Grateful for fantastic voter turnout

Now that the election has come and gone, I’d like to thank some people for helping with our ride to the polls event. Our event was a great success and we could not have done it without all the support we got from the community. With over 60 percent voter participation, Colorado led the nation in voter turnout. Wahoo!

We would like to thank Austin Nelson for allowing Pedi-Pigs to shuttle folks to and from the polls; Gretchen Bleiler for offering to pedal folks around; The Aspen Times and Anna Stonehouse for the great pictures; Craig Turpin for being our Peter Parker and grabbing some great action shots; Igor Laray for donating ad space and helping to get the word out; Skippy and Fi and their “unicorns” for helping to decorate the cars and wrangle any and all voters; and, lastly but most certainly not least, Kevin Cordova and Stacy Rothenberg of NOMI limo for donating cars, drivers and gas for the shuttle service.

Without all of this support, this event never would have been so successful. Thank you to this wonderful community for embracing the efforts of all above.
