Fireworks, Parades, and Music; Fourth of July in Boulder Colorado
A lot of people are asking me my plans for July 4th weekend here in Boulder County and they are seeking suggestions for some outdoor fun. I’ve compiled this blog in order to education the masses on the not-to-miss events for this festive and time-honored holiday. Let’s begin with Folsom Stadium Fireworks as this is the most well known of tributes to the red, white, and blue. It begins when dark so be prepared to wait and keep the kiddos up late. You can view the spectacular lights from the stadium itself, or find yourself a spot around town. One popular gathering is Scott Carpenter Park. It’ll be packed, so get there early and set up a chair or blanket. The kids can climb around the playground and rocket ship while you wait. Bring your sparklers! Also included in prime locations for watching fireworks all over the county in one convenient spot – Chautauqua, Mt Sanitas, and Southern Sun Pub (I’m only kind of joking – it does have great views). There are so many Fourth of July events, your head will be seeing fireworks for months to come!

Boulder Summer Camps
School is ending for the 2009-2010 year and with that comes the need to find childcare for the summer. As a working mother in Boulder Colorado, I am always looking for a great summer camp or two around the county. And since real estate is really picking up, I will need plenty of full-time child care. Over the years, my children have attended YMCA, Science Discovery, and Avid4Adventure. These are all fulfilling camps providing not only supervision but stimulating activities as well. Did you know that YMCA camps have been voted the best day camps 4 years in a row!? Wow, you can’t beat that kind of award. It’s nice to feel reassured that while your child is away for the day; that they are learning, having fun, and being well taken care of. At the YMCA Day Camp, children can enjoy all sorts of adventure including archery, swimming, arts & crafts, field trips, and new friendships. A wide variety of programs are offered for children ages 5-17, with special programs designed just for teens. Want to hear about more camp opportunities? Read on. Read the rest of this entry »

No Phone Zone Pledge
The Troia Team is supporting the newest initiative instigated by Oprah Winfreyherself. NO TEXTING WHILE DRIVING! While it’s a nationwide promise, we are honoring it here in Boulder Colorado as real estate agents and concerned members of our city. It all began in a local community near our county, Fort Collins Colorado when earlier this year, Shelley and Daren Forney, lost their 9-year-old daughter. Erica, who was on her bicycle, just 15 pedals from her front door when she was hit and killed by a driver who was distracted by the cell phone. Erica’s death was senseless and stupid because it was caused by a phone call that just couldn’t wait. Just recently I was driving next to someone who had both hands on their phone and their elbows were on the steering wheel…….”steering”!!?!?!? I was scared to be on the road next to him. Read more about this important cause and help to prevent unnecessary deaths and accidents.

Upon intensive research and endless appointments with recruiting office managers, I went with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage and The Troia Team. Here’s why I did and why you should as well.
