We're taking you on an evocative journey into Canyon City, the playground of my youth. A place where Apple Blossom Festivals, Owl Cigar Shops, and Christmas tree farms share the neighborhood with a maximum security prison. We've got a delightful conversation lined up with a potential future bakery owner who's conjuring up innovative delicacies like cheesecake egg rolls and has an abundance of ideas for using fresh, local fruit.
We've got tales to tell from our adventures in Pueblo and Canyon City that will have you on the edge of your seat. Discover with us the clandestine tunnels of the prohibition era, step into the Alcagar store that's a standing testament to family tradition since 1943, and learn about the transformation of cigar shops post indoor smoking bans. Understand the intriguing demographic mix of The Villages retirement community, and join us as we recollect a memorable travel experience marked by a campfire-less period due to the wildfires in Colorado Springs.
We don't stop there - we've got more to share about the culture, history, and attractions of Canyon City. Hear about the pioneering Denardo family's apple farms, the local love for the Taco Blanco, and the gripping past of the Territorial Prison. The Apple Blossom Festival, the Waffle Wagon, and the upcoming Best of the West Wing Fest - we've got it all covered. So tune in, enjoy the ride, and share in the captivating stories that have been the backdrop of our journey. We remain, as ever, grateful for your support and encouragement.
