One of America's best kept secrets

Those of us who live in Hot Springs County appreciate our unique treasures and pride ourselves on being friendly to those who visit our community to enjoy those attractions.

Receiving feedback from a visitor about their experiences while visiting Thermopolis is necessary to measure how we are doing.

Last weekend a man from Tennessee travelled to Thermopolis to attend the WYO Quarter Horse Ranch Sale.

While here, he stayed at a hotel, ate at restaurants, had drinks at a bar, enjoyed a dinosaur dig and more.

To see this community through the eyes of this visitor was a treat. He could not say enough good about how friendly people were and how fabulous both food and service were.

He commented on the beautiful cowboy statue downtown, the incredible landscape and how fortunate he was to see a bald eagle while he was here.

In his words, “This is one of the coolest little towns I've been to in a very long time, its one of America's best kept secrets.”

Now that's something to be proud of.

For all of those who have been involved along the way, in any small form, in making our community the great place to live in and visit that it is, we say thank you. Please pat yourself on the back and keep up the good work.
