The La Paz County Passport is a product of the La Paz Economic Dev. Corp. Tourism Team. This year the Passport features several changes - more pages, a much more user friendly and visually pleasing look overall, the calendar of events has been combined into a com- prehensive, easy to read, overview of everything happening in La Paz and our individual communities. The Tourism Team has worked hard on addressing all the feedback we received over the last few years on how to improve the bro- chure BUT more importantly we have to thank & acknowledge all the incred- ible support we have got from EACH of our partner organizations. The new brochure has a completely new look to it and features a comprehensive list of events throughout the region in an easy to follow format. AND as an added bonus the Tourism Team has been planning a second project called "Explore the Trails of La Paz County"- a focus on ATV/UTV and off-road trails within La Paz County.
