Spring in Northern Colorado

Spring is one of my favorite times to be in Northern Colorado. Everything starts to come back into bloom, rose gardens extend their lovely fragrances and fields of wildflowers take over-the site is truly inspiring.

The beautiful wilderness that cradles Northern Colorado real estate isn’t the only thing to awaken in the spring-our community calendar also gears up before hitting the full swing of summer entertainment.

Upcoming Local Northern Colorado Entertainment

These are a few of the upcoming events that should be great fun for everyone in the Northern Colorado area:

April 29th brings The Taste, a food and beverage tasting fundraiser that features over 25 area restaurants, wineries and breweries-and 100% of the proceeds goes to The Food Bank for Larimer County and Neighbor to Neighbor. What better reason is there to go out to eat or enjoy a date night? You can get tickets ranging fro $65-$95 at Hilton Fort Collins located at 425 W. Prospect Road.

For those with young families, the Kites in the Park Festival will be coming back May 1st, at the Spring Canyon Park located at 2626 W. Horsetooth Road. There will be kite flying competitions, giant octopus and fish kites, kite making stations and flying demonstrations from world-renowned fliers. Every year the kites make and impressive display-and children and adults alike seem to enjoy watching just as much as participating in the fling contests.

On May 8, 2010 The Wild Asparagus Ball will be held at the Lory Student Center Ballroom on the CSU campus-tickets will be $25-$25 dollars. Every year this ball is a huge hit, as it features an evening of waltzes, polkas, and 20th century ballroom dances with music by the 50 piece Mostly Strauss Orchestra. For those of you still wondering what to get mom for Mother’s Day (May 9th, by the way) tickets to this ball (and a reason to buy a new dress) always seems to be a huge hit.

The Lipizzaner Stallions will be coming to the Fort Collins and Loveland CO area on May 14 at the Budweiser Events Center at 5290 Arena Circle in Loveland for their 40th anniversary tour presented by the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Tickets range from $22.50 to $27.50 and it is for sure a show to not be missed.
