My husband and I attended this event last year and ate ourselves silly – it was so much fun! This event has not been well advertised. In fact, I’ve been watching their website for date information and it was only recently updated with the date of the event which is next Thursday, April 7, 2011. The Taste of Loveland is held at Embassy Suites and features multiple restaurants from around
With festival season heading into full swing in just a couple weeks, I thought I’d share a few things with my readers. First, I want to remind everyone that HeidiTown is not a calendar of events. I do not, nor will I ever be able to keep track of every festival that occurs in Colorado. And quite frankly, I don’t want to. Also, I rarely write about fundraising events. I
Spring has sprung in HeidiTown. The birds are singing, the fields outside of town are greening up and there’s a feeling of warmth in the air. This time of year puts me in the mood for road trips and Sunday afternoon drives. Metromix Denver recently released an article naming the 25 small Colorado towns to visit under $100. There was some misinformation in this article – Windsor was not “destroyed”
If you hang out in HeidiTown then you’ve probably learned a few things about the Mayor. First, you are likely aware, especially after last week, that I am a redhead who is crazy about St. Patrick’s Day. You know that I am partial to beer, wine and the occasional whiskey (or scotch). What you may or may not know is that I’m a fanatical fan of soccer. When I wrote
St. Patrick’s Day seemed the appropriate time to post my article about the Rocky Mountain Irish Festival. As you know, the Mayor likes all things Irish and she likes Irish festivals most of all. And as you can see by the adjacent photo, Leprechauns like me. By the way, being kissed by a Leprechaun gives you good luck for life, so obviously I am good to go! I attended the
March Madness is upon us, and I have no doubt people across the country have been furiously filling out their office brackets by either using an educated method or by using my method – going with my gut. Basketball is a lot of fun to watch in person, but I’ve never been a huge fan of the sport. Nevertheless, every March I faithfully fill out my bracket, always picking Gonzaga
This is a holiday rooted in Christianity, but today it’s better known for green beer and corn beef and cabbage. March 17 is the anniversary of St. Patrick’s death in the fifth century and the Irish have celebrated this date for over a thousand years. While Irish Catholics observe the holiday by attending church, Americans observe this holiday by going to the pub. As you already know, the Mayor is
St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays. I’m not exactly sure why. Despite having Irish roots my family never celebrated St. Pat’s and we aren’t even Catholic. Maybe it has something to do with being a redhead. I’ve always felt as though it’s a holiday dedicated to those of the ginger persuasion. Maybe it has something to do with my love of Irish music, Irish whiskey, and nearly
March is here and that means Spring Break. Several people have asked what the Mayor recommends doing with the kiddos over the break. If you don’t have the resources to spend the break in Mexico or Disneyland, here are a few things that will be great excursions with the kids. Visit the Zoo Coloradoans are lucky to have two outstanding zoos in our state. When we lived in the Denver
It’s been a long week here in HeidiTown, so I’m going to recycle this old movie post because St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, and I did promise a little green this month. Next week I’ll get back to the event and festival post. In the meantime, pour yourself a nip of whiskey and enjoy! “The Commitments” (1991) – This is one I’ve seen multiple times. If it’s
