Year of the Fort: What is the Deal? PDF Print E-mail

YearoftheFortLogo-1

 

If you could turn Fort Collins inside out, paint it a different color, and maybe let it age outside in all our wonderful Colorado sunshine, then you would have something that looks similar to The Bean Cycle/Matter Bookstore's Year of the Fort Culture Club. With some funding from our wonderful friends at Fort Fund, and ample doses of volunteer sweat and spit, we offer almost all of these experience for FREE!. For the past few months we've been holding various Townhall Meetings, going on Bicycle Army Bicycle Rides, and posting related content on this website.  Each month we narrow in on a specific subject--FOOD, WASTE, ENERGY--and do our best to provide ample opportunities to dive head first into the best of what our community has to offer.

May is upon us, and this month our sights are set on Transportation. Check back often for new content on railroads, keeping horses downtown, bicycle townhall meetings, and the Bicycle Army Ride of the Month.
