There's always so much going on in Olde Town Arvada that I don't make it out to every event. But I've already got Colorado Tartan Day on my calendar, so hopefully I'll be able to come back with some fine pictures later!
For now, I just want to let everyone know about:

**** Did you know there's an official Coloradan tartan? ***
I don't know how to get it yet, I found these pictures on www.tartanhedgie.com, but none of their links are live.

And here’s a little intro to Olde Town Arvada.
Gardeners might enjoy my posts about gardening in Denver to Boulder’s front range.
I write posts on real estate issues and local events in the Denver metro area, especially those communities between Denver and Boulder, as a public service. My hope is to give people an idea of the ‘flavor’ of our community, in case they’re new or moving to the Denver area.
I am a residential real estate agent, happily helping folks buy a house or sell a house in the beautiful and friendly suburbs northwest of Denver.
