Concern about the economy is widespread.

It's worth remembering National Park visitation rebounded after the 1988 Yellowstone Fires, the September 11th tragedy, and the 2007/8 recession. We are a nation of travelers who value the crown jewels of America's National Parks. In time, visitors will return, and we will be ready. Looking long-term to 2021 we are not concerned. 

However, it is still too hard to predict this Summer, the more medium-term. If we are successful in "flattening the curve" and lessening the impact on our community, it may take longer for the economy to recover, though we will have saved lives. We may even be welcoming visitors back this mid to late Summer. It is this short term - 1 to 3 months - where we now need to focus.

THIS IS WHAT SHOPPING LOCAL LOOKS LIKE.

  • Buy Local Online – Check local business websites; they are willing and able to order you what you want. Yes, it might take a few steps extra, perhaps a phone call, but that's an excellent opportunity for a conversation to get to know your retailers. The Chamber website has a directory if you need some suggestions.
