Promoting tourism is this hero's task

Captain Attractions made his heroic debut this morning at an event at Experience Colorado Springs at Pikes Peak. The event marked the start of See America Week. Michele Carvell of Pikes Peak Country Attractions introduced Captain Attractions, hailed as “the buster of boredom, the blaster of the summertime blues and an all-around great guy.” The black-masked Captain Attractions, wearing a padded blue uniform that gives him some help in the muscle department, will show up here and there over the summer. He’ll be providing free passes to attractions to folks who declare their love for having fun in their own backyard - that is, the Pikes Peak region.
