Planning to travel this Valentine’s Day, or want to surprise your love with a romantic winter trip? If so, then this is the post for you. Colorado has no shortage of romantic destinations, in fact, nearly every town is a special place if you experience it with your one true love, however, I have a few recommendations of towns that are sure to turn up the romance in your relationship.

Steamboat Winter Carnival HeidiTown

I’ve recorded nearly 150 radio shows at KRFC 88.9 FM since August 2011, and that boggles my mind. I’ve literally shared 100s of festivals and lots of my own personal anecdotes. It’s really fun having this additional outlet for sharing the joys of HeidiTown, and I appreciate Brian Hughes and the rest of the KRFC staff for letting me have a segment. Also, I’d like to thank my producers, Dianne

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

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

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

Deciding on the top ten highlights from this past year was really, really difficult. We’ve put some serious mileage on our car over the last 12 months and we’ve done some pretty amazing things. We attend the  125th anniversary of Glenwood Hot Springs, we received a personal tour of the Leadville graveyard, one of the oldest in Colorado, we finally visited  Coors Brewing in Golden, we soaked in all three
