Sometimes, when covering the news, we miss the people who maybe aren’t doing anything dramatic or new, but deserve a little recognition for being one of the many community member who hold our region together. So, KOTO news is running a new series, Pay It Forward. Each segment, we’ll talk with someone in the community about their life and Telluride journey. And then ask them to nominate someone to shine a spotlight on for the next segment. Last week we spoke with Ana Hurtado. Her choice for our next guest: Cristina Dickson, co-founder of the new motorcycle business, Telluride Moto.
