The Crookston Visitors Bureau announced earlier this week that Cathy LaJesse has been hired as the new Tourism Coordinator with a start time of January 2022. LaJesse is originally from Crookston and has been back in the area for the past 13 years.
Lajesse stated “My hobbies include biking, whether it’s gravel bike, road bike, fat tire bike, anything with biking. I also love to kayak down the river and, as somebody that does like to kayak, I have some ideas for how we can bring more people into Crookston with that as well.”
LaJesse already has a few ideas for how to make some events in Crookston bigger and looks forward to attracting more overnight visitors.
