HeidiTown on the radio - A Colorado Cinco de Mayo

It’s time for another segment of HeidiTown on KRFC 88.9 FM.  I’m physically exhausted, having just spent four crazy-fun days in Durango, Colorado. I can’t wait to write about this trip and share all the lovely photos I captured while in the area. In the meantime, this week’s radio show covers Cinco de Mayo and Mother’s Day. Yes, Mother’s Day is just two weeks away, folks! So without further ado,

Featured Festival: Front Range Rally, beer & food truck fest in Loveland

A new beer festival rolls into Northern Colorado this May, and the unique feature at this event will be food trucks. The brainchild of the guys at Grimm Brothers Brewhouse and my favorite beer blogger, Dave of Fermentedly Challenged, Front Range Rally is about all about drinking good beer and eating good food for a good cause. More than 30 craft breweries are participating in the festival, along with 15

Ouray, Colorado by Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer for HeidiTown.com

Do you seek out adventure? Or would you rather soak in hot springs all day? Does rappelling into a waterfall sound exhilarating? Or would you rather sit on a sun-soaked, rooftop patio drinking a beer? You can do all of these things and more in Ouray, Colorado. Ryan and I visited Ouray in March and we fell in love with the town. I hadn’t been to Ouray since my parents

It’s time for another segment of HeidiTown on the radio. Every other week my show airs on KRFC 88.9 FM in Fort Collins, Colorado. I’ve been trying not to overwhelm radio listeners with names and dates, because HeidiTown is not a calendar of events, however there’s so much good stuff happening this month, this segment is a little festival-heavy so listen closely. There’s lots of music coming up this weekend

Gov Art Show Invitation

I have always surrounded myself with artists; my mother is an artist, many of my friends are artists and I even married an artist. That’s why I think the Governor’s Invitational Art Show & Sale is so important. It brings renowned artists from around Colorado under one roof in one of the state’s most artistic towns. This is the 22nd year of the prestigious show that runs April 28-June 2

Belgian Horse at Timberlane Farm Museum HeidiTown

Collections at museums often represent snapshots from different places and different people. To find a collection of historical artifacts from one family is rare. To find them at the farm where the family lived for more than 100 years is even rarer. This is what makes Timberlane Farm Museum in Loveland, Colorado so special. The farm has been in the same family since 1860, when Judge W.B. Osborn and his

Go on an adventure - HeidiTown

This week’s a little screwy, but that’s okay. Radio is not an exact science and neither is blogging. This post usually goes up on a Monday, but this week it’s being posted on a Friday, but that’s okay too because most of what I talk about in this segment are festivals in mid-April. As you know, my radio segments on KRFC 88.9 FM are now recorded and aired every other

Frog Prince in Downtown Grand Junction. HeidiTown.com

As you know, Ryan and I did a lot of traveling this winter and every trip has a special place in our hearts. Grand Junction, however, has a special place in our stomachs. If you are a fan of eating and drinking, you’ll want to get out a pen and paper and take notes on this post. We’d driven by Grand Junction and Palisade a number of times over the
