Well dear readers, here we are again at the end of one year and balancing on the precipice of a new one. I hope that you take some time to look back at all the events and activities you did in 2022 and look to participating in some new things in 2023.
There are lots of opportunities in northern Colorado to raise a glass with friends to round out the last day of the year as well as fun events like the action of arenacross in Loveland, an informative art walk in Fort Collins and educational online programs to welcome in the first week of 2023.
Take a peek at these 22 events set for the week of Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022 through Friday, Jan. 6, 2023.
From all the staff at the Greeley Tribune, cheers to 2023 and the adventures and growth it will bring!
