A "Kerr-ious" story
Hi all, we are Scott and Tracey Kerr and we would like to introduce ourselves to this Arkansas Valley community. Scott and I have lived full time back in La Junta since 2015. I am a native Coloradoan that grew up outside of Denver in Lakewood. I moved to Rocky Ford in 1986 to finish high school, then graduated from OJC and University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo. Scott was raised all over the US as an Air Force brat before joining the Air Force himself. Once Scott got out of the military he ended up in Nevada. Scott and I were coworkers in Laughlin Nevada where we dealt craps at the Flamingo and Harrah's. ** If you ever want to talk gambling we have some great stories and helpful hints** an example of this wisdom is ** the house always wins**. Anyway, during our time in Nevada we owned a Roller Skating rink and eventually moved into the medical world. We are Registered Respiratory Therapists by trade and have traveled all over this country working and seeing the sights. In 2015 we decided to stop our roaming and settle in La Junta, the place that has felt like home since the time hair bands were cool. We have a daughter that lives in LJ also along with 4 beautiful grandkids that we love dearly. Extended family dot the valley also.
We are dedicated to this community and to participating in the growth of the valley. We shop local, buy local produce and pride ourselves on fresh food not frozen meals. We want to be the place you come for great coffee, tea, snacks and lunch. Our atmosphere is clean and inviting to either cool down in the summer or warm up in the winter. After being a little bit of everywhere for the last 30 years, we are happy to be home in La Junta and beyond excited to be fortunate enough to have the Barista Co. here in town.
The Barsita Co. has been here since 2004 and we are excited to be part of it's future and the future for La Junta. Come in and say Hi, have a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream. We are excited to meet you.
