Events

 Every event can turn into a campaign event if you wear your candidate name tag, hand out fundraising envelopes and shake enough babies. Attend a few ribbon cuttings, a United Way cornerstone partners tour of Distortions Unlimited, a Greeley Chamber Business After Hours, and entered a green chili at the first ever LULAC chili cook-off. And thanks for the shout-out from some campaign supporters!

Trevor Hall- Boulder

 We interrupt the campaign to squeeze in a little bit of fun with our crew. We gathered the gang and headed to Boulder for an intimate night with Trevor Hall at the Boulder Theater. We pre-gamed at a few spots in Boulder before settling in for the show. Was good to be among friends, and out of Greeley if only for a few hours. 

The Candidate- Walk

But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane,
In proving foresight may be vain;
The best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men
Gang aft agley,
An’lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

The campaign had a great idea: select important and recognizable areas around Greeley, hide a geo-cache items, and walk through all four Wards on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We would be joined by supports, wave signs and visit with folks. The loop would equal a half-marathon. 

The reality was 45MPH winds, bitter cold, and only a few supporters. We decided to drive the route and snap pictures at each stop. Hence, the poem. But joy is coming!

 Got another quarter-century kiddo over the weekend. We were thrilled to host the birthday party and Scrabble tournament. Andrew requested a gourmet hotdog bar. We even had a baby show up with her parents (geese, our friend’s kids are having babies). We love you, Little D. Never lose your love of life, your infectious laugh, and your joy of serving others. 

The Candidate- 15 Days

 Ballots have dropped. Community members are voting. Polls close on Tuesday, November 4th at 7PM. The Candidate continues to move forward boldly, with confidence of a front-runner. Stopped at the Fire Department open house to shake some babies and kiss some hands. The damn wind this fall has made me wish we bought more sandbags. Received the endorsement from the Weld County GOP. Had some mailers drop in to mailboxes.
