“As we begin 2019, many are making resolutions to be more present, to focus on what’s important in their lives, and to make positive changes,” said Alex Brown, Town of Silver City Manager. “In conjunction with those resolutions, vacations are known for helping us to reset our focus and get away from the stressors of daily life. However, vacations can come with their own stressors of time and money, so we suggest a trip to Silver City, where visitors don’t have to spend months planning and budgeting. With a variety of activities and attractions, Silver City is an affordable and inspiring option to start the New Year on a positive note.”
