Hotel Filling Up For Big Event

ALBERT LEA, Minn -- While the City of Albert Lea will be coated with red starting tomorrow, hotels in the area will be seeing a lot of green.

With the 22nd National Red Power Round Up starting tomorrow, people have begun to arrive in Albert Lea.

Organizers are expecting around or over twenty-thousand people to be in town this weekend.

With all the extra people in town, it has left hotel rooms at a premium.

“We've been sold out since February on this day,” Albert Lea Comfort Inn General Manager Karen Davis said. “It's going to bring in; I would say around twenty-thousand people to the community. Were hoping the restaurants are ready and full staffed."

Davis says that although rooms are filled up, it will be frustrating to turn people away because they are full.
