FROM THE

EDITOR

Our Summer

I am writing this from a beach getaway with my lifelong girlfriends - friends since elementary school. We went to Kohl together just a few years back and bonded through adolescence. We stuck together through high school drama, stayed in touch as we went to different colleges, were in each other’s weddings, and supported each other through early motherhood. When life gets tough, be it job loss, death, or illness, these are the friends you call because they know more about you than anyone and just a 10-minute phone call can make everything a little bit better. We try to reconnect in person at least once a year. We are bound by time and memory and place. They are my center.

Wherever we meet to reconnect, our conversation is largely based around Broomfield. Who has each of us seen or talked to or heard about? Admittedly, there is some “gossip.” As well as stories. And our Broomfield summer memories are prominent. The ones about riding bikes and swimming, playing tennis and sleepovers, a special birthday party and a first job, a date with a boy and fireworks at the park, learning to drive and cheerleading tryouts, testing boundaries and flirting with trouble. Finding out who we were. Memories and moments, made blurry with time, yet filling the layers of who we are today.

And still, summer is a time for creating memories. Summer in Broomfield today is filled with opportunities for community. Music, food, art, and outside are woven throughout. As you page through this issue you will find numerous opportunities to get out and about and experience Broomfield this summer.

Maybe you could do so with a friend. Make a date to catch a concert at the new Palisade Park or try a new beverage at BrewHaha. Gather your neighbors for a summer book club and enter the Library’s Summer reading program as adults, or make the library a weekly stop with your kids and grandkids. Try a new restaurant and stay too long and laugh too loud and each too much.

May you find something to savor this summer. Something a little slower, a little richer, and a little centering. I hope you find and create a centering memory that brings you joy. Maybe that will happen at a beachside retreat with special people, but if that is not in the plans, Broomfied is a fine place for summer experience as well.

“We as a family could not have been more impressed with In Memoriam.

The professionalism, attention to detail and overall care and sympathy they showed us in our darkest hours was amazing.

They have and still are answering all of our questions as we navigate the loss of our father. The warm boutique type atmosphere was so inviting and comforting compared to other places that tend to be stale and cold. We as a family would highly recommend In Memoriam when you are dealing with some of the hardest times of your life.”

BUSY FAMILIES

Why Dads Matter

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

www.cerebralpalsyguide.com

L

et’s give a big huge shout out this month to all of the dads out there! Whether you are a fur baby dad, an amazing uncle dad, a friend dad or a dad with kids of your own, you are all seen and loved equally.

Dads come in all shapes and sizes. They come with different personalities, varied childhood experiences that shape them, and scaled levels of emotional availability. Some dads cheer quietly from the sidelines while others coach out loud the entire game. Some dads ask how their kids are feeling and others tell them to buck up. Many are a combination of all of this.

While moms often get the spotlight, fathers are the quiet foundation, the steady hands that lift us, the strong shoulders we climb on to see the world.

A good dad is not defined by perfection, but by presence. He shows up. He’s up at dawn getting kids out the door for sports. He sits through dance recitals and Little League games. He leads with discipline, love, and strength. He also teaches by example. How to treat others, how to work hard, and how to get up again after falling.

Why are dads so important? It’s because they help shape their children’s identity. They offer safety, structure, and stability. And they are the first to worry that they are giving their children emotional baggage that they will have to deal with later in life. They are equally confident in their teachings and worried they are totally failing. This is why we love them so much!

One of the many superhero dads that stands out to me is Dick Hoyt. He was the dad who ran all of the marathons with his quadriplegic son Rick who had cerebral palsy, pushing him the entire way. Rick told his dad that when he

Rick told his dad that when he is running with him it feels like his disabilities are gone.

is running with him it feels like his disabilities are gone.

That fueled Dick to run the Boston Marathon 30 times and many other races, happily pushing Rick the entire way.

Talk about a selfless man. And there are so many more out there with their own stories of showing up that deserve to be celebrated. Big or small efforts, dads show up. And kids remember.

Honestly, dads don’t have to be superheros to make a difference. It’s when they show a steady, kind, and endlessly devoted presence to their kids that makes all the difference.

This Father’s Day, and every day going forward let’s appreciate this person who shows up, consistently cheers for their kids, and quietly stands in the background doing their dad job. Each and every one of you, regardless of how you were raised and what tools you brought with you into your own fatherhood journey, are doing the best job you know how and it is perfect just the way it is.

Happy Father’s Day and thank you for being you!

Broomfield’s 4th of July Changes Coming to the Great American Picnic

B

By The City and County of Broomfield

roomfield’s beloved Great American Picnic, celebrating Independence Day, is back again at the Broomfield County Commons Park, and will feature two beer gardens, inflatables for kids, and food vendors serving some great local treats. For this year’s event, the City and County of Broomfield is implementing several updates to enhance everyone's ability to relax and have fun. These thoughtful adjustments are designed to create an environment where attendees can fully participate in the festivities.

The biggest change to this year’s event will be the Main Pavilion, Championship Field, and the Red Pod on the east side of the park will be completely fenced in for a more family-friendly environment. Entry and exit points will allow event staff to check bags for prohibited items.

Within the fenced area of the park will be: • The Main Stage with multiple bands performing • Inflatables, Bubble Tower, and other activities for kids • Multiple food vendors and a beer garden For those who prefer to avoid the entry checkpoints in the Red Pod, the Blue Pod, on the west side of the park, will be open and include a fenced-in beer garden and food vendors as well. The north side of the park, the Yellow Pod, will remain open for drop-in usage.

Beer will be sold by the Broomfield Chamber of Commerce in the Beer Gardens on the east and west sides of the park. These two areas are the only place alcohol is allowed at the event. Individual-use fireworks are illegal and are not permitted at the Great American Picnic nor in Broomfield City and County limits.

There will also be changes in road closures and allowable parking areas.

No parking will be allowed on Broomfield County Commons Drive, which runs between the Paul Derda Recreation Center and Sheridan, and will be shut down at 5:00 p.m., only allowing shuttle bus access.

For those parking on site at the event, the ADA accessible parking lot is shifting from the west parking lot to the parking lot east of the main pavilion at the commons. This shift provides the same amount of accessible parking and puts those with accessibility needs closer to the main event.

As in the past, Great American Picnic attendees are encouraged to park at Legacy High School and use the shuttle buses to get to the event grounds.

Buses will begin picking up from the Legacy at 5:00 p.m. near the pavilion on the northwest side by Legacy Park. There will be three school buses and one accessible bus running from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and two additional school

16

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

Two of the performing bands will be Spinphony and That Eighties Band.

buses from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. All six buses will be running after the event to return shuttle riders to Legacy parking lot.

Real-time notifications sent during the event will also be different. Residents can subscribe to receive push notifications for weather and fireworks show updates, so messages will come directly to you, instead of trying to find updates on social media. Visit Broomfield. org/GreatAmericanPicnic web page today to subscribe now!

Plan to spend your Fourth of July with family, friends, and neighbors and participate in a one-of-a-kind bike parade starting at 5:45 p.m., with live music following at 6:00 p.m. and ending with a dazzling fireworks display. Visit Broomfield.org/GreatAmericanPicnic to see a full schedule of events, road closures and maps of event layout, list of food vendors, and event restrictions. Know before you go, Broomfield!

Palisade Park Broomfield’s New Summer Hotspot:

The Palisade Park Amphitheater transforms into an eco-friendly, open-air farmers market and creative forum. Photos by Kris Severson

Amphitheater Brings Music, Markets, and Community Together

A

By Melissa Ruzicka

fter 14 incredible years at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, the beloved Broomfield Farmers’ Market is entering an exciting new chapter. What began in 2011 as an all-volunteer mission has grown into a community staple—but the time has come for a fresh start. With scorching summer heat and the physical demands of running a bustling market taking their toll, organizers knew a change was needed to keep the momentum alive.

Fortunately, the market found the perfect new home and partner with the new Palisade Park Amphitheater, a stunning outdoor venue in North Broomfield. Starting June 5, this vibrant space at the corner of Baseline Road and Palisade Parkway will host the market every Thursday, offering shaded greenspace, room to grow, and new opportunities to bring the community together.

theater transforms into an eco-friendly, open-air farmers market and creative forum, inviting farmers, ranchers, artists, crafters, small businesses, and nonprofits to share their best with our distinctive and diverse community. In partnership with Holy Comforter Episcopal Church, the mission is simple: support local enterprise, celebrate art and music, and give neighbors a welcoming place to gather in the spirit of celebration.

Ready to join the lineup? Email info@palisadeparkamphitheater to become a vendor and help make Thursday nights the heartbeat of Broomfield.

And this isn’t just a market—it’s a full-blown summer celebration. From 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., stroll the farmers market and enjoy live music from an opening band set up by the Palisade Park soccer fields. Then from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., the energy cranks up a notch with headlining concerts on the main stage, a lively beer garden, and food trucks galore. It’s the perfect way to kick back, connect, and celebrate all that makes Broomfield special.

This summer’s lineup kicks off on June 5, with the Patrick Storen Duo performing as visitors shop the market and catch up with neighbors. As the sun sets, families can grab dinner from one of eight food trucks and settle in on the lawn as the Low Down Brass Band brings the house down on the amphitheater stage. The excitement continues all month long with The Fuzzheads headlining with Roma Ransom on June 12, followed by Candi Jenkins and Derek Dames Ohl lighting up the third Thursday. June wraps up with Wylie Jones and Mark Morris, capping off four weeks of unforgettable summer nights.

Audio Engineer Brian Svoboda of Moxom Artistries Production hits the downbeat at the Amphitheater.

Night Concerts

The fun doesn’t stop there—July and August bring even more action with the launch of ticketed Friday and Saturday night concerts. Aaron Golay + The Original Sin will rock the stage on Saturday, July 12, followed by Nashville’s own Six One Five the next weekend. Meanwhile, the free Thursday concert series continues strong with acts like Bradman and Friends, Spinphony, The Runaway Grooms, and Wirewood Station taking the stage alongside the weekly market. Be sure to check Palisade Park Amphitheater’s website for the latest updates, schedules, and ticket information.

With so much goodness happening at the amphitheater, it’s important to remember the inspiring neighbors just to the east—Children’s Hospital Colorado. At every event, the amphitheater will give a heartfelt shout-out to the hospital’s hardworking staff, brave Promotional poster kids, and their families. In addition, weekly donations will be collected to support Children’s, reinforcing the amphitheater’s commitment to lifting up the entire community.

For Garrett Baum of Urban Frontier and Palisade Park Metro District #2 bringing the Palisade Park Amphitheater to life has been “a labor of love.” As

Bill Bryan (L) and Garrett Baum (R) of Urban Frontier, the developers of The Palisade Park Amphitheater.

a key developer behind the project, Baum has a bold vision for North Broomfield—one that embraces the city’s authentic cultural roots while creating new spaces where traditions can grow. He knows this ever-expanding part of town is hungry for meaningful community experiences, and the amphitheater is here to deliver.

The summer of 2025 is just the beginning. Plans are already in motion for even more diverse programming, from children’s theater performances and family movie nights to film festivals featuring guest speakers and directors. With its expansive, welcoming space, the amphitheater is poised to host everything from Italian festivals and cultural celebrations to car shows and community forums.

In short, Palisade Park Amphitheater is Broomfield’s newest hub for connection, culture, and celebration—and it’s only just getting started.

School of Rock’s House Band At the Watertower

Summer Sunday Festivals Bring Music, Magic, Community to Broomfield

T

By Melissa Ruzicka

here’s nothing quite like a Colorado summer evening—especially when it includes live music, creative activities, and time spent with neighbors and friends.

For over 25 years, Broomfield’s Summer Sunday Festivals have been a beloved tradition, offering free, family-friendly fun in a welcoming, artistic setting.

And this year’s series at the Brunner Farmhouse promises more excitement than ever!

Mark your calendars now for three unforgettable evenings: June 8, July 13, and August 3, each from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Pack a lawn chair, bring the family, and come ready for an evening of art, music, and local flavor.

Every Summer Sunday kicks off with a festival-style booth fair from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. featuring BCAH’s Creation Stations, where all ages can dive into hands-on art activities like scratch art masks, Japanese wind flags, and even squirt gun painting.

Nearby, the Broomfield Symphony Orchestra’s Instrument Petting Zoo invites kids to try out real instruments, sparking interest in music in a playful way. Face painting, balloon artists, and the Imagination Library help round out the family fun.

Each date also includes interactive performances that make the arts come alive.

On June 8, acclaimed puppeteer Betsy Tobin leads a puppet-making workshop, sharing her passion for expressive storytelling and shadow theatre. July 13 welcomes Mr. Kneel, a hip hop artist and former educator who blends beatboxing with uplifting messages of character and self-respect. And on August 3, audiences will experience the powerful rhythms of the Kusogea Nobi Drum Ensemble, which takes listeners on a cultural journey through African, Caribbean, and American drumming traditions—with a chance to join in on the beat!

From 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., settle in for a live concert under the setting sun. Each evening showcases a different musical act that brings high energy and great vibes to the Brunner lawn. June 8 features Dive Bar Diva, a bluesy, funky favorite known for

24

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

their dynamic vocals and crowd-pleasing setlists. On July 13, At the Watertower brings Americana charm and bluegrass energy to the stage, blending heartfelt lyrics with foot-tapping rhythms.

Wrapping up the series on August 3 is the talented youth group School of Rock’s House Band, featuring the area’s top young musicians performing classic and contemporary rock hits.

And of course—don’t forget the food!

Each event includes a local food truck serving delicious bites to enjoy picnic-style. Grab loaded tots from El Jefe’s Smothered Brats & Tots on June 8, savor bold flavors from Chile con Quesadilla on July 13, or indulge in gourmet grilled cheese from Don’t forget the food, like the whimsically gourmet grilled cheese! named What Would Cheesus Do on August 3 (yes, there are vegan and gluten-free options!).

These events are more than just concerts—they’re a celebration of community, culture, and creativity. With a little something for everyone—music lovers, aspiring artists, curious kids, and foodies alike—the Summer Sunday Festivals are a highlight of the season and a wonderful way to experience the heart of Broomfield.

So bring your blanket, grab a bite, and enjoy an evening of connection and joy under the summer sky!

Reflections from Local High School Graduates Congratulations to the Class of 2025 Editor’s Note: In the spirit of providing opportunities to give our young people a voice and a platform, Our Broomfield is pleased to continue a tradition. Each year, we look forward to inviting seniors from local high schools to share a reflection on growing up in Broomfield and their high school career on behalf of their class. We ran two of these in the May issue. This month we feature a senior from Legacy High School. We thank this year’s seniors for their thought provoking columns, and the entire staff of Our Broomfield sends all 2025 graduates sincere congratulations and best wishes for the future.

This piece of our story has prepared us for the next set of victories and obstacles that will challenge us, moments that will test our resilience, our patience, and our courage.

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

Elizabeth Gazaway Legacy High School

Legacy’s Class of 2025: Beating The Odds The moment we freshmen walked into our first-period class, we were oblivious to what opportunities and experiences awaited us. We entered high school during the COVID-19 pandemic, where we had to relearn how to be students, athletes, and even friends. From the late night study sessions, to showing up for our Friday night football games, we were able to experience what it meant to be a Bolt. Through every trouble we faced inside and outside of Legacy’s walls, we were able to take the stress of academics, and build on who we were meant to be no matter how much weight we had to carry through the hardest moments we graciously overcame.

Being a part of Legacy’s Class of 2025 has reminded us graduates that this moment is more than just a celebration of academic achievement—it is a commemoration of the journey that brought us here. This piece of our story has prepared us for the next set of victories and obstacles that will challenge us, moments that will test our resilience, our patience, and our courage.

Our class has been able to learn how to prosper through the lessons we have been reminded of—that failure is not the end but another step toward evolution. We learned that leaning on others is not a weakness but a strength and that the power to shape our future lies in our hands as we leave Legacy high school.

As I say goodbye to all I have known for the past four years, I will do so with pride and all that I have overcome, as all of us graduates have and will continue to do. Experiencing the support and opportunities Legacy has allowed us to experience. Legacy’s class of 2025 is to be remembered as the meaning of strength and dignity. We grew to love, support, and build a community through all of the memories and friendships we made.

With hope and dignity, with gratitude and appreciation, we were able to navigate this piece of our lives, and we step into the next with open arms, strong enough to face whatever will come our way. We have finally made it, and with that, our high school years are officially over. We will continue to show the world how we thrive, not just our way, but the Boltz way!

Elizabeth will be attending Grand Canyon University in the fall for Healthcare Administration and Criminal Justice. She also will be joining the GCU Flag football team.

FRIENDS Wildest Dreams Luncheon & Fashion Show – A Celebration of Strength,

FRIENDS participants took to social media to share their Wildest Dreams.

Style, and Self-Expression

A

By Kristen Beckman

fter last year’s dazzling Barbie & FRIENDS Luncheon & Fashion Show, FRIENDS of Broomfield is back with another unforgettable experience. Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 10, 2025, as the FRIENDS Wildest Dreams Luncheon & Fashion Show takes over The Westin Westminster at 11:00 a.m. for a heartwarming afternoon of empowerment, fashion, and fun.

This year’s theme, “FRIENDS Wildest Dreams,” invites guests to embrace big hopes and bold aspirations — set to an iconic Taylor Swift soundtrack that promises to make everyone feel 22 again. The event celebrates the limitless potential of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, with each model walking the runway as an example of confidence, personality, and joy.

“Participating in the Fashion Show makes me feel inspired,” said Amanda, a FRIENDS model and program participant.

“Walking in the fashion show makes me feel supported by the community,” added Carrie, another model and FRIENDS participant.

Last year’s Barbie theme reminded guests that “You Can Be Anything,” and this year continues that message — spotlighting how FRIENDS empowers individuals to live full, independent lives through programs including Day, Supported Employment, Residential, Social and Travel, and Behavioral Support Services.

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

As a nonprofit, FRIENDS of Broomfield relies on fundraising to meet 20% of its annual budget — and events like this are vital to sustaining and growing those programs. Founded in 1998 as a grassroots parent advocacy network, FRIENDS has grown into the only Broomfield-based, state-certified nonprofit supporting teens and adults with developmental disabilities.

In 2024, FRIENDS enrolled new participants across all programs and had many increased hours of service and people interested in joining an interest list for future enrollment. With an experienced board-certified behavior analyst on its team, FRIENDS has seen a decrease in challenging behaviors and a high demand for more services.

As such, it is planning to expand the program in 2025.

The fashion show will once again feature participants from FRIENDS, with apparel styled by Dillard’s. Guests will enjoy a delicious lunch, mimosas and a captivating program. Tickets are $100 through June 30 and will increase to $125 on July 1. Sponsorship opportunities are also available for individuals and businesses that want to make a lasting difference.

Last year, the event sold out in the first week in July so act fast. To purchase tickets, become a sponsor, make a donation, or learn more about FRIENDS, visit friendsofbroomfield.org/luncheon2025.

By Melissa Ruzicka

his summer, the Broomfield Library invites residents of all ages to bring color, creativity, and curiosity into their reading lives with Summer Library Adventures 2025!

Running from June 1 through July 31, the annual reading and activity challenge encourages the community to read, explore, and celebrate learning together.

The theme this year is “Color Our World,” and the program is open to everyone—from babies to adults. To join,

32

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

participants simply register at broomfield.beanstack.org.

Pre-registration opened May 1, and the challenge officially begins on June 1, when participants can start logging their reading and activities through Beanstack. Earn 20 points by reading for 20 days, completing 20 fun activities, or mixing and matching both. Logging is required to be eligible for prizes—but the best reward might just be the joy of reading itself.

And speaking of prizes—there’s something for everyone! Little Learners (newborn to age 2) can look forward to a free book, a Chipper’s bowling pass, a Rec Center pass, and a sensory ball. Kids ages 3–10 will receive a book, a bowling pass, a Rec Center pass, plus a colored pencil set and jumbo sticker to color. Teens (ages 11–18) will earn a book, bowling and Rec Center passes, and a choice between a coloring journal or mini journal with a pen. Adults (19 and up) who complete the challenge will receive a Chipper’s pass, a Rec Center pass, and a signature library mug. Prizes will be available from June 7 through August 10, while supplies last.

Summer Library Adventures isn’t just about reading—it’s about community. To kick off the season, the Library is hosting a

special Color Our World celebration, filled with hula hooping, juggling, yard games, and upcycled fashion activities. Families can sign up for the program on-site, meet local organizations, and enjoy this joyful start to summer. There will also be an outdoor Storytime at Northmoor Park for ages 2–5, where families can gather on blankets or lawn chairs for stories, rhymes, and music in the sunshine.

Kids can also flex their artistic skills in the Broomfield Library Friends Foundation’s annual Bookmark Contest, running May 3 through June 14. Children ages 3 to 12 are invited to design their own bookmark—winners in three age categories (3–5, 6–8, and 9–12) will have their designs printed and distributed at the Library. Entry forms and contest rules will be available at the Library or online at broomfieldlibraryfriends.com beginning May 3. Submissions can be dropped off at the Library or mailed to BLFF at 3 Community Park Road, Broomfield, CO 80020.

Events and activities will take place throughout June and July for all age groups. Visit the Library’s website to explore program listings and discover everything from crafts and STEAM challenges to author visits and hands-on workshops.

Whether you're diving back into beloved classics or discovering a brand-new genre, summer is the perfect time to fall in love with reading all over again. Encourage your kids to read what they love—yes, even Dog Man for the 956th time!

Every page they turn builds confidence, fluency, and a lifelong love of books. The secret is simple: the more they read what excites them, the better readers they become.

So grab a book, sign up, and help color Broomfield’s summer—one story at a time.

Summer Lovin’ Sweet Treats S

By Lisa Payne

ummer food is here! There are so many delicious ingredients strutting their stuff this month. Apricots, artichokes, blueberries, broccoli, beets, carrots, cantaloupe, mangos, peas, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, and strawberries. So let’s cook some sweet treats for the season! I’m even including my favorite rhubarb dream bar recipe (you are welcome, Ginny Mata!).

In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, then add yogurt and vanilla and beat until combined. The batter will be lumpy.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and beat until just combined, and no dry flour particles are visible. Fold in the blueberries (reserve 1/4 cup of them for the top of the muffins).

Use a medium to large cookie scoop and divide batter evenly into the liners, filling them all the way to the top. Press remaining blueberries on top.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to continue cooling.

Blueberry Yogurt Muffins Ingredients: • 1 + 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed • 1 large egg, at room temperature • 3/4 cup plain yogurt • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 + 1/2 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen Directions: Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a 12-tin muffin pan with cupcake liners, or spray with cooking spray.

Rhubarb Dream Bars Ingredients: • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar • 1 cup butter, softened • 3 cups white sugar • 1 + 1/2 teaspoons salt • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour • 4 large eggs, beaten • 4 + 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb Directions: Gather all ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix 2 cups of flour, confectioners' sugar, and butter together in a medium bowl until it forms a dough, or at least the butter is in small crumbs.

Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch

baking dish.

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

Meanwhile, whisk white sugar, salt, 1/2 cup flour, and eggs together in a large bowl; stir in rhubarb to coat.

Spread evenly over the baked crust when it comes out of the oven.

Bake for another 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until rhubarb is tender. Cool and cut into squares to serve.

Be ready to convert rhubarb haters to rhubard lovers!

Kid-Friendly

Colorado Summer Hikes

By Bette Erickson In this issue I am sharing a few of the Colorado trails that were my kids’ favorites when they were youngsters, short and scenic — and ideal for little legs.

Remember, though, when hiking with kids, that you will need to take your time, indulging their curiosity and their need to stop frequently. We should use the hike to foster love and respect for the outdoors, and not treat hiking like a grueling chore or something to check off on our to-do list.

Tenderfoot-Chapman Loop The Tenderfoot-Chapman Loop on Flagstaff Mountain in Boulder is a pleasant 2½-mile circuit curving and zigzagging along the flanks of Flagstaff Mountain, offering views of the Front Range, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the rear of Boulder Mountain Parks.

The aromatic coniferous forest provides a home to blue grouse, crossbills, and Albert`s squirrels, dwarfed by the spectacular Indian Peaks Wilderness Area to the west.

To the trailhead: Take U.S. 36 west to the Baseline Road exit.

Turn left, and once past Chautauqua Park, take Flagstaff Road 3.3 miles and park at Realization Point. The trailhead is to the east of the parking area.

42

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

A stroll along Boulder’s Tenderfoot-Cha pman Loop appeals to all ages and abilities. It’s a parti cularly pleasant outing for young adventurers.

Continue 0.6 mile to Dream Lake, eventually following the trail to Emerald Lake as the route climbs 250 feet to the large lake.

What sets Floor Crafters apart in a crowded market is its “shop-at-home” model that brings a mobile showroom directly to clients' doors.

Floor Crafters: Building Quality Floors and Trust for More than Three Decades

W

By Kristen Beckman

hen it comes to transforming a house into a home or elevating a commercial space, few elements have the impact of quality flooring.

For more than three decades, Floor Crafters has been helping Broomfield, Boulder County, and the greater Denver area bring visions to life through expert flooring solutions and personalized service.

Founded in 1988, Floor Crafters has grown from a local flooring business into a trusted name in residential and commercial flooring, The company is led by Shaun Bezuidenhout, the second owner of the company, which employs seven people.

“For us, this is also personal,” said Bezuidenhout. “It is not designed to be in business for a week, a month or even a year. It’s designed to be a multigenerational business that will be around for many lifetimes.”

Floor Crafters offers a comprehensive suite of services, including flooring sales, expert installation, project management, and free in-home consultations. Offerings span hardwood, tile, luxury vinyl, carpet, laminates, and even concrete polishing and coatings, giving clients a wide range of options to suit any design or budget.

What sets Floor Crafters apart in a crowded market is its “shop-at-home” model that brings a mobile showroom directly to clients’ doors. With hundreds of product options and an interactive room viewer available on its website, customers can explore styles and textures from the comfort of their homes, making the decision-making process more convenient.

Bezuidenhout said the company’s hands-on, consultative approach has made Floor Crafters a trusted partner Wide-plank engineered hardwood in light natural tones is in high demand.

44

Our Broomfield™ Magazine | June 2025

for homeowners, designers, and contractors alike. Staying ahead of design trends is another reason customers keep coming back. Right now, wide-plank engineered hardwood in light natural tones is in high demand. Plush carpeting with extra-soft padding is also gaining popularity in bedrooms, while polished concrete floors are on the rise. In bathrooms, steam showers and underfloor tile heating are quickly becoming the new standard in luxury and comfort.

For those considering a flooring upgrade, Bezuidenhout offers a word of caution: “Don’t chase price, because there are a lot of inferior products and service companies out there that will take you for a ride. Instead, chase a fair deal with good products,” he said. “We replace a lot of inferior cheap products that have been installed pretty badly.”

The company’s passion is seeing the amazing change a new wood floor, tiling project or carpet can make – the kind of change that beautifies a home, increases functionality and adds value.

“That’s what drives us, and combined with years of experience building out industry best practices, our projects result in a level of quality and professionalism that is difficult to match,” said Bezuidenhout. “We’ve helped countless clients, contractors and designers over the years, and we’re proud of our reputation for superior end product quality, as well as clear, concise, honest communication, and overall customer satisfaction. That’s what excites us.”

Your safest place when it matters most.

In the moments that matter most, safety means everything. At AdventHealth Avista, we’re honored to be once again recognized by The Leapfrog Group as one of America’s highest-rated hospitals for patient safety.

No matter when you need us, we’ll be your safest place to heal, so you can get back to the life you love.

Meet Teryl Fabry About Teryl Fabry

Born and raised in California, Teryl has lived in Broomfield for 25 years.

Teryl is the mother of three adult children – two daughters and a son – and also has two grandsons. She is the Executive Director of Senior Resources of Broomfield (SRB).

Teryl and her family are close and enjoy traveling when they can, especially to exotic places like Costa Rica, Belize, Mexico, and Hawaii. They like to camp and jet ski and spend time together.

She is also passionate about live music and dancing, she loves all of the summer outdoor music options here in Broomfield and surrounding areas. Taryl has taught country-western line dancing at the Lafayette Recreation Center, and enjoys a variety of music.

Q: What do you enjoy most about your job?

A: As executive director of Senior Resources of Broomfield (SRB), I love working with an amazing Board of Directors. They are all so dedicated. I love advocating on behalf of seniors. Older adults are the best part of our community and we can learn so much from them.

Q: Tell us a little bit about your career path.

A: I earned my cosmetology license after high school and began working as a hairstylist. A few years later, I started a family and opened an in-home childcare so I could spend more time with my children. I also worked as an in-home caregiver for 12 years to my best friend (who liked to be called Old Uncle Pete even though his name was John), as well as for a few other senior friends.

I recognized a huge need with people who had a hard time getting out of their homes, whether they had small children, were disabled or were a senior, so I started a mobile hair service and began servicing the Broomfield community. Seven years ago I began working for the SRB Board of Directors.

Q: What is your favorite restaurant and park in Broomfield?

A: My favorite restaurant is 3 Margaritas. It takes me back to when my Colombian aunts would cook for me when I was a child. My favorite park is Josh’s Pond, where I walk my best friend – my Alaskan Malamute, Moana.

Q: Who is the most interesting person you’ve met in our community?

A: That would have to be my best friend Old Uncle Pete.

Throughout the 12 years that I was his caregiver, he showed me unconditional love, compassion, kindness, and brought me closer to my relationship with God. One of my favorite memories is when we vacationed together in Mexico, where he supported a ministry for children. He even went parasailing while we were there when he was 86-years old.

Q. What is something you find unique about Broomfield?

A: The amazing community that comes together like a big family to support and encourage each other.

Teryl vacationing with her family.

Q: What advice would you give to people living in or relocating to Broomfield?

A:Immerse yourself in the community, experience as many things as you can. There are so many opportunities in Broomfield. The residents here are all so loving, caring, and kind like nowhere else I’ve ever lived.

Q: Who or what inspires you to be a better person ?

A: My adult children and grandchildren.

They are my biggest accomplishment.

Editor’s Note: Each month Our Broomfield Magazine profiles different members of the community. Through Our People: “Meet insert name.”

Our goal is to introduce Broomfield area change-makers and highlight their contributions.
