And We're Off!
This unofficial start to summer hits our community BIG, much like the monster rains this week—leaving a wake of services to restore before:
• Fly Fishing Festival this weekend (+ phenomenal weather!)
• Mountain Bike Festival in 2 weeks
• Mountaineer Days 2 weeks later

It's shaping up to be an epic summer and fall of events with little shoulder season since winter, so give an extra mile to all levels of customer service teams across all kinds of businesses—we have a robust season ahead and it's already off to a roaring start.
