Outdoor recreation talks center around Moffat County’s longstanding traditions, but also its future
“The Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office has spent the summer traveling around Colorado to talk with communities about new outdoor recreation grant opportunities, including the Colorado State Outdoor Recreation grant.
OREC staff came to Craig on Wednesday, Aug. 24, for a presentation and listening sessions to hear what communities want to see happen on the state level in terms of support for recreation.
In addition to the listening session, Hall and his team partnered with Chuck Sullivan, and the Colorado-based non-profit called The Wright, to host a happy hour and Campfire Conversation where a locally-focused discussion of recreation could be explored.”

Introducing the 2019 Wright Contenders
Each year, Something Independent embarks on a mission to assemble a new class of Wright contenders. These outdoor-inspired founders are apt to have started their businesses not on the whiteboard or in the conference room, but rather on the trail, around the campfire, or on the back of a napkin over a whiskey. These companies are set apart not only by their grit and resilience but in their approach to work which we see as honest, committed and collaborative.
