Lobsterfest In Niwot, Colorado
by Paula King, Niwot Real Estate Expert
It is that time of year again. Throughout Colorado, communities come together in the summer for concerts, parades, parties and festivals. Now, this may seem like an oddity. But, last Saturday, Niwot celebrated its annual Lobster Bash. Yes, it was old fashioned lobster clambake in cowboy country!
This year, the local Maine Connection flew in 600 lobsters and downtown Niwot’s main artery became one big dining room. There was music and dancing on a picture perfect night. Most of all there was a great community feeling. Read more
Beazer to Leave Colorado
By Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
In a May 28 memo addressed to all "Trade Partners", Beazer homes, 
a national home builder with developments here in Denver, has announced it will close its Colorado division. The effective date is October 31, 2008.
We received a copy of the memo which states that most land development activities will cease now and by September all models and sales operations will be closed. However, Beazer will complete all houses and town homes that have been started. It will not start to build any new units.
Colorado Cemetery History
By Paula King, Northern Denver Suburbs Expert
I love the rich history of Colorado that I find within just a few miles of my suburban Denver home. Sometimes, I find our history in unusual places.
Not too long ago, I was leisurely driving down County Line Road, which divides Weld and Boulder Counties northwest of Downtown Denver. As I glanced to my left I saw what looked to be like an old cemetery, which I had never noticed before. I pulled off the road and had a peek. It looked like Boot Hill but it was Pleasantview Cemetery.
And what terrific views it has! Across meadows to Long’s Peak, one of the famous "14ers" of the Rocky Mountains. It only holds 14 graves, was covered with tall weeds and had gravestones dating from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s.
Erie Town Fair
by Paula King, Erie Colorado Realtor 
One thing I missed when I moved from Canfield, Ohio to Los Angeles was our county fair. I thought a corn dog was the most amazing food I had ever eaten. Now that I live in another small town, I am looking forward to the 12th annual Erie Town Fair scheduled for May 17th.
Springtime in Erie, Colorado
by Paula King, Erie Colorado Specialist
One of the perks of living in Erie is the annual Tree Incentive Program. The town subsidizes up to $125 per family for a tree purchased at one of the many local tree farms. They pay half the cost of the tree, with the aforementioned cap.
It is a great way to encourage tree growth in the area and a terrific community spirit builder. There are 700 certificates available, with a cap of $87,000. All you have to do is call the hotline at 303/926-2739 to register.
New Denver Jobs
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
The Denver economy has been sustained by steady job growth and the resulting relocation of employees to fill a portion of those jobs. Now, more jobs are moving here.
Three major employers have recently announced expanding their businesses to the Denver metro area. The net effect will be thousands of new jobs over the next few years. Charles Schwab, ConocoPhillips and VMware will be bringing more jobs to the Denver suburbs.
Boulder’s Wheel Deal
by Paula King, Boulder Colorado Real Estate Expert
Boulder has attempted to discourage automobile traffic for a long time. One of its most popular attractions is the pedestrian mall, Pearl Street Mall.
Visit www.boulder.downtown.com. Public parking garages are a bargain, with free parking on the weekends. Now, there is contest for better bicycle racks.
Crocs In Niwot
by Paula King, Niwot Real Estate Expert
Got Crocs? I do, two pairs. My husband thought they were the ugliest thing he ever saw on a person’s foot. He now has two pairs. All my grandchildren and, if they are lucky, clients children have them. Now, they can be seen on the feet of needy people around the world.
Excitment In Erie
by Paula King, Erie Colorado Realtor
I am excited by what’s been happening in my community recently. We have always been considered the "what?" of high-end Denver suburbs. But, all that is changing.
Erie experienced overflow crowds over the last two weekends with the much-anticipated openings of the 64,000 square foot Erie Community Center and the Erie Community Library.
Lafayette Charter School
by Paula King, Lafayette, Colorado real estate expert.
When helping people find just the right home in Denver’s northern suburbs, I have found that schools become a priority for many Buyers. 
This week U. S. News and World Report chose Lafayette’s Peak to Peak Charter School as one of the best in the country. Lafayette is a charming suburb located half way between downtown Denver and Boulder. It’s public schools are fairly well ranked already. But, this charter school is really amazing.
