that is coming on board to help us navigate the summer downtown. If you missed last week’s Chamber article, find it at www.PagosaSUN.com.

With the disruption the community is experiencing from the major highway reconstruction project, many of our visitors will have questions and concerns. Is your business ready to handle all that information in a friendly and positive way? What about if we need to go into fire restrictions this summer? Do you or any of your employees understand the different levels of fire restrictions? What about if we have road closures during the winter months?

Since many of the cars entered into the Pagosa Springs Car Show are classic cars, what better way to celebrate the era of the ‘40s and ‘50s than adding a pinup contest? Pinup contests at car shows are an iconic and longstanding tradition celebrating not only the glamour and retro styles, but the era’s iconic fashions and spirit of the time. If you attend car shows, you will often see owners of classic cars dressed up in the style of the year of their car.

With the U.S. 160 construction project in full swing, the community will be hearing me sound like a scratched record repeating the same information or message. And it may not be a message everyone wants to hear. We need to try harder to support our downtown businesses. I was disappointed to hear, yet again, from a resident that “there wasn’t parking, so I just said forget it.” I will beg to differ with this resident. Unfortunately for the businesses, it is not a busy time of year.

April is a tough month for businesses, here in Pagosa Springs… and has been even harder with the start of the U.S. 160 construction project. However, April is now behind us, and there is so much opportunity in front of us. Let’s start with the downtown businesses. There will be lots of activity and opportunities coming up this summer for you to support our downtown merchants. I continue to hear about avoiding downtown completely. That is not the attitude to take.
