Hi I'm Buck! And I ask you to “Look Local First!”
– A community wide campaign to keep dollars in La Plata County as long as possible –

Always consider buying from local merchants and stores before spending your money out of the county or online.
The result: An increased revenue stream that supports efforts to improve roads, bike paths, playgrounds, and many programs that enhance our way of life.

"Buck" Shows up at Carver Brewing Co.

With the Barleywine Ale on tap at Carver Brewing Co. we sat down with Michael Hurst and Aaron Seitz and discussed the topic of buying local. They wanted everyone to know about the New Years Eve Party with a complimentary Barleywine toast at Midnight.

DurangoDowntown.com Article

Have you seen the great “Look Local First” article on www.DurangoDowntown.com?!?!
Supporting your local businesses in Durango and La Plata County is not a bad idea, as we all benefit from those dollars circulating throughout La Plata County.

Jump on board the “Look Local First” campaign. “Buck” the life-size cardboard dollar bill will be all around reminding you to “Look Local First” as you spend your hard earned money.

Go crazy and support the local economy and keep “Buck and his friends” (dollars) in Durango, just ask yourself “can get it here locally at a fair price?”

With the downturn in today’s economy, every dollar counts. Think of it this way, every extra dollar you spend locally stays in La Plata County, in turn helping our economy by increasing tax revenues which help maintain our roads, parks, schools, non-profits and more!

This small attempt will pay off in a big way, literally! Read more about the Look Local First campaign by clicking here:

Meet Buck





"Hello everyone, I'm Buck just your average dollar that enjoys hanging around La Plata county just as much as all of you who live here".

"Ya see, everytime you spend me or one of my friends with a business inside La Plata county, the more I get to hang around and help improve roads, build parks and enhance the quality of life for you and your family.

"You will start seeing me around town showing up on posters, in windows & ads encouraging you to Look Local First when making your buying decisions".

"Remember, everytime you spend a dollar outside of La Plata county one of my friends leaves this beautiful county forever".

"Please keep us around as long as possible".
