As a native of Eastern Colorado, I know firsthand just how special small towns are and how deep that hometown pride runs. What makes small-town Colorado better than ANYWHERE else (including other states’ small towns because, yes, there is a BIG difference)? We are glad you asked:

Flickr/Let Ideas Compete No matter which part of Colorado you hail from, if you live in a small town, you know just how important agriculture is and how farmers are the unsung hero.
- Everyone may know your business, but they are always looking out for you, too.

- Our sunrises and sunsets are just better.
Flickr/Michael Levine-Clark We can’t really control this, but it is still something that we enjoy and can feel proud about!
- The funny sign guy originated in a small town in Colorado.
Indian Hills Community Sign Facebook How funny and clever are small-town Coloradans?
- 4-H, FBA, and FFA are life.
