Springs-area farmers markets will be starting up very soon, and I updated the list of markets for this year – check it out! Most markets begin at the end of May or in early June, though the Old Colorado City market will not begin until July. There’s also a new market in Black Forest.
Events & Entertainment
Free Admission to Rock Ledge Ranch, Olympic Training Center, and More with New Library Pass
The Pikes Peak Library District is now offering a Culture Pass, which you can book online and gain free admission to local attractions like the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Rock Ledge Ranch historic site, Space Foundation Discovery Center, the US Olympic and Paralympic Training Center, and more! You can see all of the official information here.
It looks like you must choose the specific date that you want to attend, and each location has different restrictions on the number of people who can be admitted with a pass.

Got a Mountain Biker in Your Life?
If you or someone you know is into mountain biking, you should know that a world-class mountain bike race is coming to Colorado Springs in September 2020, and we at Circa Real Estate Group are super excited to be a founding sponsor of the Pikes Peak Apex presented by Rock Shox. I’ll be sharing more about the race as it gets closer (Circa will be giving away free cowbells to spectators – let’s take the cheering up a notch!) but for now, here’s an opportunity to win:
We are giving away one free entry to the Pikes Peak Apex on Circa Real Estate Group’s website: Go here to enter to win a free entry – up to a $445 value!
Jeremy and I both love to mountain bike (that’s him in the photo) and we usually do several races each summer. We’ve been hoping for a big local race for awhile now and are excited to be able to have a part in bringing this fun event to Colorado Springs.
