The rock climbing center on the other side of the building had a diverse set of paths to take with to accommodate all levels of climbers. There is an easy segway between the two areas as well letting me jump to the other side when I was bored. The places were very family friendly and the staff were very supportive. Only slight problem was that when many people visit, the parking lot can fill up quickly and the areas dirty. So be wary of visiting on holidays.

A beautifully performing orchestra!…read more Dr. Howard Skinner conducted the music at my first visit to UCCC to hear the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. I had heard the same music before, many times, as it was one of my favorite compositions of all time. When I heard this music again, this time under the baton of Dr. Skinner, with the orchestra members performing more wonderfully than I could ever have imagined, I was enraptured. I purchased season tickets year after year and loved every performance. Dr. Skinner favored the classic composers - Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Wagner, and so on - at least that is what is clearest in my memory. What I heard from orchestra members was that Dr. Skinner had turned the orchestra from a fairly good one to an excellent one, and from an organization that had a little support to one that had tremendous support. I became one of those supporters, socially and organizationally as well as financially. Things change. With the retiring of Dr. Skinner from the orchestra came organizational, selection, and performance changes. There is much music in the world, and every genre (check Grove's or, if laz,y wikipedia, for examples of some of the countless genres) has its multitude of fans. So I know that Greeley is as happy with its orchestra today as it was with its orchestra of yesterday. With great respect for the excellence of both conductor and orchestra, I embolden myself to say that the choices of which compositions to perform leaves me wanting. We do not often travel for concerts or other musical performances. When we do, the classics remain my favorite. I avoid moderns even though there are some whom I find quite enjoyable. I likewise avoid performances that seem to be self-promotions or resume-packing. I truly love the Greeley Philharmonic for the joy it has given me, my family, and our friends. The auditorium is lovely albeit small. The stage is adequate, albeit small. The cost of admission for me is almost inconsequential, but more objectively I suppose it is "moderate". The quality of performance is high. The staff consist of both paid and volunteer workers, and I have found each and every one of them to be cheerful, welcome, and helpful when needed. The most difficult part of the performances is to listen to the sponsors give little speeches, and to realize that in some cases, a business or hospital which says it is "doing everything we can to keep costs low" is contributing thousands of dollars as their sponsorship - which means they are doing something they don't have to do, which will raise the cost of their services. Can't they see the incongruity of their words and their actions? I look forward to some future season in which all eyes and ears are on the illustrious, proven standard-bearers of western composition, whoever they are.

Pride In The Park is Fort Collins' own gay pride even which typically happens in early June. I…read morethink it is is in it's 3rd or 4th year now... something like that. There are all kinds of performers all over Colorado that come to support this LGBT event in Fort Collins which is good! Pride In The Park is not as blatantly flamboyant as Denver's gay pride(Pridefest) which is both good and bad. Usually since Pride In The Park is typically quieter and 'under the radar' so to speak it seems to not attract much for religious protesters. That is good. The bad is that it isn't blatantly flamboyant like it should be where you are really out and proud. There is no big gay pride parade that takes place with Pride In The Park. There are multiple venues though where certain events do take place like where LGBT films events are, drink specials, etc. These venues change every year so do keep that in mind... all except the main pride event always still seems to be in Civic Center Park in Oldtown Fort Collins. I shouldn't dis Pride In The Park really. It is a pride event that Fort Collins did not have before less that ten years ago... that is a good thing! There are many non profit agencies, companies and business that show up to offer helpful information and support to the LGBT community of Fort Collins at Civic Center Park during the typical duration of the event which is about the length of a weekend. Fort Collins is a relatively gay friendly town but of course like any town there are those who wish to oppress and usually makes their religion their excuse for doing it. I remember when the gay community center opened up in Fort Collins, the Lambda Center, some 'religious' group posted graphic pictures of homosexuals in sexual positions and below these pictures it asked, 'Do you want this in you neighborhood?' Um... FYI it probably was already happening in the neighborhood! Despite these putrid and unnecessary notices from the intolerant demographic of Fort Collins, the Lambda Center has persevered and still remains in existence I am very happy to say! While Fort Collin's gay community is relatively small and gets smaller once the college students leave for the summer it is good to have an event like Pride In The Park to affirm the LGBT community of Fort Collins. However bear in mind if you want the kind of pride celebration that you see in magazines like in The Advocate or Out, you best go to Denver to celebrate being a member of the LGBT community in it's most unapologetic tone by Colorado standards. It is not entirely unfounded that some people of the LGBT demographic here in Colorado call Fort Collins, Fort Closet.

It's an odd location for a history museum but that's only because modern society has grown up around the original site (and the South Platte River that used to run right next to it). A friend and I were led to Fort Vasquez while we were exploring the Eastern Plains of Colorado. Our focus on that particular day had been on ghost towns and pioneer cemeteries but then we decided to pay closer attention to those historical marker signs you sometimes see off the side of the road (you know the ones - they're white with a pine tree and an arrow pointing down the road a 1/2 mile or so). We followed a few of these signs and soon realized we were witnessing a story develop; the same names were popping up over and over again). Anyway, it turns out there are several different historical fort sites scattered about the Eastern Plains of Colorado dating back to the 1800s that are incredibly important to our history: Fort Vasquez, Fort St Vrain, Bent's Fort, and Fort Garland (just to name a few). Each site has its own unique story but what they have in common is that they contributed to the commercial development of the area, facilitated westward expansion, and fostered relationships between, cavalrymen, frontiersmen, homesteaders, miners, hired mountain men like Jim Beckworth and Baptiste Charbonneau, and the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Lakota people. I think you'll be surprised at what Fort Vasquez has to offer when you take a peek at their website.

Family friendly environment with fresh air and many things to look at. Volunteers are friendly and welcoming. Some of my favorites were going to the gun shop and seeing historic guns, going into different houses and seeing the gadgets and tools people used back then, and learning about the important people of Greeley.

They may manufacture other things but this is what they are best known for. Woodward always had fantastic lawns, flower gardens, water features and the like when you drive by. Definitely one of the best businesses in town to have such beautiful grounds! I am indeed envious! Woodward does not hold back during Christmas time either and if you go to the last entrance heading west on Drake you are in for a free treat of doing a drive through on a small portion of their grounds to view their Christmas display! When you drive through the Christmas diorama you are supposed to turn off your headlights, parking lights are ok. On the brief circled drive when you go through you will see various Christmas props like churches with music coming out of them, carolers, an elf workshop and so on. I have been going here almost on an annual basis when I drive around town once a year to look at Christmas lights. Over the years the scenario has changed very little, same displays and decorations which is ok. It is a winning combination! Probably the most recent change was that they converted all of their lights to LED. So anyone out there who likes to drive around and look at Christmas lights once a year this is a fine stop to make! Woodward also has a location in Loveland as well. I am not too sure if they do a Christmas display there but what I do know is that their grounds are definitely not as beautiful as their Fort Collins location.
