On Tuesday, Cañon City received news that it was one of six finalists to be featured on the show. If selected, the city would host “celebrity experts,” who would come help improve struggling small businesses.
Other finalists include towns in Oklahoma, Washington, Texas, North Carolina and Arkansas. No matter what happens with the competition, Joel will be coming to Denver in August, where he will make his first ever live appearance at Coors Field.
