Have you ever gone tubing, soaking up the sun, enjoying the company of the people around you, and thought, "Man, I wish I could do this all the time!" If you answered yes, we're about to give you a really great excuse to get on the rivers in Uvalde County more often. Today on the Inn Between, we have Hailey Hart, the River Cleanup and Digital Marketing Manager of Uvalde County Visitor Center! 

 

Hailey is a community-driven individual who organizes river cleanups in Uvalde County, offering participants $15 an hour to clean the river while floating down it through the Uvalde County Visitor Center. The proceeds from these cleanups support various charities. The events attract people of all ages, providing budget-friendly activities for families and nature enthusiasts. Hailey's efforts go beyond monetary contributions, encouraging active engagement in environmental preservation.

 

The Uvalde County Visitors Center, with Hailey's involvement, hosts exciting events like star parties and activities for kids, captivating visitors from near and far. Painting river rocks has become a beloved tradition, fostering creativity and a connection with nature.

 

Her strong work ethic comes from growing up in her parents' business, where she learned the value of hard work and dedication. Hailey's commitment to excellence shines through in everything she does, from organizing cleanups to ensuring visitors have a memorable experience.

 

During summertime in her childhood, Hailey enjoyed  meeting people from different places, forming friendships that transcend geographical boundaries. Embracing friends from "outside the canyon" enriched her life, broadening her perspectives and fostering cultural exchange.
