June 12th and 13th - Broke like Bob Cratchit? Well you can still have a blast with the kiddos getting a sneak peak of Disney's Christmas Carol when their Train Tour rolls into town and sets up camp for two days at Union Station. Check out the train and tent, lots of free activities to get you pumped for the movie (which should make those next 6 months of waiting just AWESOME)...
June 13th and 14th - Thanks lovely Pixy_stix for this Hot Tip - it is time for the Taste of Ft. Collins - any "taste of" event is guaranteed to be a fabulous people-watching opportunity, and if you are so inclined (and funded) to sample some of the culinary delights, the proceeds go to Special Olympics programs in Larimer County, and the Kiwanis Club!

June 13th - (after celebrating the births of my twin sis and me, natch) Head on over to Skyline Park (now that they have reinvented it from the concrete funk-hole it once was) for their free outdoor movie series this summer - kicking off this weekend with Babe (ok, not one of my faves, but Willie Wonka and The Wizard of Oz are both on the list later in the summer!) Check the full list and get the details here.

June 13th - National Get Outdoors Day (the irony of this being on my birthday is almost too much to comprehend). Denver will be hosting an event in City Park with lots of free activities for all ages, encouraging all Denverites to GET OUTDOORS and get moving.. Get the specifics here
