It is that time of year again Red Hawk Ranch Residents, the time when we all pile into the Denver Civic Center Park for a taste of what some of the best Colorado Restaurants and Vendors have to offer.

Admission to A Taste of Colorado is Free, but you do have to purchase tickets for food. Tickets are cash only, but there are a bunch of ATMs. So make sure you bring plenty of cash and if you want to go there for food Friday- Monday I won’t judge.

It is really hard to choose between foods, but I really love the Colorado Corn Companies Corn on the Cob with Mayo. Hey, don’t knock it until you try it! If mayo covered corn is not your thing, don’t fret, there are plenty of great options.

Here is just a small sampling of the vendors participating:

• 528 degrees
• Bayou Bob’s
• Colorado Buffalo Grill
• Divine Donuts
• Saltwater Cowboy

And a ton more, will you be going Red Hawk Ranch Residents.

Ok, I know that we live in Colorado, but sometimes, I really miss how my hair looks right after I went swimming in the ocean. (Sorry guys, this post is not for you) You know, how your hair is instantly perfectly wavy?

Well, I have discovered an at home solution for perfect waves. Combine one cup salt with 2 cups water into a spray bottle and spritz on your hair. I think it works best on dry hair, but that is just me. Scrunch and go. Perfect beach hair for the day. 

Make sure if you do this though that you don’t skip washing your hair that night or the next morning. I like to wash my hair with my shampoo and then use a beer treatment on it. Basically, use a bottle of beer as conditioner, pour it over your hair, wait a minute and wash out. (Make sure you take it out of the fridge hours before).

What are some of your hair tips, Red Hawk Ranch Residents?

If I were to pick my favorite amenity of all the great ones that we offer here at Red Hawk Ranch Apartments, I might have to go with the Theatre Room. It has a huge screen and seating for 16!

Did you know that the Theatre Room is open during Business hours and is available on a first come first serve basis?

That’s right on a rainy or snow day you can watch your favorite movie on a big screen again.

I am a huge Rush fan and they are playing two shows at Red Rocks! The first one is today and they have another one on Wednesday. Tickets are still available through LiveNation. There will be no opener, because Geddy Lee and the boys don’t need one. They are that good!

My favorite Rush song is probably Tom Sawyer. Rush got a new wave of fans after being featured most recently in I Love You, Man. (Slapa the bass). Rush was originally put together in 1968. They are the ultimate Canadian import! (You hear that Crosby)!

The show starts promptly at 8pm and no bottles are allowed at the event. Will you go see Rush?

This Thursday, Red Hawk Ranch will be having our Back to School Bash. Join us in the clubhouse from 10-12. We will be playing School of Rock in the theater, as well as having a raffle for new backpacks and giveaways with free school supplies.

We hope that everyone has a great school year this year!

School of Rock stars Jack Black as a musician who gets kicked out of his band right before a big battle of the bands and takes a teaching gig to teach elementary school children.

Please join us for this fun event!

My cat loves to scratch my sofa. It is a really annoying habit and now that I am in the market for a new one, I am determined to stop this unpleasant habit. I have been reading up on the subject and it seems that the best way to stop is to get him a substitute and then put double sided tape on my existing furniture to rid him before I get the new one.

Has anyone had much luck with this? And what material makes the best scratch post?

Remember, Red Hawk Ranch is Pet Friendly!

Occasionally, I like most people have issues falling asleep. Most of the time, it is because I have so many things on my mind. If you use technology right before bed, it can cause you to not be able fall asleep as fast as you normally would be able to. Eating right before bed can also have this affect.

If you find you are having trouble falling asleep, because your mind is racing and you are thinking about all the things you have to do tomorrow. Try keeping a journalby your bed in order to write down your thoughts. It should help you fall asleep.

Or, try listening to classical music to fall asleep. Or whatever music works best for you. I like Vivaldi and Willie Nelson.

Does your morning cup of joe, do something good for your Community? The Thornton Fire Department has created a special blend of coffee that they are selling to raise money for the Thornton Fire Foundation. The partnered with Allegro Coffee right here in Thornton to help create the blend. You can only buy First Alarm at the Fire Administration Office located in City Hall.

The coffee is a medium blend and is $10.00 per bag. It is actually pretty yummy. It comes in the whole bean variety, but that is how I drink my coffee.

Allegro Coffee is a fantastic local brand of coffee that distributes nation wide.
