What’s your favorite ice-cold indulgence? Sorbet? Ice cream? Sherbet? We scoured the internet for the best, tastiest, fat-free to fat-full recipes for creamy, dreamy, fruity frozen desserts. You’ll need an ice cream machine for some of these recipes, and you can get one at the Walmart in Lafayette on Hwy 287. But for others, all you need is a little sugar, flavoring and a freezer!
The weather held last Friday and Saturday for the 24th Annual Erie Balloon Festival. It was the first year in several for the festival which has been cancelled in previous years (in 2020 due to COVID and 2018 and 2019 due to rain) and spectators showed up in droves to witness the event.
Pilots arrived shortly after 5:00 a.m. to begin setting up, filling up and launching 32 balloons into the atmosphere over Colliers Hill. Here’s a look, for anyone who missed the spectacle from ground zero!
If you haven’t visited the master-planned community of Colliers Hill, it’s not just hot air balloons that are taking off here! With low maintenance paired homes built by KB Home, plus a variety of single family floor plans from Century Communities and Richmond American Homes — life is just better on the Hill! This fast-growing new home community in Northern Colorado has lots of exciting amenities and the beautiful model homesshowcase three top Colorado builders – soon to be four with the addition of Boulder Creek. It’s still a great time to buy – without competition and bidding wars. Priced from the high $300s.
The Erie Chamber’s largest event of 2021 combines the Town Fair in Downtown Erie with the Hot Air Balloon Festival – now in its 24th year. For the first time ever, the hot air balloons will launch from right here in Colliers Hill! You’ll want to wake up early and grab your lawn chairs and blankets to watch 25-30 balloons take to the morning air!
