Dear Jim:
Thank you for your recent visit and presentation to the Town Board. We are very excited
about the pending addition. of The Cowboy and The Rancher'to the History Park -- it just
keeps getting better and better,
, ' .
During your visit; you made three specific requests: I hope this letter updates you on
these queries. Fir_st, I'm' waiting to hear back from Michael Blimes on potential dates, -
that he is available to addr~ss the Town Board. As soori as I hear from him and a'date is
set, I'll be in contact with you, Second, th~ Visitor's Center and/or the History Park can,
be declared a non-profit 50l-c-3 but the Town Board would 'ne~d to discuss the pros and
cons associated with this designation. It is my hope that we can address this issue later
this year. Finally, section six of your contract with Fraser states that ,"Hoy shall not have'
responsibility or liability for the use of any such Wooden or Bronze Sculpture after it has
been completed and delivered to Fraser." While this states the Town's'inte~tions, our'
insurance company did indicate that in som'e cases a second attorney may be provided at'
, , their discretion.
I hope this meets your needs and again, thank you for sharing your talents so generously.
Sincerely,

The Winter Park Fraser Valley
Chamber of Commerce
Memorandum
To: Mayor Jensen and the Trustees of the Town of Fraser
From: Steve Mikol, Executive Director
Date: April 19, 1995
Subject: Report of the Winter Park/Fraser Valley Chamber of Commerce
. The Board of Directors of the Winter Park and Fraser Valley Chamber of
Commerce met on April 13, 1995. The financial statements for the month of
February were approved by the Board and are enclosed with this report for
review and comment by the Board of Trustees of Fraser.
. The Board of Directors of the Winter Park/Fraser Valley Chamber of Commerce
has approved the appointment of Jay Dekovic to the Marketing Council. Jay is
Director of Sales for Ski Depot Sports and was strongly endorsed by the
Marketing Council as a result of his energy and marketing experience, and a
desire by the Marketing Council to have greater representation from the retail
sector of the business community.
. During the "off season" through the remainder of April and May, the staff of the
Chamber staff will be distributing the Winter Park and Fraser Valley Mountain
Bike Trail Maps to area businesses. Large qua,ntities will be available to sports
shops and bike rental locations and smaller quantities will be distributed through
lodges and other retail businesses. All businesses will be offered copies of a
laminated version of the map to help promote the valley and to offer directions
to visitors.
. The Chamber has applied for and been granted funds by the Grand County
Tourism Board to pay for a booth at the June 4th Ride for the Wild, a front
range mountain bike ride anticipated to attract 6,500 riders. The Chamber and
Marketing Council will staff the booth and distribute copies of the Mountain Bike
Map along with other material promoting mountain biking in Grand County.

. The Chamber has also been granted $7,000 by the Grand County Tourism
Board to sponsor and combine three existing running races in Grand County to
create a race series. These races are the Hot Sulphur Suffer, the Grand Lake
5K Buffalo Race and the Fraser River Trail Run, which will be run this year as
the "Run for Independence on the Fraser River Trail." This race will benefit the
Kidney Dialysis Center at Snow Mountain Ranch.
. The Chamber is now planning events for Memorial Day weekend in the hope of
getting more businesses open earlier in the summer season., We are planning
for a weekend long "Sidewalk Sale" among a large number of businesses in the
Valley. Hopefully this will capture a share of the business generated by visitors
traveling up and over Trail Ridge Road for its traditional Memorial Day Weekend
opening. A family Casino Night is being planned in conjunction with the Fraser
Valley Metropolitan Recreation District for Saturday Night May 27th.
. The Chamber is working with the Towns of Winter Park and Fraser and with the
Winter Park Resort to try to promote a combined "Clean-Up" event that will
generate community-wide support.
. The Chamber has accepted bids for a new computer system, phone system and
office furnishings and will be installing this equipment in the new building during
the first week of May following carpet installation. The business office
functions of the Chamber staff will be ready to move into the new building at
that time.
. The visitor count for March was 8,505, representing a slight increase over the
8,407 visitors recorded in March of 1994.
. During March, seven new members joined the Chamber and four members were
dropped. This brings our total membership to 291.
