My mom and I applied for our local ambulance squad which once saved my brother's life in a farm accident. It is a wonderful opportunity for rural America. Read the fine print as your county needs to raise a minimum acreage of certain crops but many, many qualify.

My wife and I got married this weekend in our small rural community of Yuma, CO (Pop. appx. 4000) We thought hard about where to have the wedding and even considered having it along the front range of Colorado where I grew up because it would be "easier" for the slew of out-of-town guests that were planning on attending our ceremony. But, as we thought about it we decided on having it in Yuma instead. It really made me happy that we were making quite a significant contribution to our local economy by completely filling 2 local hotels, and also having roughly 100 out of town visitors spending an entire weekend's worth of money in rural Colorado. I would encourage other small people to keep it rural with their weddings as well. All the city people were pleasantly surprised by our town and the event went absolutely perfect! It's a great way to help rural America.Calebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10896854773201974000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790327154193097194.post-10352754708309680282010-09-07T12:00:34.859-05:002010-09-07T12:00:34.859-05:00Haha...I meant to say "small town people"...Haha...I meant to say "small town people" as a opposed to what was actually written to say "small people".
