]]> The 5th Annual Fort Collins Music Experiment is rapidly approaching!  This city wide music festival is proudly presented to you by the Fort Collins Music Association spotlighting 20 venues and 200 bands.  Taking place this year on April 19-20, the committee for FoCoMX is trying something a little different this year by narrowing down the venues and bands to make the experience a little smaller and easier to see all the bands you want.  Featuring musicians such as, Fierce Bad Rabbit, Mama Lenny and the Remedy, otem relik, and Fifty to Phoenix, there’s sure to be something to soothe the soul of everyone in attendance.  If you can’t wait for an amazing weekend of music and friends, pre-sale tickets are on sale now through April 7 for $20 plus BONUS GOODIES! If you don’t get tickets by then, have no fear, you can still buy tickets at Rock ‘N’ Robin’s and various places during the event for $30.  For more information on FoCoMX, you can visit their website at www.focomx.focoma.org.  You don’t want to miss out on this incredible weekend! We’ll see you there!

]]> This year our guests had the best seat in town for the 4th of July parade! They were able to eat breakfast on the front porch and watch the parade at the same time where they were able to witness the trolley and Uncle Sam in action. The menu for the 4th of July was the Volcano Eggs with muffins, pastries, a fruit platter and a blueberry cobbler. The parade might be done but the festivities over at the Avery House are still going strong. There is live music and fun booths set up so bring your family for a fun 4th of July!

]]> A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN WALES
Adapted from the Short Story by Dylan Thomas

Directed by Bruce K Freestone

“. . . I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.”

Dylan Thomas’ classic story takes us on a lyrical journey back to the magic and marvel of boyhood where no two moments were ever alike and life was embraced with belief instead of doubt. The well-loved poet’s soaring language steers the story away from cliché and sets it in a world of tenderness and memory.

“I built a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down and then we had tea.”

“. . . a delectable Christmas treat.” –The Stage

]]> Head into Old Town and down to Pinball Jones for the chance to step back in time and have fun with a great collection of games. Pinball Jones has classic 80s games such as Elvira and The Adams Family not to mention some newer games such as the Simpsons, Family Guy and of course my personal favorite (possibly because I kept on winning) The Lord of the Rings. This blast from the past is located in the Basement Suite of 107 Linden Street. Their hours are Wednesday through Thursday 4pm till 10pm, Friday & Saturday 2pm till 11pm and Sunday 1pm till 8pm.

]]> New Belgium Brewing Company is a local brewing Company in Fort Collins, CO. They encourage helping out the environment by using your bike more and your car less.  This belief has led them to start the fun-filled Tour de Fat, a cycling festival that promotes taking your bike and ditching your car.

For the past 4 years, 1 participant at the festival has agreed to give up their car for the year and by doing so has received a brand new “New Belgium” bicycle. The Parade of Bikes starts at City Park at 10am, where you pass us by here at the Edwards House and make your way to New Belgium Company.  The best thing about the parade of bikes is that everyone is dressed up.  One year I was lucky enough to get my picture taken with the Care Bears!!!  I am hoping this time to hang with some Smurfs!

This year’s Tour de Fat festival will be is 13 cities including Denver, Chicago, Boise and Austin but nothing beats going to where it all originated in Fort Collins!!!  So come along, bring your bike and a great costume on September 3rd, 2011 and join in on one of the biggest cycling festivals around!  For more information on the parade route go to http://www.newbelgium.com/events/tour-de-fat.aspx. Hope to see you there!

]]> Come one, come all and head to the Long’s Peak Scottish Irish Highland Festival September 8th – 11th, 2011 in Estes Park. For over 30 years, this festival has been held in the majestic Estes Park, located right next to Rocky Mountain National Park.

The festival is rich with cultural traditions and family entertainment, such as Scottish games, a jousting tournament and all the smoked turkey legs you can eat!  Enjoy the tunes provided by a number of great bands such as Brother, Avrel Bird, Brigadoons and Loch Carron playing throughout the festival.  The dogs of the British Isle attempt to show off what man’s best-friend can really do with the help of the following events:  terrier races, high flying disks, herding and agility competitions. There will also be Highland and Irish dance competition where you can be entertained by performances of jigs, reels and hornpipe dances.

Tickets are $25 at the gate and $20 if you purchase ahead of time. We hope to see you come out for a fun weekend in the mountains.  For more information about the festival and schedule of events please visit http://scotfest.com/Scottish_Festival/Home.html.
