Anything Goes at Candlelight 1

You don’t have to travel to New York City’s Broadway to see this Tony Award winning musical because it’s now playing at the Candlelight in Johnstown, Colorado. You know it’s got to be a great musical when it’s still being produced 78-years after it was written, and Cole Porter’s “Anything Goes” is just that. We started our evening by ordering the baked Brie. Served with a side of chutney, almonds

New Flash: HeidiTown.com gives back

As a freelance writer, I’ve had the opportunity to write about a lot of great nonprofits, like the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program, Denkai Animal Sanctuary, Longhopes Donkey Shelter and Guide Dogs for the Blind, just to name a few.
