Made a trip to the mighty Ft. Collins on Saturday with our friends the Jones, to attend the annual gala and fundraiser for Childsafe, a Northern Colorado organization that supports victims of child sexual abuse. It was a beautiful evening on the CSU campus, which was made more exciting with Jason almost winning the live auction Mexico trip. Thanks for the invite, friends!
It is most certainly event season in Colorado. Golf tournaments, Blues Jam, ribbon cuttings, an event at an airport and an Arts Fair. Try and remember next year if we participate in the Arts Fair, to ask NOT to be right next to the band. WAY TOO LOUD.
Made it to Red Rocks a little later than I would have liked. And it was packed. In fact, the lower lot we usually park at and tailgate at, was already closed. We ended up in the far lower lot, a loooooooonnnnnggg way from the entrance. After tailgating for a bit, the decision was made to take a taxi to the top ($50). Finally made it to our seats in row 27 and started the party. Was great to have Franti walk right by during the show!
Got back from Breck just in time to drive back to Erie for a ribbon cutting with their Chamber, followed by a BBQ by the Erie Rotary Club to thank ALLO for their contributions to the city beautification project. Friday was an early start for the Brighton Chamber Golf Tournament. Thankfully it warmed up and the sun came out. Rushed home to change clothes and head to….Red Rocks…
Made my first trip to Breckenridge in 2024 to scout things out and reconnect with some community leaders. It was just beautiful. Since its “mud season,” things weren’t too crowded, and Tom Ginn and I got plenty of face time with the people we needed to see. It was also nice to take a few early morning walks, as well as explore the rooftops on several developments. Food and drinks weren’t terrible either!
