I typically think of October as the height of spooky season, but when researching events this month, I found that many of our favorites actually kick off in September.

Let's get one thing straight: in Fort Collins, you cannot walk more than a block without tripping over some form of creativity. This town has entire city programs and nonprofits dedicated to making sure a stroll to get coffee turns into an accidental gallery tour. Alleyways moonlight as galleries. Utility boxes wear costumes.

You support the farmer, the farmer feeds your family, and your food dollars stay right here in Northern Colorado. It's a win all around
