Austin O'Mailia, 19, shows off his signature line of BroDux cologne on shelves inside Moffat Mercantile Dec. 17. O'Mailia makes the cologne in his bedroom and hopes to see it land in big box stores in the future.
In a year full of challenges for small businesses and entrepreneurs, 19-year-old Moffat County native Austin O’Mailia had a breakthrough in his own right, seeing the completion of his very own line of cologne, made right from the comfort of his own bedroom.
It took three years of love and labor to bring BroDux to market.
A 2019 Moffat County High School graduate, O’Mailia has long enjoyed mixing and matching things especially chemicals in soaps and fragrances, due to his parents previously owning Detail Solutions — auto detailing business — in Craig.
A fresh, thick coat of snow provided the perfect backdrop to Saturday’s Downhome Christmas event, hosted by the Downtown Business Association along Yampa Avenue.
With a fresh layer of power, cold temperatures and the perfect Christmas treats, a handful of downtown businesses that participated downtown helped residents get into the Christmas spirit.
The event had 15 businesses participating including The Embroidery Shoppe, K S Kreations, Moffat Mercantile, Kitchen A la More, Kester Jewelry, the Jungle Pet Shop, Buckaroos Boutique and more.
Residents that participated in Downhome Christmas had extra incentive to visit as many of the 14 stores downtown as possible, thanks to a North Pole passport that had to be signed by each business they visited. Once the passport was filled out, residents then had to take the passports to the Craig Chamber of Commerce, giving themselves a chance to win one of two $250 prizes in spree bucks. The chamber was billed as the “North Pole” for the event.
