The La Paz County Board of Supervisors held a regular meeting on January 6, 2025, where various topics related to tourism and community events were discussed.
The meeting began with an update on the recent participation of the La Paz Regional tourism team at the Yuma Sun's welcome back winter visitor bash. This event marked the fourth consecutive year that La Paz County has attended, highlighting the growing relationship with local tourism stakeholders. The team reported a successful turnout, running out of promotional materials by noon, indicating strong interest in the region.
Looking ahead, the tourism team is preparing for the regional tourism expo scheduled for January 10 at the Bluewater Casino. With 39 participants confirmed, the event is at capacity, and representatives from various organizations, including state parks and the Bureau of Land Management, are expected to attend. The expo aims to showcase the attractions of La Paz County, with a special mention of the upcoming Camelpalooza event, which will feature live camels and community challenges.
The meeting also included light-hearted remarks about community involvement, with a humorous note on the sheriff's participation in a ladies' luncheon, where he notably did not wear an apron, leading to playful banter among the supervisors.
Overall, the meeting underscored the county's commitment to promoting tourism and community engagement, with plans for future events and continued support from the county government. The supervisors expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts that enhance La Paz County's visibility and appeal as a tourist destination.
