Post Updated: September 14, 2017 It seems that every Colorado travel writer has authored an article about scenic fall drives around our beautiful state. I’ve decided to do the same, but with a twist. With gas prices going back up (again), it’s hard to justify driving miles and miles simply to take photographs of aspen trees, however, I’m going to share with you three scenic autumn drives around Colorado that
It’s time for another segment of the Mayor on the KRFC 88.9 FM, Fort Collins public radio. This week I talk about some upcoming events in Northern Colorado and do a little HeidiTown housekeeping.

Now that the kids are going back to school it feels like summer is officially coming to an end, but we still have nearly a month of summer left. The first day of fall is September 22, 2012. Here are three things you might want to do before summer is over. Chautauqua Summer Concert Series – Through September 21, in Boulder, Colorado This is the 114th season of this concert
It’s time for another radio segment on KRFC 88.9 FM. I’ve been on KRFC for over a year and that’s more than 52 weeks worth of festival information that has gone out to listeners.

So I opted to write a top 5 list and share the reasons I love Colorado – this blog post nearly wrote itself. Please feel free to comment & let me know why YOU
Summer is quickly coming to a close and you may be thinking about one last trip to the Colorado mountains before the kids head back to school. This week’s radio segment on KRFC 88.9 FM, Fort Collins public radio, highlights some of the late summer music festivals happening across the Rocky Mountains. From soul music in Vail to jazz in Copper, the hills are alive with the sound of music.
Colorado is now home to the most challenging cycling race in the United States, the US Pro Cycling Challenge.

Greeley never ceases to surprise me. It’s an unassuming city, better known for beef than almost anything else, but then there’s the music. From the city’s inception, it has embraced music. The last time I visited the Greeley History Museum, I learned that the city is home to one of the nation’s longest running orchestras. The University of Northern Colorado is also well-known for an outstanding School of Music, so
Last week, I previewed Bohemian Nights at NewWestFest on the blog and this week I’m also talking about it on my segment on KRFC 88.9 FM. As one of the largest, FREE, music festivals in Colorado, it deserves an entire radio segment dedicated to the event. Listen HERE.
My parents met while singing in a traveling church band in the 70s, and on many childhood nights I fell asleep listening to my dad strumming his guitar downstairs. My mom, who is an accomplished pianist, laughingly used to accuse my dad of hugging his guitar more than her. Obviously, I was born into a musical family, and I have an honest appreciation of musicians and live music. Unfortunately, I
