BUSINESS OF THE MONTH:

We are proud to recognize Absolute Shine Auto Body & Paint as our Business of the Month!

At Absolute Shine, their mission is clear: to provide customers with peace of mind and industry-leading collision repairs when they need it most. After an accident, having a trusted team to turn to makes all the difference — and Absolute Shine raises the bar every single day. Their commitment to quality workmanship, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set them apart in the industry. They work tirelessly to restore vehicles safely and efficiently so their customers can get back on the road with confidence.



In addition to their professional excellence, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Absolute Shine for being a major supporter of our Swoop of the Cranes project. Their generosity in coating the cranes to ensure they are protected and long-lasting is an incredible contribution to our community. Because of their expertise and support, these cranes will continue to shine and be enjoyed for years to come.

Please join us in congratulating Absolute Shine Auto Body & Paint on this well-deserved recognition!

2026 SWOOP OF THE CRANES

The cranes are flying into Monte Vista! This week, you’ll see our beautifully decorated cranes hanging all along Hwy 160 and down Adams Street. We invite everyone to take a stroll, drive through, and admire the incredible creativity and talent our artists have shared with the community.



A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors for helping bring public art to our town and making this project possible. We’re so grateful for your support in celebrating creativity in Monte Vista!

We’re excited to invite you to a special in-person dinner event hosted by the Monte Vista Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Rocky Mountain Employee Ownership Center (RMEOC)!

Join us for an evening of great food, engaging conversation, and community connection as we explore how employee ownership, cooperatives, and succession planning can help strengthen local businesses and keep our economy thriving.

To help us plan dinner and materials, please don’t forget to register and let us know you’ll be joining us. If we don’t receive enough registrations, we may pivot to a virtual Zoom session—so we encourage you to come out and be part of the conversation in person!

Come hungry and leave inspired—together, we can build a stronger, more resilient Monte Vista.

 Date: Thursday, March 26th
