The Chamber is disappointed that we cannot further promote the Town of Ridgway through this event. Organizers had hoped to build on the success of last year's event, which drew an estimated 3,500 people to Ridgway. Funds sufficient to hold the event have not been obtained thus far. The Chamber would like to thank those who did provide financial support for this year's event. Plans for the 2009 True Grit Days are pending." I hate it, but it is what it is.

So, much has been done just in the 5 years that we have been here to raise the pride and beautification of our area while keeping with it's rough and rugged history, i.e. Ridgway River Park subdivistion with architectural guidelines that are bent towards a "mining" look. On the whole, most of the folks that have purchased property here are realizing that they have invested well and are wanting to make sure that their investments are enhanced by any development/draws to the region. And yes, you must attend this year. I'm sure it will be the talk of the town same as last year. It is great to see that GIANT strides are being made to do just as you have stated.

It's great for our town to have well run, interesting draws such as these. I'd love to see the town put together a comprehensive marketing program for leveraging not only these kinds of events but also the incredible local beauty and lifestyle. I wasn't able to make it to the True Grit festival last year but will make it a priority this year!

That's why we have just learned to grin and bear it. One great thing I have learned to do in those slightly irritating times is to look up at the great view, take a really nice walk in the clean air or go back into town and enjoy the fact that there isn't any traffic on the streets.

I feel like I'm driving through a swamp!
