Cry Baby Ranch
Roxanne Thurman opened her doors in 1990 but moved to the north side ofLarimer Streeta few years ago in order to expand her ???homestead.??? Turning the term ???western wear??? on its ear, this boutique offers cowgirl boots, irreverent tees, outerwear and fabulous accessories. From panorama rawhide lampshades to custom jewelry; designer scarves (created by the family of the ???dickie??? inventor!) to vintage cowgirl home furnishings and bath products, this eclectic shop is a treat for the inner-cowgirl in all of us. Catering toDenver???s more upscale visitors, Cry Baby Ranch also does a bang-up business on line and is a favorite for mail orders from Hotel Teatro???s more high profile guests.

In 1912 a visionary named Franz Riesfeldt had an idea. Riesfeldt, a tailor with nothing but an understanding of fabric, a dream and perhaps too much time on his hands, constructed a suit that would allow him to fly. All he needed was a point high enough for him to jump. Enter the Eiffel Tower.
As you can imagine, the city was abuzz with excitement. This was, after all, before cable television and the internet so the people were understandable hungry for quality entertainment.

Last year I was designing an event for this couple from Texas who wanted to have a country rock band as entertainment. That’s how I discovered that France has a big thing for American Country & Western culture! WHO KNEW? There are tons of French country bands around with such names as Youpi Whaou or Les Prairie Dogs or Texas Sidestep- these bands have HUGE followings! At the forefront of it all is an email ‘zine called American Leisure Mag, which updates you on “All Things Country” going on in France. The latest issue has a big ole Budweiser Ad front and center (bien sur!), a video highlight of a Country Line Dance Compilation CD, the Texas Music Chart, and info on their annual Festival des Loisirs Am?ricains 2007 -Three Days in America, which is scheduled to take place the 28th-30th of September just outside of Paris. The Festivals’ website boasts Line Dancing competitions, an Indian Village, Marching Band, Electronic Bull, an American Leisure Salon (with over 150 American products for sale), an expo of American cars, trucks and Harley Davidsons…Oo! There will also be a D?ner Spectacle called Elvis In Las Vegas with a musical fireworks show called “Love Me Tender”. Yee HAW!! Wars my hat??

Ask anybody and the typical answer you will get is that there is nothing in Alabama that is of special interest to the tourist. Yet tourism happens to be big business in the state and is, in fact, the state’s biggest industry, generating well over $10 billion in revenue each year.
The key to Alabama’s attractiveness as a tourist destination is above all its rural and agricultural orientation punched with great hospitality, delectable cuisine, top notch Alabama motels, hotels andGulf Coast resorts, and a globally well-known events calendar with many festivals and performances thrown in.
