Birthdays are a big deal in our house and milestone birthdays are an even bigger deal. A birthday usually involves a weekend away, but since my husband, Ryan was turning 40 this month I asked whether he preferred a party. He informed me that he wanted a party, but “didn’t want to just meet up for beers with friends like we do all the time.” So I had to put
It’s time for another dinner theater review and this time I went back to Candlelight Dinner Playhouse in Johnstown, Colorado for “Oklahoma!” I’ve been going to theater since I was just a little girl, but I had never seen a production of this famous play until last week. Today, “Oklahoma!” is considered a wholesome family musical and is often performed at high schools and even middle schools, so it’s difficult

Two very different Christmas shows are now playing in Northern Colorado, and I have had the chance to see them. Read my reviews and decide which one is right for your family this season. The two musicals are strikingly different, and each has strong points, so you may decide to see both. “Scrooge! The Musical” While the entire cast is talented, Brian Burron, as Scrooge, is the heart of
The Kress is rolling out the red carpet for YOU! The Kress Cinema & Lounge is located in downtown Greeley, Colorado and it’s a HeidiTown favorite! This is a classy lounge with a well-appointed theater. They have live music in the bar area on the weekends and old and new movies nearly every night of the week. They also have a full lunch and dinner menu. It’s worth the trip
My husband and I finally had the opportunity to check out Carousel Dinner Theater thanks to a great deal they ran on Facebook. Carousel has been in Fort Collins, Colorado since 2002, and they recently moved to The Midtown Art Center at 3750 South Mason. The new location is classy and houses a foyer, bar area, a theater and a ballroom for conferences, parties and weddings. I never saw the
It’s no secret, the Mayor of HeidiTown is a fanatical fan of soccer. Seriously folks, I LOVE soccer. LOVE. And it’s been a great year for Colorado soccer fans… first the World Cup and now the Colorado Rapids have made it to the MLS final in Toronto. There are several watch parties in Denver, but there wasn’t an organized event in Northern Colorado, so I decided to put one together
This week on HeidiTown we are doing a Facebook giving away! You can win one ticket to Battle of the Burners in Fort Collins this Saturday evening (a $40 value).

Each chef will create a dish and the attendees will have a chance to taste each course and vote on their favorite. Haven’t you

Kerr-Schlaefer A couple weeks ago I walked into the Kress Cinema & Lounge in Greeley for the first time, and the first words out of my mouth were, “How did I not know about this place?” The truth is, despite being in business for several years, I’d never heard of the Kress until the Greeley Chamber of
Due to the overwhelming success of my post entitled “Where to watch World Cup in Northern Colorado,” I’ve decided to appease those cyclist fanatics out there – as it turns out, there are a lot of you. I can ride a bike, but I am not a “cyclist,” however, I do occasionally tune in to the grand daddy of all bike races to check on Lance and revel in the
