Hello LJ! Spring is in the air and with it comes another season jam packed with events. I'm always shocked when I hear someone say "there is nothing to do in La Junta." Of course I have to chime in and let them know just how much there is to do here.
I was recently hanging out with the group of archaeologists that held a convention here. They absolutely loved our town. And couldn't believe how nice and polite everyone was. It made me proud to hear all the good comments.
The only negative thing I heard was that when asked about local attractions and events. A few of our cashiers had nothing to offer. These are the people on the front lines of our tourism industry. They are the ones that are most often asked for directions or suggestions on where to eat and what to do. And their response makes that first impression.
So I ask our local business community to educate your employees as to some of our local attractions. And to stay informed of the local events that we have going on. That information is so easy to find. Be it the Tribune Democrat, KBLJ 1400, www.LaJuntaEvents.com, or contacting the La Junta Chamber 384-7411.
We here at the Chamber are dedicated to helping promote local business but we need your help on this issue. So please take the time to stay informed. It may be your business that is affected by someone else's lack of knowledge. We are all in this together. So let's do our best to help one another. Thank you all and have a super prosperous April.
Sincerely,
Tim Klob
2011 Chamber President
