WE LCOME

On behalf of Anita and myself, I welcome you back to Telluride. The last year and a half have been challenging for many and, even now, the future can feel so uncertain. As you get ready to take part in the events and gatherings over the next few days, please, take the time to pause and reflect on all the goodness in our lives. Enjoy the beauty of our majestic surroundings and, for these too brief moments, please, enjoy each other’s company. Over last year’s imposed hiatus, you may have noticed that our brand has changed; the Telluride Festival of Cars & Colors has transitioned to become the Telluride Autumn Classic. The name has changed but, our passion for our community, for machines and for you, has remained steadfast. The name change is a result of the evolution and growth of the event. Our venue here in Telluride is unmatched anywhere and we can see that our desire to be one of the best events on earth is firmly within our reach. We take great pride in the relationships we have built in our community over the years. Without the generous assistance of the Telluride Regional Airport, the Town of Mountain Village and the Telluride Ski & Golf Resort, our road would have been a much more challenging one. We would like to thank those entities for their continued support, not only for the four days of the Festival, but throughout the year. We encourage you to visit our world class restaurants and our unique retail establishments. And as you stroll down our historic streets and admire the gleaming chrome of the wonderful vehicles that have traveled here from around the country to bask in the Colorado sun, remind yourself to make your lodging reservations for next year’s event. In closing, we would like to thank all those who started this journey with us seven years ago and we welcome those who are experiencing this scenic adventure for the first time. We are forever grateful to have you by our side. Thank you, Ray & Anita Cody
