The Moab Office of Tourism and Grand County aim to bolster tourism in early December, with new holiday celebrations joining long-standing traditions.
File photoThe Moab Tourism Advisory Board met Sept. 9 and unanimously recommended spending roughly $129,000 for the winter campaign.
The Grand County Commission soon approved the expenditure — passing unanimously at the Sept. 16 meeting.
Grand County is selecting a “centuries-old” Juniper tree in Sand Flats Recreation Area that will be lit with solar-powered lights in compliance with Dark Sky standards.
