When you think of Fort Collins what comes to mind? I bet I can guess what two of those things are for almost every person… Mountains and beer. The mountains have taken center stage with the High Park Fire burning them for almost two weeks. But the beer gets to shine this weekend. The 23rd annual Colorado Brewers’ Festival will be held at Civic Center Park on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 22-24.
June 21, 2012 The Sleigh Riders Motorcycle Toy Run have decided in light of the High Park Fire that the ride on June 30th will in fact move to the plan B route. Due to information we have received we have decided that the original plan for the 30th would not be in the best interest of everyone involved but rest assured, the ride will still be mostly in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
June 21, 2012 The High Park fire in Colorado is affecting many, many people. Including the spouses of the nearly 2,000 firefighters battling the blaze. I have an old friend-Cindy- her husband Mark is one of those fighting to bring the fire under control.
I sat down with Cindy to talk about being a firefighter's wife.
Come in and gain a little insight to what it's like!
