Meet Craig Turner, a passionate advocate for Cloudcroft and an experienced candidate running for mayor!
Craig's love for our enchanting village began 30 years ago when he first visited with his wife, Phyllis, who has a long-standing connection to Cloudcroft, having lived and gone to school here 50 years ago.
