Lottery funds have helped change Black Friday into #FreshAirFriday.
Traditionally the day after Thanksgiving is known as one of the biggest shopping days of the year, but not in Colorado anymore. Lottery funds helped cover the cost for admission to all 42 state parks on the day after Thanksgiving.
Fresh Air Friday provides access to amazing recreation opportunities including miles of trails, scenic views, wildlife viewing and angling among others. The annual event was again a great success and exceeded all expectations. Coloradans are taking advantage of this great opportunity to enjoy Colorado State Parks. Most Colorado state parks hit record visitors for #FreshAirFriday 2017.
An important part of being a Coloradan is our commitment to the outdoors and a healthy lifestyle. That’s why I give my time and effort to help maintain different outlets for fellow Coloradans to stay healthy while giving back to the great outdoors that Colorado has to offer. This could not be done without the contributions of the Colorado Lottery dollars. Colorado Lottery dollars make the outdoors accessible to everyone and make a positive impact on our lives.
