Here’s a little secret about the Mayor of HeidiTown – I love magic. If you are a magician or a comedian I’m the gal you want in your audience. I simply love the feeling of being astounded. Maybe it’s because some days it feels like there just isn’t enough enchantment left in the world. Maybe it’s because I’m a kid at heart. Whatever the reason, I am super excited
It’s time for another HeidiTown segment on KRFC 88.9 FM, Fort Collins public radio. On this segment I share with the radio audience the last two recipients of the HeidiTown Gives Back Campaign.

LISTEN HERE In other news, I have awesome Twitter followers, and thought I’d share
New England may be renowned for their beautiful fall foliage, but Colorado boasts some rather incredible scenery during the autumn months. In fact, I think our fall color palette rivals many of the other areas of the country. On Friday, September 20, we’re driving to Leadville for a short stay in this unique Colorado town. The last time we visited was a number of years ago. It was early October
Last month I attended All Arts Festival in Steamboat Springs, and I was unaware of the culinary adventure that awaited me. In its 5th year, this art fest continues to gain popularity. It features all sorts of art, including culinary, which is the subject of this delicious post. In fact, food became the highlight of the weekend, and I don’t think I’ve eaten so well and so healthily on a
After a bit of a long break – August had five weeks – I’m back on air at KRFC 88.9 FM. If you are new to HeidiTown, and I know several of you have just moved to town, I have had a segment on KRFC, Fort Collins Public Radio since August 2011. Currently, the segments air every other week on Wednesdays prior to The Bikes & Beer Show (see their
Last week, in my duties as a writer at a small town newspaper, I covered the Community Service Awards. This special luncheon is held yearly by Group Publishing, a company in Loveland, Colorado. During this two-hour event, Group awards thousands of dollars to deserving charities in Northern Colorado. As providence would have it, I sat by two young ladies from the GECCCO Girl Scout Troop. They had written and submitted
PLEASE NOTE, COLORADO FLOODING HAS LED TO SOME CHANGES AT THE LOVELAND OKTOBERFEST: The festival will be moving from Foote Lagoon in downtown Loveland to the parking lot in front of Grimm Brothers Brewhouse & Tap Room, located at 623 Denver Ave. Loveland, Colorado 80537. In addition, the event will now be held on Saturday, Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. only. This year marks the first official
There’s little doubt that one of the joys of traveling is dining and drinking along the way. Pagosa Springs, Colorado has its fair share of boutique eateries and brew pubs, and we ate our way through several while we were in town last month. Breakfast in Pagosa Springs Going out to breakfast has been “our thing” since Ryan and I first got together 13+ years ago, and our first goal
The following featured festival has been brought to you by Cloudknocker.com. Oktoberfest season is nearly here, so let’s all raise our steins in a big happy PROST! Over the next couple months, these German fests will take place all over Colorado. A few are authentic, and many are not, but they are all a good reason to party and drink good beer. Despite its location in O’Brien Park (which sounds
When you road trip as much as Ryan and I have been this summer, it’s a good idea to download some great books. After all, about 15 minutes into summer road trip number two, you’ve ran out of stuff to talk about with your significant other. I thought I’d share what we’ve been listening to on the road around Colorado. We use the Audible app for Droid (and this is
