Celebrity Tour Popular Diversion

(Ridgway, CO  from Miller Mesa Moon and Stars)

          The 2025 Cow Creek Celebrity Tour has been well received and will expand in 2026. Over 20 celebrities, new to the area, have already signed up to view the homes of carpenters, plumbers, masseuses, cowboys and teachers in Ouray County.

     The weekend experience is expected to give celebrities (many of whom are self-crowned) a chance to see how mere mortals live their lives. Organizers hope the visits will give the celebrities a peek at acceptable mountains fashion, interior design and culinary preferences in the Rockies.

     “That was the first time I’ve ever been in a trailer,” said one sweet young arrival from California. “They’re nice.”

     Coming autograph sessions will allow everyone to rub elbows after touring Ridgway Hardware, Billings, Rocky Mountain Jewelry and the local cemetery. These leading businesses will offer wine and cheese and encourage conversation between the two entities.

     Maps to the local’s homes are available at the chamber of comments as well as through The New Chinese Theater, Dogs Are Profitable and the Integrated Shelter for Telluride Refugees, which is under construction above the water treatment plant on Domka Avenue.

     “Things were rough around here before all the celebrities showed up,” said one old timer from his rocker at the Cookie Tree Saddle Shop. “But now we’re all saved.”
