Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I was surrounded by Native American history. Therefore, it was sort of “old hat.” I knew a lot about Native Americans in the area because school presentations and museums were filled with this information, but I wasn’t innately interested.

It’s time for another installment of HeidiTown on the radio. As a reminder, these segments now run every other week on KRFC 88.9 FM In this show I reveal how even a Colorado travel expert can get lost on a road trip, and what fun events and festivals are in store this early August. Listen HERE..
Mayor’s Note: This is Part 2 of a three-part series on Winter Park in the Summer. Catch up on part one here. On day two of our girlfriend getaway to Winter Park we woke up slowly, made coffee and ate a little breakfast in our room.

With a population of 150 souls, Crestone, Colorado is more of a village than a town. In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, far from any metropolitan area, it really is a hidden gem.

I can hear you through the computer screen. “Copper Mountain isn’t a summer town!” But you are wrong, and I can prove it. Last year we spent a lovely weekend at Copper Mountain in August.

This festival is a fundraiser for the Pagosa Springs Chamber of Commerce, and the town’s 1700 residents have truly embraced this event. Last year more than 2400 people attended the Pagosa Renaissance & Pirate Festival in Town
The following featured festival has been brought to you by Mueller & Associates, CPA, LLC. Last year this event was called Assemble, but the name has been changed to The Sculpture Games. The new event proved popular and this year’s games have been extended to two days. What are The Sculpture Games? Think Junkyard Wars meets the Loveland arts scene. Loveland has long been a mecca for artists, especially sculptors.
Holiday weeks such as this one are notorious for low blog engagement, and that’s okay. I hope everyone is out enjoying the 4th of July and the extra, extra long weekend! The HeidiTown Gives Back post about National Dog Mill Rescue went up on Monday, so today I’m sharing my radio segment. My 5 minute show airs twice a month on KRFC 88.9 FM, public radio in Fort Collins, Colorado.
