I am so excited for this weekend—I’m hitting the road with some friends to go wine tasting in Cottonwood.
It’s been a few years since I’ve enjoyed drinks on the city’s Main Street, so I’m looking forward to going back and trying some new places.
There is some rain forecasted, though, and relatively chilly temps on the way, so enjoy the sunshine while it lasts!

Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information.
