Don't Forget! Fall Fun & Food Drive Event is Saturday 10/14/23

Don't forget about the event tomorrow! We've got all sorts of pie flavors from Me Oh My Pie in Laporte that we'll be serving, and we will have a "pumpkin patch", live music by Stephen Castle, and face painting. Also, don't forget to bring your food donations for the Food Bank of Larimer County! We’re so excited to see how big of an impact we can make together as a neighborhood!

When you arrive, please make sure to set your donations in the line on the sidewalk to see how far we catch stretch our donations around the Bucking Horse "oval" (our little spin on 'Cans around the Oval' that is at CSU each year).

Can't wait, see you there!

Fall Fun & Food Drive Event

Hey neighbors, it's officially fall! Let's celebrate the season together with our next event and fundraiser!

Pick a pumpkin from our "pumpkin patch," enjoy live music by Stephen Castle, get your kiddo's face painted, play some games, eat some pie from MeOhMy Coffee & Pie, and support a great cause - the Food Bank of Larimer County.

Our food drive goal is to see if we can stretch our donations all the way around the Bucking Horse "Oval". Bring canned and nonperishable foods to donate. When we come together as a community, we can really do something BIG to give back!

Here are some of their most needed items: peanut butter, canned meat/fish, canned fruit, whole grain low sugar cereal, whole grain pasta, brown rice, and macaroni & cheese.

Dovetail Park Opens September 29th!

Dovetail park is open today! Read below for more information from the City:

The Park Planning and Development Division of the City of Fort Collins Parks Department is excited to share that Dovetail Park will officially open for you and your families to enjoy on Friday, September 29. As soon as construction fencing has been removed, the community is invited to explore the park and enjoy all of the amenities it has to offer including a playground, shelter, areas for bocce ball, corn hole, ping pong, and a hammock garden. Unfortunately, there was a safety concern with the swing set so neighbors will notice swings are not currently installed. As soon as the manufacturer has supplied a safe repair solution the swings will be installed. Additionally, the community is asked to refrain from using the turf areas of the park to allow the grass to grow and become more established.

Save the date! On Monday, October 23 the City will host a formal ribbon cutting ceremony and celebration for the surrounding neighborhoods from 4:30-6 p.m.

National Neighborhood Night Out

As part of a nationwide program, neighbors across Fort Collins celebrate Neighborhood Night Out by getting outside and connect with their community by hosting different kinds of neighborhood parties.

This year, Bucking Horse is getting together and having a big BBQ, with a bounce house, yard games, and fun! Each year, members of City Council, Fort Collins Police Services, Poudre Fire Authority, and City Staff try to stop by each neighborhood party to connect with neighbors and promote community and safety in our city.

We will be grilling up hot dogs and brats and we will have potato salad, chips, and drinks also provided. Please feel free to bring a side dish to share if you wish! Also, please bring your own lawn chair.

As always, parents must supervise their children at the event and when using the bounce house.
