Longtime readers know that I like birds. They fascinate me. Even geese. In fact, I believe geese will inherit the earth. Long after humans have ceased to exist for whatever reason, geese will still be flying, honking and pooping all over everything. They are a very adaptable animal. When I was asked if I’d be interested in seeing “Wing Over Water” at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, I
The Outlets at Loveland are getting into the holiday spirit and encourage you to get in the spirit too. Loveland is just 45 miles north of Denver and 45 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Outlets at Loveland are a mere minute or two from Interstate 25 and boast big names like Carter, Levi’s and The Workwear Store. There are three ways to Share the Love with the Outlets of
If you’ve been around HeidiTown for more than a couple years, you’ll remember that I used to write movie reviews here, and I’m a bit of a film buff. I absolutely LOVE the Oscars. I am one of “those people,” and I start watching as soon as the red carpet is rolled out and the limos start arriving. Last year, I ran a similar contest here, and the winners documented
It’s time to give away more tickets to Battle of the Haunted Houses. This haunted experience is located inside the Foothills Mall in Fort Collins, Colorado. Destination Terror is an elaborate haunt with monsters lurking in every corner. The Nightmare Experience is a haunted house where there really IS a monster under the bed. Your ticket to the Battle of the Haunted Houses gets you into both Destination Terror and
While I’m a wimp, I know a lot of you love being scared witless, so this giveaway is for you. You’ll actually have two chances to win, because I’m going to run this same contest next week. Just tell me you’d like your name entered into the drawing in the comment section and I’ll randomly pick a winner on Friday around noon. This winner will receive 4 tickets (a $68
Here in Colorado, certain things just go together – bikes and beer, hikes and beer, climbing and beer, rafting and beer, skiing and beer, snowboarding and beer, sledding and beer, and dogs and beer. This might explain why the Great American Beer Festival, grand-daddy of all beer festivals, is held yearly in Denver. The GABF starts this Thursday and runs through Saturday, October 1. In honor of this enormous beer
Summer is quickly coming to a close… were you able to make the most of it? I certainly hope so. Here’s another chance to enjoy the last moments of summer with some delicious wine, food and music. It’s the 4th Annual WineDown the Summer at Chapungu Sculpture Park in Loveland, Colorado. This sculpture park is an oasis just east of the Promenade Shops at Centerra, and the perfect place to
There is nothing HeidiTown residents (and tourists) like more than free beer and it’s time, once again, to give some away. The 3rd Annual Gnarly Barley Brew Festival is Saturday, August 6 at the Larimer County Fair at The Ranch in Loveland Colorado. This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever with 24 breweries attending. Food and beer pairings will be available again this year presented by Beer
This year, Summerfest in the Rockies will kick off on July 8, 2011 with Spirits at Sunset. This is a twist on their usual wine tasting event. With a unique new distillery now open in Loveland, as well as a new brewery, the organizers thought it would be fun to highlight these two small businesses. The evening will be an interactive beer and spirits tasting with drinks provided by Dancing
Father’s Day is less than two weeks away, so I thought it was the perfect time for this giveaway. Fly-fishing is a popular Colorado pastime, and for good reason. The Colorado Rockies provide some of the most pristine rivers in the world, and some of the best are in Rocky Mountain National Park. Coloradoan Steve Schweitzer started hiking and fishing RMNP eleven years ago. He kept meticulous notes about his
