Monty Python has always been part of my life, and not just the famous Holy Grail movie. My dad was a true fan, and loved “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” the television show that aired from 1969-1974. Of course, we watched the shows on videos that we rented from the library during the 80s. After seeing them as an adult, I am surprised that my parents, who wouldn’t let us watch

Grand Lake Trip December 2013 HeidiTown.com 23

I have had a long time fascination with ice fishing – a 13 ½ year fascination, to be exact. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest where lakes never freeze over, so the entire concept of ice fishing was foreign to me until I moved to Colorado more than a decade ago. When I was offered the chance to go ice fishing on Grand Lake this winter, I jumped at

Winter is full swing and that doesn’t mean things slow down around HeidiTown. Festivals are scheduled year-round here in Colorado – lucky us! This means, thankfully, I never run out of stuff to share on my radio segment on KRFC 88.9 FM. In this week’s segment I share some upcoming Colorado winter festivals like the Cowboy Downhill in Steamboat Springs, a HamFest in Loveland and much more. I also share

A fellow travel blogger once called me “a tweeting fool,” and she’s right. I love Twitter, and when I’m on a trip I tweet regularly. My twitter account is not hooked up to HeidiTown’s Facebook page, but it is hooked up to Instagram, Foursquare and Pinterest, so whenever I post a pic or check-in somewhere, a tweet informs my followers of my whereabouts. I decided that it would be fun

rough legged hawk at Fossil Creek Reservoir Colorado HeidiTown.com

Wild Wings flew across my radar when I asked for a bird identification on Twitter. I’d been out birding at Fossil Creek Reservoir in Northern Colorado where approximately 18 bald eagles were roosting, but they were so far away I didn’t get any good shots. I did spot this bird, and had no idea what type of raptor it was: A friend tweeted one of her Twitter friends who happens

Yep, it’s that time of year again, Ullr Festival is almost here. This crazy event takes place for an entire week (January 5-11, 2014). We attended for the first time last year, when I was asked to be a judge of the Ullr Festival Parade. I’m judging again this year and I can’t wait. Ryan and I loved every minute of Ullr Festival and we made friends everywhere we went

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR: Readers often say to me, “You’re so lucky!” and I agree. Being the Mayor of HeidiTown is a pretty awesome gig. However, everything I do here, you can do too. I don’t fly off to Paris or South Africa or Australia. I get in my car and drive. My goal is to introduce my readers to great festivals and destinations around Colorado. I am lucky, but
