Fort Collins, Colorado is known for many wonderful things: top city to retire in, tons of bars and restaurants to enjoy, pet-friendly businesses and parks, CSU, music and breweries - but the Howe murder too?! A first in our cozy city's history, and the townspeople made it clear they weren't fans of evil crimes...

But wait, there's more! We also hear wild stories and experiences from member and event coordinator of our 100-year old Masonic Temple, Josh Hogg.

We share good news about animals during these challenging times in human history, and we cheers with delicous drink and food.
