In the beginning… there was a truck
Thank you all for tuning in to the first of what I hope will be many posts about our new Mobile Visitor Center. And, as a sci-fi fan, I can't help but channel a little Star Trek: "To boldly go where no state has gone before!" That's right, folks—Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø is hitting the road! Sure, some cities have done mobile visitor centers, but we’re talking about a whole state, bringing Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø pride to the masses.
Our mission? Simple: take Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø to the people, showing them why it’s not just a great place to visit, but a place to live, work, and dream big. We’re serving up a slice of Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø hospitality, from our museums and parks to those quirky roadside stops that make road trips unforgettable. We don’t want folks just passing through—we want them stopping, staying, and soaking it all in.
On September 12, 2024, at the State Fair’s Pride of Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø building, we launched this beauty. And just like that building showcases the best of our state, this truck is rolling that same pride across the country, flying the flag of Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø on wheels.
And let’s settle one thing: the truck doesn’t show a sunset—it’s a sunrise! A sunrise on a new day, full of bright futures and possibilities for Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø.
Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø may be known for its wide-open spaces, but there’s so much more on the horizon. This is just the start because here, the sun is always rising on something new.
As we take this truck on the road, may it inspire everyone to experience the beauty, warmth, and endless potential that Â鶹´«Ã½¹ÙÍø has to offer. Here's to the journey ahead and the endless possibilities waiting for all of us!
