The population of year-round residents in Red River is less than 500 people. Still, there are dozens of hard-working folks who make it a point to do their best to see that visitors like you and your family have a great time in the high country with wonderful memories.
Sarah Dorrance is one of those people. She is the Marketing Coordinator at the Red River Ski Area – RRSA – and her duties include being in charge of social media marketing (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), setting up radio trade advertising and doing anything that needs to be done.
Like most Red Riverites, she wears many “hats” – photographer, copy writer, creator of digital files – and you’ve probably seen her work. She also “makes sure all events go smoothly, I promote them.”
Originally from Darien, Connecticut, Sarah studied photography at Colby Sawyer college in New London NH, a town she says is very similar to Red River. She moved to town in 2007. “I guess I know what I like.”
Her parents actually met in Red River in the 1970s. Her mom was from Georgia and her dad from Connecticut. Both taught skiing at RRSA and both worked at Texas Reds Steakhouse. Red River is more than just a town for Sarah.
“Upon graduating from college I had no idea what to do with myself. My dad was good friends with Drew Judycki. He called and said ‘Hey, Sara wants to come teach skiing.’ So that’s what I did!”
When she moved to town she also began her free-lance photog biz S.C. Parrish Photography now in its eighth year.
“I’m an on-location photog, no studio, I like to utilize natural light whenever possible, and I like candid moments. I don’t like set-up posy-posy things. I like natural interactions between people.”
