{Like the Chinese Year of the Horse, but without thousands of years of tradition and signs of the zodiac.}
The 2014 Alphagraphics calendar - celebrating local events in Northern Colorado, features just that, local events from Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley.
We know we are lucky to work and thrive in a community which values art, entertainment, culture and of course philanthropy, and celebrating a handful (more like a baker's dozen if you count the back page too) of some of our favorites every year seems like a good tradition.
A huge hunk of gratitude to our friend Heidi at
HeidiTown.com, the place for Colorado festival, event and travel information, for her wonderful suggestions and endorsements of multiple featured events in the calendar.

Looking to get your hands on one of these? Let us know and we will be sure to include it in your next job. Or, stop by one of our offices (5803 Lockheed Avenue in Loveland and 4320 W. 9th Street Road, Unit 1 in Greeley) to pick one up.
We wish our calendar could help you make the most of opportunities, provide good health and a year of harmony in your career and romance, like the Year of the Horse, but it's pretty much just a regular calendar that we think is kind of cool.
