Dear Community Residents,

The past few months have been difficult for all of us both professionally and personally.  The rate of change we are all feeling in our daily lives throughout this COVID-19 crisis is like nothing any of us has felt before.  Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by the outbreak.  We know how important it is to stay connected to each other as we navigate and plan toward a successful future which brought us to this outreach. 

We believe it is our role and responsibility during this time to prioritize two things: the health and well-being of our many volunteers, sponsors, visitors and community while also playing a role in supporting local health officials to contain the spread of the virus.  To that end we have made the difficult decision to suspend our largest sponsorship and fundraising event, the 36th annual Historic Homes Tour and replace it with "Street Stories" -  a self-guided tour of historic locations in and around Old Town Fort Collins. 

This is a free “unchaperoned” event which can be done at your own pace and with whomever is in your social circle. This activity is not only fun for all ages, but you'll learn about the history, architecture, and some crazy facts/stories about properties you pass everyday.  To make it more of an adventure, we've also included a scavenger hunt-- the grand prize winner will receive a party for 25 hosted at the Avery House (post Covid 19, of course.)

In mid to late September we'll have booklets available for pick-up (or to be mailed at your request) at various locations, as well as an on-line version. To be eligible to to enter the scavenger hunt grand prize drawing, all answers will need to be received by December 31st.
