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.

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.

Designed to get kids interested in the world of aviation, the Young Eagle program offers kids aged 8 to 17 the opportunity to take a flight in a small aircraft for free!  There are fifteen different options in Colorado, with the one closest to the Springs being in Peyton/Falcon.  Check out the information on this program and get contact information on the Young Eagle website.

If you’ve been wanting to try stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), here’s a chance to do it for free: UpaDowna is offering free paddleboarding on Prospect Lake on Thursday, July 25th!  You can get the details on their Facebook event page.  The event is free, but they will be accepting donations as well so that they can keep doing events like this.
