Graduation is barely over, and the community is in full swing with summer activities. There will be the usual gearing up of live theater, including the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts and its great lineup of shows all throughout the summer, and the summer production of “Matilda” from Curtains Up Pagosa. The 19th Hole Concert series returns for its June run on June 5, providing live music at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club every Thursday evening.

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.
