Well…that may be an old saying for the month of March …but for us, it was completely opposite!!

There was plenty of moisture dropped on us here in Colorado and we are looking forward to a nice green summer! While that wild weather ride may have cause you to postpone any plans to visit, we are most assuredly enjoying sunshine these days! The daffodils, crocus and other bulbs are going into full bloom, so now may be a good time to schedule that trip.

 

While you are here to look for property you will find there is much to do! Just in Pueblo alone, the PBR is hosting the Wild Wild West Fest May 12-16, 2010. The Arkansas River in the spring attracts kayakers, boaters, and even river surfers! The Colorado River Surfing Association is planning another International Surfing Day celebration at the Pueblo Whitewater Park.

And after years and years of Lake Minnequa sitting un- utilized, with the support of the Denver Broncos..a sports center is staking it’s claim at Lake Minnequa!  Almost 320 acres are being turned into a recreation and open space area, with playground and picnic shelter. The lake is slated to be stocked with fish, and a trail is already being constructed to allow folks to walk or hike around it.

In Canon City area, the 72nd Annual Music and Blossom Festival is Aril 30 to May2nd. It boasts food and craft booths, a big parade, carnival and of course..music! And you don’t need to be a kid to enjoy the chocolate walk, and other entertainers that will be delighting folks throughout the Park.

And for us Moms…Mothers get in free to the Royal Gorge on Mothers Day.

Westcliffe once again hosts the Springtime in Rockies on May 29. Kick off your day with a pancake breakfast, then peruse the booths at a 2 day annual yard sale, follow it up by enjoying the Wet Mt Community Parade and finish the afternoon by attending the live theatre performance of Route 66.

Of course this is just a small sampling of what is happening around this neck of the woods, and there is sure to be something to appeal to all age groups and tastes. Visit the appropriate county’s chamber of commerce, or call me if there is some specific activities you are into and would like to have links or information about.

In closing, just remember with interest rates still at historic lows, the stock market increasing daily, the home sales market improving….it is increasingly proving that there is no time like the present to find that dream property! And frankly, it will be a long time coming before the bargains, the wheeling and dealing, the steals of the deals, that we are seeing now will happen again.

So…saddle up…and head on out to pursue that dream…before it gets out of reach again.  

See you on the Happy Trails~
