Apr 16 2006; Cortez, CO, USA; Colorado motorcycle news article; Region attracts Rally in the Rockies; Organizers consider fairgrounds, Echo Basin as possible sites;By Steve Grazier | Journal Staff Writer ; An organizer of the Four Corners Rally in the Rockies - a motorcycle event - is slated to pitch an idea to county commissioners about holding the annual event in Montezuma County. Dan Bradshaw, director of the rally group, is on tap to meet with the commission at 10:30 a.m. Monday to propose moving main events of the celebration to the county fairgrounds with entertainment targeted for the Echo Basin Dude Ranch, which is located above Mancos off County Road 44. “It’s not set in stone, but it’s something we’re working toward,” Bradshaw said. “We’re in the planning stages and want to see how the county commissioners view it along with the sheriff and the public.” Bradshaw did not offer a specific time frame on when the group is hoping to move the rally to the county. He said a decision on when would be up to local officials, and discussion on the topic would likely be broached at Monday’s meeting.

Similar blue-and-white memorial signs began popping up in Colorado in 2004, the year state lawmakers approved a new sign to memorialize victims of fatal crashes.
