Loveland Loves BBQ, Bands & Brews was in downtown Loveland both Friday & Saturday. If you missed it, you missed not only the aforementioned three, but also a car show, an artisan marketplace and more.

With a new band every hour and some Colorado craft beers and BBQ, downtown Loveland showed off this weekend. Plenty of pulled pork, brisket, ribs, and links could be found as music wafted through the air with the smoke.

I’m not a Colorado native (did you know that "I'm from Missouri" means "I'm skeptical of the matter and not easily convinced?") but I have lived here for most of my life and couldn't imagine leaving. After graduating from Colorado State University, I did what everyone wants to do; I moved to the mountains and skied, hiked, and hid from responsibility! Our listeners in the mountains may know me from my time in Steamboat Springs and Vail or as the voice of the Battle Mountain Huskies Hockey team in Vail.
