Moffat County Commissioner Audrey Danner, left, poses with Dolores Dracon, a longtime volunteer at the Colorado Welcome Center in Julesburg, on Monday evening during a Moffat County Tourism Association-sponsored dinner at Moffat County Fairgrounds Picnic Shelter. Dracon and about 25 other volunteers from the Welcome Center are traveling throughout Northwest Colorado this week as part of a "study tour" to learn more about the area to better assist visitors. Dracon won the door prize, a copy of "Tales of the Old West Retold," donated by the Museum of Northwest Colorado, because she has been volunteering at the Welcome Center since it opened in 1995 and has logged the most hours of any volunteer - more than 6,000 in all.
