🎶🪴 Crates, Clippings & Cold Beers: Sunday in Fort Collins Is Gonna Be Real Fun | | Hey FoCo, | First off—yep, we totally goofed. Last Wednesday, we shouted out the Foodie Walk a week too late (it’s always the third Friday of the month, not the fourth). Thanks to everyone who gently let us know—we see you, and we appreciate the catch. Won’t let the snacks mislead us again. 😅 | But no fear—this weekend has plenty to make up for it. | This Sunday, April 27, Fort Collins is coming through with two A+ events for the books. | It’s the perfect kind of choose-your-own-FoCo-day—or do both and leave with a Bowie LP and a pothos. Scroll down for all the details, plus weekend weather, event listings, and a few fun ways to help shape what we build next. | Let’s get weird (and maybe a little leafy). | | 🎶 Vinyl Finds & Plant Swaps: Sunday Plans, Solved | This Sunday, April 27, Fort Collins is throwing down two very different (but equally excellent) vibes — and you’re totally allowed to do both. | 🎧 Northern Colorado Record Show | | 🕰 10 AM Early Bird | 11 AM–5 PM General Admission | 📍 Breckenridge Brewery, 1020 E Lincoln Ave | Whether you’re a crate-digging diehard or just hunting for that one missing Bowie album, the Northern Colorado Record Show is your analog dream day. Browse thousands of new & used records from over 20 vendors, grab a pint and a burger from Breckenridge Brewery, and soak up the sounds of live DJs spinning real vinyl all day. | 🎟️ Early Bird Access: Get in early by snagging a ticket from All Sales Vinyl, Breckenridge Brewery, or Downtown Sound. | 💿 Expect: Records, gear, music merch, giveaways, and deep-dive convos about album art |

| 🌿 Fat Tire Sustainable Swap: Plant Edition | | 🕰 Starts 11 AM | 📍 New Belgium Brewing, 500 Linden St | Not into records? Trade your green thumb for a cold beer at New Belgium’s Sustainable Swap Series. This month’s theme: Plants. Bring a clipping, starter, or leafy friend to swap, and they’ll hook you up with a FREE Fat Tire. Seriously. | 🪴 What else is coming up? | |
