Fort Collins is the home of one of the branches of the University of Colorado. It is located about 40 miles south of Cheyenne, WY. Being a college town and a great weather day, it was a good time for the college students to close their books and have some fun. It was homecoming weekend. Ever heard the term Fort Fun?
The downtown area of the city had several streets blocked off to vehicle traffic and there was live entertainment in several areas.
We started the afternoon at a Brewery that started 25 years ago and is now distributing in 11 states.
We arrived in time for the 1 pm tour.
Even though the tour didn't start until 1 pm, there was a line waiting for the opportunity for being on the first day's tour.
If you look at the handles on this refrigerator, it looks like an old model. You will also notice the 2 taps on the right middle. Sure wish I had one of these when we went on vacation a few years ago. It might have prevented damage to one of the shelves in our downstairs refrigerator when we were gone.
This equipment is about 20 years old and is still used today to bottle the product.

The rest of the afternoon was spent doing a little shopping in stores that you don't normally find in smaller cities (like in Maine). A college band (The Rappers) warming up the fans.
The owner of the hat made a sale this afternoon when he described the item as including hummus.
Not all the cowboys can handle a plain old seat.

One happy Grammie!

There were a lot of people...and families having fun today.
We had supper at the Senator's Steakhouse. The Bison burgers were a popular item on the menu.
All in all....a great day. Lots of fun people watching.
