At the end of Highlands Chamber of Commerce’s 85th year of promoting community enterprise, there is an evolution going on. The Chamber’s focus is shifting from touting Highlands as a seasonal resort to a year-round township. May through October is extended to include all the fabulous attractions the Plateau has to offer through winter and early spring.
This year, as the trees finally shook off their amazing coats of color to don their winter white, residents and visitors have been readying fireplaces, polishing skis, and gearing up for the glistening glow of winter in the wild.
Stores, galleries, restaurants, businesses of all kinds are offering perennial service to clients who welcome the winter and treat themselves to the serene beauty of our inviting wonderland.
Highlands truly is a destination resort all year long. In the outdoors, we are surrounded by heart-pumping winter sports and recreation. Inside we’re lavished with fine art, exquisite dining, and world-class entertainment.
From the crisp, frosty air to the warm hearths of Highlands, you’ll find the contrasts invigorating. Lean back and enjoy a welcoming fireplace crafted out of brick or stone or majestic masonry and stoked with hardwood logs that feed a roaring blaze. Watch the embers settle into glowing coals, just right for warming toes and happy hearts. Our hometown ambiance is intoxicating. Eat your heart out Colorado.
While the Chamber is cooking up exceptional events for a cozy Highlands hibernation 2016-17, help them celebrate winners of these prestigious Chamber awards:
The Robert B. Dupree Award to Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust for Outstanding Community Service; the Duke Energy Award to Nick Bazan (Friends of Founders’, Park) for Volunteer of the Year; and the Del Roberts Award to Old Edwards Inn and Spa for Business of the Year.
What an impressive way to celebrate 2016 and welcome in a promising new year!
