What it’s like
The place. Kersey is a small town in Weld County, Colorado, with a population that makes for a close-knit place where people tend to know one another. Winters are cold and snowy, with December the coldest month, while summers turn hot by July. Rain and melted snow are modest through the year, which fits the dry, open feel of the plains. Homes here are valued well above what many would expect for a town this small.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, manufacturing and shops. Across Weld County, some of the largest workplaces are JBS Greeley Fed Beef, Vestas Blades America and North Colorado Medical Center. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a long one. Unemployment across the county is higher than a year ago, though the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. In or beside town, Lone Tree Creek is a stream to walk along, and the Jurgens Site is an archaeological site. A short drive away are the Big Thompson River and Central Plains, a protected area of open grassland. For a longer outing, the Vintage Aero Flying Museum is a longer drive away.
