EDITOR FROM THE Our Big Small Town
It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! It’s time for Broomfield Days again. If you follow this column at all, you know that Broomfield Days is one of my favorite days of the year; steeped in memory, nostalgia, and tradition. It is the quintessential celebration of everything that is wonderful and amazing about our beloved town. Our Big Small Town. I have to thank this year’s Parade Marshall and fellow Broomfield High School Eagle Mike Lutz for that phrase. He uses it in his interview on page 46.
I like it. It is a very good descriptor of what Broomfield is now. Broomfield’s growth trajectory over more than 65 years has been swift and steep. But despite its (sometimes bumpy) growth, somehow at least in character, Broomfield has maintained a “small town” feel.
I am working on a personal project right now finding details on my family’s own history here. My whole life I have known from family stories about my grandfather’s business endeavors in the early days of Broomfield, most notably as the operator of Broomfield’s first hotel and Italian restaurant in the late 1950s and early 1960s - The Broomfield Manor and DiCino’s Restaurant. Through historic newspapers, talks with my mom and uncle, and old family papers and photos, I am working on a timeline. And I am finding some very interesting things!
For one, the first Broomfield Heights Center sign “with letters 8 feet high” was erected on May 8, 1958, “at the turnpike-highway junction near the booming suburban community.” And my grandpa was there!
"This new shopping center is for your convenience," John DiCino, temporary chairman of the Broomfield Heights Shopping Center association, said. He urged all residents to take advantage of modern facilities, new equipment, and fine displays of merchandise in the new center. "Shop at home where your dollars come back to you," he said.
I guess you could say I have followed in his footsteps - promoting local business.
And I found an article that recorded the 4th Annual Broomfield Boom on July 7, 1960, at which my Grandpa John was a parade judge! Back then Broomfield Days was called the Boom, and it seems the first event was in 1957. 68 years ago. No wonder Broomfield Days brings me nostalgia.
Even as I study the early days, my personal memories are abundant and each year I just can’t wait to create more! I have a lifetime of Broomfield Days stories, with recent years filled with fun with my husband, daughters, sister, and parents, but also with the lady in the photo with me above - Miss Tammy! You can find us again this year, in the “traditional” Our Broomfield spot, near the Broomfield Area Chamber beer tents. Stop by and see us and pick-up your Our Broomfield bracelet. We can’t wait to see you on our favorite day of the year. Read all about it throughout this special issue.
Thanks for reading and see you soon,

How Fall Teaches Us About Loss
By Lisa Payne
Hello September! Fall is just about here
with its crisp air and golden light. This is nature’s way of giving us one of its most profound teachings about life, death, and remembrance. The season's transformation—from the vibrant greens of summer to the brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows of fall—mirrors our own journey of honoring those who have passed while celebrating the endless beauty of their impact on our lives.
I recently lost one of my best college girlfriends. She battled colon cancer at way too young of an age. Losing her, in combination with the onset of fall, puts me in deep reflection and can spiral me downward or lift me up depending on the day and how I choose to hold the moment.
Nature is our teacher. There is something quite moving about watching leaves release their hold on the branch. They don't cling desperately to the tree. Instead, they surrender gracefully, floating on the wind as they make their final descent. This natural process of letting go offers comfort to those grieving the loss of loved ones. Just as trees release their leaves to survive the winter and prepare for new blossoms, we too must learn to release our grip on what was…while holding close the beauty of what remains.
The falling leaves don't represent an ending, but a transformation. They return to the earth, enriching the soil that will nourish new life in spring. Similarly, our departed loved ones continue to enrich our lives in ways both seen and unseen. Their wisdom, stories, laughter, and love become part of the very foundation upon which we build our existence.
Autumn teaches us that there is beauty in every stage of life. The bare branches that we will soon witness are not symbols of emptiness but of endurance and quiet strength. In our grief, we may feel stripped bare, exposed to the elements of sorrow and loss. But we know the trees will bloom again year after year, regardless of how much they had to endure through the winter.
The cycle of seasons reminds us that endings are also
beginnings. While we cannot reverse the passage of time or bring back those we've lost, we can honor their memory by embracing the lessons they taught us and carrying their light forward. Each autumn becomes an opportunity to reflect on their lasting influence—the way their kindness shaped
The beautiful display of fall colors is actually a tree's gift before winter—a burst of beauty that comes from letting go.
our compassion, their wisdom guided our decisions, or their courage inspired us to step outside of our comfort zone.
Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of autumn's symbolism is how it demonstrates that legacy is not about permanence but about transformation. The beautiful display of fall colors is actually a tree's gift before winter—a burst of beauty that comes from letting go. Our loved ones offer us similar gifts through their memory: moments of unexpected joy when we recall their humor, boosts of strength when we remember their resilience, and waves of love when we feel their presence in our daily lives.
As we walk through autumn landscapes, we can see our departed loved ones in every golden sunset that reminds us of their warmth, every gentle breeze that carries whispers of their voice, and every bare tree that stands as a testament to enduring love. They are not gone; they have simply changed form, becoming part of the eternal cycle that connects all living things.
This autumn, as we watch nature do its thing, we can find peace in knowing that love transcends seasons, and memory creates its own form of everlasting spring within our hearts.

EasyRide Offers Free Transportation for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities
By The City and County of Broomfield
Getting to a doctor’s appointment, picking up groceries or attending a fitness class might seem like simple errands. But for older adults or individuals living with disabilities, those tasks can feel like big challenges, especially if driving is no longer an option. That’s why the City and County of Broomfield offers EasyRide — a free, grant-supported door-to-door transportation service that helps residents aged 60 and older, as well as adults with disabilities, get where they need to go safely and independently. There is no cost to the rider.
EasyRide makes it possible to attend medical appointments, go grocery shopping, meet friends for lunch at the community center, or simply stay connected to the activities that matter most. Drivers pick up riders at their door and deliver them directly to their destination. It’s a safe, reliable alternative to public transit, especially during snowy weather or for those who prefer not to navigate large parking lots.
Many riders continue to drive themselves on occasion but use EasyRide for convenience, peace of mind, or when the weather makes travel more difficult. The service offers personal trips within Broomfield Monday through Friday, from 8:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Medical and nutrition appointments are prioritized. Rides must be scheduled at least three business days in advance and can be booked up to 21 days ahead.
In addition to in-town trips, EasyRide provides weekday transportation for medical appointments outside of Broomfield. Riders can access care in nearby communities like Boulder, Lafayette, Westminster, and Thornton, including major facilities such as Boulder Community Health, Kaiser Rock Creek, Rocky Mountain Cancer Center, Clinica Lafayette, and many more. If you're unsure whether your
destination is within the service area, a quick call to the EasyRide office can help confirm eligibility.
The service doesn’t just benefit the riders — it also offers reassurance to family members and caregivers. Knowing that a loved one has access to safe, professional, and reliable transportation eases the burden on those coordinating care. For many families, EasyRide is an essential support that allows aging residents to remain active and independent without having to rely on friends or relatives for every ride.
Getting started is simple. Residents must first register with EasyRide by completing an application online or by phone. Once registered, rides can be scheduled by calling 303-464-5534. Passengers receive an automated confirmation call the afternoon before their trip with their scheduled pickup time. After appointments, they can call the dispatch line to request a return ride home.
Transportation is more than just a way to get from place to place—it’s a key to living fully. From medical appointments and grocery trips, to community events and daily connections, EasyRide supports Broomfield residents in maintaining their independence, wellness, and sense of community.
To learn more or to apply, visit Broomfield.org/EasyRide or call 303-464-5534.
The Power of
Marlowe’s Journey at Bal Swan
By Melissa Ruzicka
When Julia first stepped onto the Bal Swan campus more than two decades ago, she knew she had found a special place. At the time, she was the founder and artistic director of the Colorado Conservatory of Dance, and her path crossed with the nonprofit through community connections. She admired its mission then, but it wasn’t until years later—when her son Marlowe was born— that she truly understood the depth of Bal Swan’s impact.
Marlowe, now eight years old, was born with Megalencephaly-Capillary Malformation (MCM), a genetic condition that caused one side of his head to grow larger than the other. As a result of MCM, he developed Polymicrogyria (PMG), which led to epilepsy and a stroke in utero that damaged his occipital-parietal lobe, affecting his vision and speech. By the age of six, Marlowe had experienced more than 350 seizures and completed over 1,800 therapy sessions, including speech, occupational, and physical therapy. Understanding his surroundings is a daily challenge for Marlowe, but his determination shines through. Despite all he has faced, he remains a bright light, smiling and greeting everyone he meets.
When it came time for preschool, Julia knew Bal Swan was the place where Marlowe would be seen, understood, and supported. The amazing teachers worked hand-inhand with his therapists to create strategies tailored to his needs. They never gave up on him. They saw his potential—and made sure he saw it too.
Bal Swan’s inclusive model—that mixes every classroom with typical students and special needs students—benefits every child. Classmates learn alongside one another, support each other, and form meaningful friendships. Typical students grow in empathy and leadership, while students with special needs, like Marlowe, gain access to real learning, confidence, and a true sense of belonging.
The impact of this approach extends beyond the classroom. The school’s current Building Belonging Campaign—an $18 million initiative to rebuild the 62-year-old campus and expand access to early learning, therapy, and care—is deeply personal for families like Julia’s. More than $2 million has already been raised, and the next goal is an additional $3 million to un-
lock foundation support and break ground by summer 2027. This rebuild is about far more than a physical structure; it ensures that future generations have the same transformative experiences that changed Marlowe’s life. Every child will be seen, every need will be met, and differences will continue to be celebrated.
Even now, as Marlowe transitions to the public school system, Julia’s ties to Bal Swan remain strong. She volunteers regularly and serves on the founding board of Grove Elementary at Bal Swan; a charter school built on the same values of inclusion and community.
For Julia and Marlowe, Bal Swan is more than a school—it’s a place where potential is nurtured, differences are celebrated, and children grow into compassionate, empowered members of their community. The Building Belonging Campaign ensures that these opportunities continue for the next generation, giving thousands more children a place to thrive just as Marlowe has.

Lace Up Your Shoes! The Broomfield 100 Wraps Up September 20
By Bette Erickson
It’s not too late to check off a few more outings in your 2025 Broomfield 100 Challenge Passport.
The program wraps up on Saturday, September 20, at Broomfield Days.
“I’ve visited all the trails,” said Broomfield resident Vince Sadler. “The passport booklet is a great resource.”
The Broomfield 100 and its trails “passport” is offered in hardcopy and virtual forms. With the annual kick-off of the Broomfield 100 coinciding with National Trails Day (the first Saturday in June), interested residents are encouraged to access the passport online and hike or bike the variety of routes offered throughout the summer – generally summing to 100 miles. Hence the name, Broomfield 100.
Although this year the distances do not sum to 100, the point value of each site sums to 200.
The online access allows participants to contribute to a community guest book, photo scavenger hunt, and more.
The summer-long outdoor community challenge is enjoyed by hundreds of residents each year. What’s not offered online: prizes for those who've completed the challenge. Broomfield 100 finishers can meet at the City and County tent at Broomfield Days on September 20 to receive their prizes.
Back in 2015, Broomfield City and County planners came up with the brilliant Broomfield 100 Challenge. The goal of the three-month event is to encourage outdoor exercise, expose participants to the city’s expansive and
well-planned trails system, and generally get residents enthused about healthy activity.
Now in its 11th year, the Broomfield 100 offers residents the opportunity to explore the beauty and diversity of the outdoors right here in our own community. Share the wonders of Broomfield’s trails with your family and friends while having fun, winning prizes, and staying healthy.
For more information about the Broomfield 100 Challenge and the Broomfield 100 Web app, visit www.broomfield. org/Broomfield100.

If you know you know. If you don’t, plan to go this year and find out!
Broomfield Days is more than just a one-day festival—it's a beloved annual tradition filled with numerous activities designed to gather, entertain, showcase, and build community pride.
While the pancakes, car show, parade, and incredible performances are all highlights of the main event on September 20, there are a few cherished traditions that take place ahead of the main event.
Golf for SRB
Congratulations to 2025 Broomfield Days Logo creator Jacquie Colby!
On Friday, September 19, Senior Resources of Broomfield will host the annual Broomfield Days Golf Tournament at the beautiful Eagle Trace Golf Club. Check-in begins at 7:00 a.m., where participants can enjoy a breakfast and coffee, followed by an 8:00 a.m. shotgun start in a modified scramble format. For sponsorship details or to register visit srb-broomfield-daysgolf-tournament.perfectgolfevent.com/registration.
Bingo and Pancakes
To kick off Broomfield Days weekend, join friends and neighbors on Friday night, September 19, at 7:00 p.m. at the Girl Scout Shelter for the Rotary Club of Broomfield Crossing's annual BINGO night! Just 12 hours later, the Rotary Club returns to host a delicious pancake breakfast at 7:00 a.m. Bring the whole family—kids 5 and under eat free, ages 6-12 are only $6, and ages 13 and up are $12. Rotary reopens the BINGO game at 6:00 p.m. Saturday night.
Clown Contest
Calling all little clowns of Broomfield! It’s time to clown around at the Kid’s Clown Contest! Dress up in your best clown outfit and head to the main stage for a morning of fun and laughter. Registration is free and starts at 12:15 p.m., but make sure a parent or guardian is present to sign you up. Kids will be grouped into three age divisions: 1-4 years, 5-6 years, and 7-9 years. The top two clowns in each group will win a brand-new bike! The contest will take place on the main stage from 1:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. Get ready to show off your clowning skills and make your silliness count!
Mayor’s Cup Race
Following the tasty community pancake breakfast comes the annual 2025 Broomfield Mayor’s Cup Race where runners of all ages and fitness levels line up to race the family 5K. Designed to bring the community together to promote health and fitness, the race kicks off at 8:20 a.m. on Midway Boulevard near the firehouse. Participants will follow a scenic route through Broomfield’s streets and bike paths and find themselves winding through the beautiful community park as their path leads them back over to Midway to get ready for the parade. In addition to the 5K race, there’s also the Broomfield Days Fun Run, a one-mile race down Midway Boulevard for those looking for a shorter, less competitive option. For those interested in joining the race or the FUN run, early registration is recommended as the event draws a large crowd. Register at broomfield.org/600/Broomfield-Days-Race.
Parade
The Broomfield Days Parade is one of the highlights each and every year of Broomfield Days. Friends, neighbors, and families all line up on both sides of Midway to see their kids’ school, or a high school marching band, among a variety of entries, including floats from local organizations and community groups. The Parade is set to start at 9:30 a.m. and will make it to Midway Park by 10:00 a.m. Lifelong Broomfield resident,
educator, and community supporter John Long is the Master of Ceremonies for Broomfield’s highly anticipated annual parade. This year's Grand Marshal is Broomfield FISH Food Operations Manager Mike Lutz. You can read more about Mike on page 46.
Food, Fun, and Entertainment
The performance stages at Broomfield Days will feature a wide variety of talented performers from across Broomfield, showcasing all ages and styles of music and dance. From amazing bands and pom squads to hula dancers and stunning performances from local talented dance studios, there's no shortage of entertainment. And, with concessions, a Beer Garden, and carnival games galore, there's food and fun for everyone to enjoy. For a full schedule of events including the complete entertainment line-up visit: broomfield. org/601/Entertainment-and-Schedule.
Trade Fair
With an average of 30,000 attendees, it's no surprise that securing a vendor booth at the largest gathering of the year is a hot ticket. By the start of summer, all vendor booths are booked, featuring local nonprofits, arts and crafts sellers, food vendors, and everything in between. Be sure to save some time to walk around and look at everything Broomfield Days has to offer.
Bow Wow Broomfield and Dock Dogs
Bow Wow Broomfield is another popular event at Broomfield Days, dedicated to celebrating the community's furry friends. It features a variety of dog-friendly activities, contests, and vendors catering to pets and their owners. We all love our dogs and we love that they have their own area at
John Long, Master of Ceremonies
Broomfield Days. Let your pet showcase their jumping skills at the DockDogs Contest! Dogs can compete in the Big Air competition, where they leap from a dock into a pool to see how far they can jump. They can also test their abilities in the Extreme Vertical Competition to see who jumps the highest or race against the clock in the Speed Retrieve event. All dogs are welcome to participate! Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 20, and Sunday, September 21, with the competition kicking off at 9:00 a.m. each day. Whether your dog is a seasoned pro or a first-timer, they can compete alongside national champions. For more details, visit DockDogs®.
Car Show
Senior Resources of Broomfield also hosts the Broomfield Days Car Show at Broomfield Days. The 2025 SRB Broomfield Days Car Show will be held on the scenic grass at South Midway Park just West of Nativity of Our Lord Church in Broomfield. The annual event is a beloved part of Broomfield Days, drawing car enthusiasts from all over to showcase an impressive variety of classic and unique vehicles. All cars, makes, and models are welcome.

SRB Annual Fundraisers
Critical Help for Local Seniors Facing Rising Costs
By Kristen Beckman
As the cost of living continues to soar, many seniors in Broomfield are struggling to make ends meet. Senior Resources of Broomfield (SRB) is working harder than ever to bridge these gaps through vital programs such as Meals on Wheels, EasyRide, and other community-based services.
To fund this critical work, SRB is preparing for its two largest annual fundraising events in just a few weeks: the Broomfield Days Golf Tournament and the Broomfield Days Car Show. These community-favorite events not only bring people together but also provide essential funding for programs that directly support older adults facing increasing financial strain.
“We rely on our two biggest fundraisers to help fund our programs,” said Teryl Fabry, Executive Director of SRB. “The needs have really climbed, especially since COVID.”
Community members and local businesses are encouraged to get involved by participating in the events, becoming a sponsor, or donating items for giveaways and prizes. This year’s golf tournament will be held on Saturday, September 19, at Eagle Trace Golf Club. Breakfast and coffee will be served starting at 7:00 a.m. followed by a modified scramble shotgun start at 8:00 a.m. Lunch and prizes will be distributed around 1:00 p.m. The event features fun contests, including a $20,000 hole-in-one prize and a $1 million shot contest, as well as skills competitions for the longest drive, closest to the pin, and putting.
Individual golf registration is $150 and foursomes are $600. Sponsorships ranging from $100 to $1,500 are available and include recognition, signage, and on-site benefits.
The Broomfield Days Car Show, now in its 22nd year, will be held on Saturday, September 20, from 6:30 a.m. to
3:00 p.m.on the grass at South Midway Park. All makes, models, and years of vehicles are welcome. The show takes place adjacent to the popular Broomfield Days Parade, offering great exposure for participants and sponsors.
Visitors can vote for their favorite vehicle, and there will be awards, including a Kids’ Choice Award and a Senior Favorite Award. Registration is $25 per vehicle, and sponsorships range from $100 to $5,000, offering benefits such as booth space, car display spots, logo recognition, DJ mentions, and more.
Broomfield’s seniors are invited to attend the car show.
“We try to make the car show an easy, fun experience for seniors,” said Fabry. “We partner with the City of Broomfield to pick them up, set up shaded seating in front of Nativity Church, and even offer volunteers to walk with them around the show.”
Established in 1982, SRB is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that addresses the complex and growing needs of Broomfield's older adults. As the cost of living continues to rise, SRB’s work is becoming more essential each year. Funds raised from these events help support Meals on Wheels, Project Homecoming (free meals for those recovering from hospital stays), Lakeshore Café meal subsidies, birthday lunches and goodie bags for senior celebrants, transportation services through the EasyRide program and assistance with medical supplies and equipment for low-income seniors.
“Every sponsorship or registration supports someone’s parent, grandparent, or neighbor,” said Fabry. “This is about ensuring our seniors don’t have to choose between food, medicine, and independence.”

Protecting Our Water SystemDon’t Put that Down the Drain!
The next time you’re cleaning up after dinner, pay attention to what’s going down the drain. There are things that, when put down the drain, can cause serious plumbing problems or harm the environment and our water system.
Fats, oils, and grease — or FOG — is food waste that should not go down the drain. This includes cooking oil, pan drippings, gravy, bacon grease, lard, shortening, butter, margarine, salad dressings, mayonnaise, creams, and sauces.
It is best to use your garbage disposal sparingly. Do not use your garbage disposal as a substitute for the trash can. It is best to dispose of grease and food scraps by scraping them into a can or the trash. Be especially careful with pasta, potatoes, and other starchy foods. Starch and water make a paste, which can clog pipes.
Be even more careful with what goes down the kitchen drain if you don’t have a disposal. Put strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids and empty the strainers into the trash for disposal. Even non-greasy food scraps can clog your home’s wastewater lines, so it is best to avoid putting food of any kind down your drain.
There are simple steps everyone can take to avoid costly clogs, protect public health and keep our water clean.
• Never pour FOG — fats, oil, or grease — down sinks, drains, or into toilets.
Recycle used cooking oil or pour it into a sealable container and place it in the trash. If you have a lot of oil, mix it with cat litter a little at a time
By The City and County of Broomfield
and pour it in a sealed bag in the trash.
Don’t run water over dishes or cookware to wash oil or grease down the sink. Instead, wipe them with a paper towel and throw the towel in the trash. Don’t use cloth towels or rags to wipe greasy or oily dishware; when you wash the rags, the grease will end up in the sewer. If you need to rinse dishes, use cold water.
• Don’t flush any type of wipes down the commode, even the flushable ones. Food, grease, and hair can cling to them and build up more quickly in wastewater pipes.
• Do not dispose of medications down the drain - many are not removed by conventional treatment.
• Do not dispose of contact lenses down the drain - they contribute to microplastic pollution.
Do not flush needles or sharps down the drain - they greatly increase the potential for clogs and are a hazard to utility workers.
Do not dispose of household hazardous wastes like paint and fertilizers into drains. Putting items like these down the drain can clog pipes and cause sewer overflows and backups into homes, businesses and basements, or may release toxins into the water system. It costs thousands of dollars every year to unclog or replace blocked pipes, repair pump stations, and clean up costly wastewater spills. Your help is needed to keep these incompatible wastes out of the sewer system, which will protect the water system for the whole community and prevent plumbing problems for you.

Broomfield Expo Empowers Older Adults to Age Well
By Kristen Beckman
Aging well isn’t just about staying healthy—it’s about staying connected, informed, and inspired. That’s what Broomfield’s Living in Balance: Aging Well Expo aims to deliver once again this fall. Set for Friday, October 10, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Broomfield Community Center, this annual event is a celebration of the vibrant lives older adults are living and a roadmap to help them keep going strong.
“This isn’t just an event—it’s a celebration of community, connection, and the many ways we can age well together,” said Nikki Crouse, Senior Services Manager for the City and County of Broomfield. “When older adults feel supported, inspired, and connected, the whole community benefits.”
Whether you’re a senior, a caregiver, or simply planning ahead, this free expo is designed to offer something for everyone.
The day kicks off at 8:00 a.m. with a complimentary continental breakfast and a keynote presentation from Dr. Margit Cox Henderson, psychologist, speaker, and award-winning author of Optimistic Aging and From Hope to Habit. Dr. Henderson will challenge attendees to shift their mindset around aging, debunk common myths, and share powerful tools for building long-term resilience.
Following the keynote presentation will be five breakout sessions that offer knowledge, tools, and ideas to support every aspect of aging well, including self-protection, strength, and confidence; hearing’s role in cognitive longevity and quality of life; protecting yourself from fraud, schemes, and scams; a chat with master gardeners; and a panel on senior living options and what they offer.
In addition to the breakout sessions, the vendor fair and resource showcase will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., featur-

ing representatives from more than 40 local organizations and city departments. Attendees can learn about everything from transportation to veterans' services to volunteer opportunities. The day will wrap up with a door prize giveaway.
Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. in Lakeshore Café, but registration is required. Reserve your seat by visiting B-REx. com or calling 303-464-5500 (option 8) while space remains.
The expo is a collaborative effort, hosted by Broomfield’s Senior Services Division with support from numerous city departments.
“Our Education and Volunteer Coordinator, Michelle Peterson, has done a fantastic job shaping and improving this event each year,” said Crouse. “Now in her second year as the point person, her attention to detail has been instrumental in making the day a success.”

The Eras of FRIENDS
FRIENDS of Broomfield Celebrates 20 Years of Variety
By Melissa Ruzicka
There’s No Business Like Show Business”—and FRIENDS of Broomfield is proving just that as they take the stage for their 20th Annual Variety Show on Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at the Parsons Theatre in Northglenn. The milestone theme, The Eras of FRIENDS, will take the audience on a journey through time, celebrating the organization’s story from its founding in 1998 to the exciting future that lies ahead.
The variety show, which began in 2006 with just five participants and a handful of volunteers, has blossomed into one of Broomfield’s most cherished traditions. Over the years, the stage has been filled with everything from heartfelt solos to show-stopping group numbers, all performed by FRIENDS participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Past themes have included The Beatles, Michael Jackson, and The Greatest Showman—a performance that deeply resonated with participants through the anthem “This Is Me.” This year, audiences will relive highlights from the last 19 shows while also enjoying fresh performances of uplifting hits like Katy Perry’s Firework and Katrina and The Waves’ Walking on Sunshine. Together, the music tells the story of FRIENDS across two decades: a story of hope, joy, resilience, and community.

Joining the leadership team this year are Sarah Nickles and Cynthia Stadd, who bring fresh energy to the show. Cynthia, an experienced performer with years of off-Broadway credits in New York, is co-choreographing alongside FRIENDS Founder and CEO, Gina Coufal. Their collaboration, along with returning leaders Rabin Walters and Brigitte Hipp, has infused the 20th anniversary production with creativity, polish, and excitement.
For the families and participants who call FRIENDS home, the Variety Show is more than just an afternoon of entertainment. It is an opportunity to shine, to be celebrated, and to share talents with a community that has supported them for over 20 years. Many families describe the annual show as one of the highlights of the year, a reminder of how far FRIENDS has
As FRIENDS celebrates this milestone, they are also looking toward a bold future. With the recent purchase of land across the street from their current location, the organization is preparing for a capital campaign that will fund the construction of a new building. This expansion will allow FRIENDS to broaden programs, strengthen behavioral supports, and launch a social enterprise where participants can build the vocational skills they need to achieve their dream jobs.
Now in its 27th year, FRIENDS continues to provide person-centered opportunities through day services, residential support, employment programs, social activities, and more— enriching the lives of over 200 adults in our community.
Don’t miss this milestone celebration as FRIENDS take audiences through The Eras of FRIENDS. Join the fun Sunday, October 12, at 3:00 p.m. at the Parsons Theatre, 1 E. Memorial Parkway in Northglenn, for an unforgettable afternoon of music, dance, and inspiration.
Tickets are $30 and available now at www.friendsofbroomfield.org.
Apple Picking, Anyone?
By Lisa Payne
eptember is the weird month where it’s not really summer and not really fall. Some may still be having BBQs and others are diving into their pumpkin spice lattes. Do what you may, and while at it, please incorporate some of the season’s peak produce into your menu planning. I picked fresh apples from my in law’s apple trees in Montana recently. They have the coolest apple picker. At the end of a long pole is a metal basket with fingers at the top to grab the apples which conveniently land in the basket. I learned quickly not to stand under the tree when doing this or you will get hit with falling apples.
We brought home a huge bag of apples and have been using them like crazy. When intentional about eating what is ripe, your heart and natural rhythm of the season unite to make foods where you really feel the love.
Enjoy the fresh apples in season, and maybe even take your kids to pick them fresh at a local orchard.
Easy Apple Coleslaw
(for those of you still BBQing)
Ingredients
• 3 cups chopped cabbage
• 1 unpeeled red apple, cored and chopped
• 1 unpeeled Granny Smith apple, cored and chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• ½ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste

• 1 tablespoon of organic cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons of apple butter
• 1 cup of strong brewed coffee

Directions
To make the dressing, mix mayonnaise, brown sugar, and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Pour dressing over cabbage mixture; mix until evenly coated.
Bring milk, sugar, and apple butter to a low simmer on medium heat until the apple butter is well blended and the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat.
Add coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon to milk mixture.
Whisk until well blended, you can also use an emulsion blender.
Pour into mugs.
Add dash of cinnamon and garnish with a cinnamon stick for an added bonus.
Grandma’s Apple Crisp
Ingredients
• 6 apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten free flour)
• ½ cup cold butter
Directions
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Toss apples with white sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl to coat; pour into a 9-inch square baking dish.
Mix brown sugar, oats, flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a separate bowl.
Cut in cold butter with two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread over apples and pat down gently until even.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and sides are bubbling, about 40 minutes.
Serve and enjoy.
