COLORADO SPRINGS â When El Paso County hit Level Orange, restaurants were allowed to invite their customers back in under a 25% capacity.
However, local restaurant owner, Joe Campana, sat on the sidelines, and decided to wait.
Campana owns eight different restaurants and bars in Colorado Springs.
Including The Rabbit Hole, Bonny and Read, Shame and Regret, and many more.
All of which have been closed since November. It has been a rollercoaster for us in the restaurant business as you can see not knowing what to do. It seems like the rules are changing every couple of weeks.

COLORADO SPRINGS â A popular program from the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region is back on the road in 2021.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Wellness Waggin , a mobile veterinary clinic, had to stop its services in March 2020. The Wellness Waggin is in Colorado Springs on Wednesdays and Thursdays while it is in Pueblo on Saturdays. We like to hit these desert areas where no vet clinics kinda are. And, then keeping these pets vaccinated and healthy helps lower them from coming into the humane society with medical complications, said Savannah Moore of the HSPPR.
