DISCOVER WELD AND GREELEY TRIBUNE TEAM UP ON TOURISM MAGAZINE SHOWCASING WELD COUNTY
As you travel throughout our beautiful state this summer, you may notice a tourism book for Weld County. Discover Weld was approached by the Greeley Tribune this spring about working on a tourism book to highlight Weld County. And since that is what Discover Weld is all about, it seemed like a great fit. The book, which is available at various tourism locations and state visitors centers throughout Colorado, highlights our county's events, attractions and more. To take a peek at the electronic version of the book, click here.
As our Facebook audience grows so does interest in Weld County, which is great! The fan favorite post from last month was actually the birthday post for the Town of Johnstown!
Speaking of Facebook, we are trying to reach 2,000 page likes this summer, and we are just over the halfway point. If you haven't liked our Facebook page yet, please do. and if you already have, please invite your friends and family to like it as well. We have lots of great information to share with others about our great county!
JUNE COLORING PAGES FEATURE WELD EVENTS
This month we thought we would offer two coloring pages that highlight a great event in Weld County. Go to http://www.discoverweld.com/WeldCountyColoringPages.html and download either the Frederick in Flight coloring page or the Greeley Stampede coloring page. Or better yet, download both! Color them and send us a scan or photo of your finished masterpiece by June 27, and we will share in on our Discover Weld sites!
