HeidiTown was established in 2007 but began to grow steadily in 2010. Today, the town enjoys an engaged citizenry who have come to recognize HeidiTown as a source for entertaining festival and travel stories.
My name is Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer, and I’m the Mayor of HeidiTown. I am also a freelance writer and western destinations blogger at Mountain Living magazine’s The Heidi Guide. In addition, I co-own a furniture design and manufacturing company with my husband, Ryan Schlaefer.
For the past decade, I have been traveling Colorado from corner to corner. I’ve covered big fêtes such as Winter Carnival in Steamboat Springs and I’ve covered niche events like High Plains Snow Goose Festival in Lamar. I’ve covered brand new beer festivals such as San Juan Brewfest in Durango and small soirees like the Glenn Miller Swingfest in Fort Morgan.
On March 10, 2017, HeidiTown annexed Arizona, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming.
The expansion of HeidiTown means that town citizens will be exposed to fresh content. It’s also a chance for the population of HeidiTown to grow as I introduce new folks in additional states to this fun little town.
This development is a win/win. Festival will benefit from HeidiTown coverage and towns where these events take place will benefit from my write-ups about my visits.
