This past weekend, celebrations erupted around the world as every major new organization from CNN to Fox News to the Associated Press to the New York Times called the US Presidential election for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Telluride was no exception. Despite rainy weather Saturday morning, a crowd organically gathered in front of the San Miguel County Courthouse on Mainstreet less than an hour after the calls. Champagne bottles popped and car horns honked as dozens cheered the results.
