Tony n' Tina tie the knot at MidTown Arts Center in Fort Collins, Colorado - an interactive theater review

As the summer festival season slows and we get closer to the holidays, you’ll start seeing new theater reviews here at HeidiTown.com. I truly believe theater – especially dinner theater – is an event and while theater is available year round in Colorado, I start getting back into the scene during the fall and winter. Last week I was a guest at Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding, held at the Midtown

Fall Harvest Brewfest 2011 logo

I am dog person. I can’t imagine coming home to a house without having an excited canine there to greet me.   While some people ooh and aww over babies, I’m the person who will get overly excited about a new puppy or newly adopted dog. Let’s face it, dogs are awesome and many of us couldn’t live without ours. That being said, this week’s give away is a pair

Ryan at Colorado Brewers' Festival 2010

I’ve been writing and attending festivals in Colorado for long enough to inform you with authority that we Coloradoans celebrate beer very, very well. I don’t try to keep up with all of the beer festivals around the state – it would be nearly impossible. There are events that feature chili beers, microbrews, home brews, and there are small fests and large fests and then there’s the grand daddy of

Where to find free live music in Northern Colorado

One of my favorite summer activities is listening to live music while laying in the green grass and watching the clouds roll by.

This way, you can fill up your summer calendar with lots of fun and not miss any of it! I won’t always get ahead of stuff… sometimes

Fort Collins Music Experiment

Music played a very significant role during my formative years. I come from a musical family; we have singers, guitarists, pianist, songwriters and composers. One of my fondest memories is falling asleep night after night to the sound of my dad softly playing his guitar in the living room. I still play a little piano on occasion, but I can no longer read sheet music. I never have the opportunity
