LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Eric Lucas, Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture
Summer is nearly in the rearview mirror, and the magic of fall is straight ahead! For many, fall means the return of school, football, leaves changing and elk bugling in the mountains. Fall for our department means the end of some programs and the start of many new ones. Our fall lineup of programs and events are sure to offer something for everyone! Make sure you check out events like the Harvest Festival, Pumpkin Plunge and Winter Wonderland (yes, I used the word winter), as well as the many trips, exhibits, sports and classes we have to offer. While I am sure everyone will continue to enjoy the great outdoors and our fabulous parks and trail system well toward late October, be sure to check Eric Lucas, M.S., CPRP out all of the Windsor Community Recreation Center's offerings as we Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture head into 2018. elucas@windsorgov.com

Active Adults Day Trips and Tours ‘Something Rotten’ at the Buell Theatre, Denver With 10 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical, “Something Rotten!” is a “big, fat hit!” (New York Post). Set in the ’90s — the 1590s — this hilarious smash tells the story of Nick and Nigel Bottom (Tony-nominee Rob McClure and Broadway’s Josh Grisetti), two brothers who are desperate to write their own hit play while the “rock star,” Shakespeare, (Tony-nominee Adam Pascal) keeps getting all the hits. When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first MUSICAL! With its heart on its ruffled sleeve and sequins in its soul, “'Something Rotten!' is 'The Producers' + 'Spamalot' + 'The Book of Mormon'. Squared!” (New York Magazine).

Stanley Hotel Tour, Estes Park
Celestial Seasonings, Boulder
The Stanley Tour brings to life the hotel’s history and architecture, as well as some of its most notable spirits. See the beautiful state rooms, the hallways of the haunted fourth floor and the tunnel that allowed servants to enter and exit the building unseen. Learn about how the Stanley inspired Stephen King’s fictional Overlook Hotel in his bestselling novel “The Shining.”
From raw ingredients to finished products, you’ll learn all about the wonderful world of tea and see how wholesome products are blended, packaged and shipped.

There has never been a better time to experience “Chicago,” Broadway’s razzle-dazzle smash. This triumphant hit musical is the recipient of six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy, thousands of standing ovations, and is now the No. 1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history. “Chicago” has everything that makes Broadway great: a universal tale of fame, fortune and all that jazz; one show-stopping song after another; and the most astonishing dancing you've ever seen. It’s no surprise that “Chicago” has wowed audiences from Mexico City to Moscow, from Sao Paulo to South Africa. And now it’s returning to Denver. Whether you're looking for your first Broadway musical, whether you've seen the Academy Award-winning film and want to experience the show live on stage, or whether you've seen it before and want to recapture the magic, “Chicago” always delivers! Dinner is on your own before the show begins. Walking Level: Moderate Min/Max: 8/13 Registration Deadline: Friday before event

The 10-mile drive from Boulder takes you back 100 years and leads you through some of the most beautiful vistas in the Colorado Rockies.

Dinner is on your own, approximately $31-$38 per person.
