I was pleasantly surprised at the article that appeared in our local Summit Daily newspaper this afternoon. Most locals, and even those that aren't, can attest to the healthy lifestyle that permeates most of Summit County. But what Colorado residents may not have known is that Summit County is rated #1 out of 3,060 nationwide counties surveyed, based on number of micro-businesses and lower rates of mortality, obesity and diabetes.

Being the owner of a small business, Simply Summit Realty, and co-owner of my husband's business, The Hot Tub Company,Inc, I know first-hand how important local community is to the success of small business. We all rely on each other, encourage and support one another and refer consumers to our local establishments.
If you are one of the "transplants" from another state, you were probably drawn to Summit County for the endless outdoor activities that our wonderful County offers. I know that is what enticed my husband and I to move here twenty-one years ago. Skiing, biking, rafting, hiking...the list goes on. We now have three children, born in and being raised in Summit County, that we encourage to participate in an array of outdoor activities.
How great it is to own and live in an area that most people save for all year to vacation in.
