Summer is here and the fun never stops.
Welcome to my monthly newsletter, usually published by the first business day of each month, featuring Breckenridge, Colorado News and Events plus other Rocky Mountain News.  Here you will find information about our Summit County schools, government, skiing and summer activities.  There is information on ski homes, golf homes, lake front properties and mountain homes from resort to remote. You will also find out about real estate news trends and tips. Mostly you will find good news about this fantastic community and you will learn that it's not just the scenery that makes it a great lifestyle, it's the people.

Fourth of July parades bring out the best in everyone.
**We have fireworks and free concerts too.**

Swimming is one of my favorite summer activities.  I prefer a heated pool though. Check out:
Best of The Rockies.com for other great places to swim.

Golf is a fan favorite, you should see how far the ball travels at this altitude!

The Riverwalk center in Breckenridge is home to two symphonies and lots of other great entertainment.

Breckenridge, GENUINE ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS

Huge Announcement!!!! Breckenridge Ski Resort will soon begin working on a master plan to bring skiing to Peak 6! The ski area and the Nordic Center recently worked out a deal to adjust boundaries to make the access to Peak 6 possible. The ski area took about 300 acres from the Nordic Center that was not suitable for cross-country skiing. Peak 6 is within the ski area’s permit area but specific lifts and trails will have to be planned and approved as well as undergo a public comment period. Contained in the deal is an agreement that The Nordic Center will be allowed free gondola rides for its patrons. The two entities are also looking at closer marketing ties.

Whattodo in Breckenridge in the summer? Wow, check out my schedule of events and you will find the fun just never ends here. Also check out the Breckenridge Recreation Center for programs for all ages. Little ones have the Tiny Adventurers’ Summer Club, Teens have the Adventure Programs and oldsters have Cycling for Boomers and “Over the Hill Water Fitness”. These are just a few of the offerings. There are also two pools, tennis courts and a fantastic skate park. Finally don’t forget the Breckenridge Golf Club with 27 holes of championship golf and one of the prettiest decks on earth for a great outdoor luncheon. If you need more answers the Breckenridge Welcome Center on Main St. at Washington Park can take care of everything.

If you like to work outdoors and believe our backcountry is a vital part of the Breckenridge experience then you may be interested in the French Gulch Project. In cooperation with The Friends of Breckenridge Trails and Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, the project hopes to gather 200 volunteers for a weekend of massive improvements to trails in the area. What a great way to spend a family weekend! It happens July 29 and 30, call 970-547-3155 to sign up.

The Arts District on the NE corner of S. Ridge and E. Washington continues to grow with the relocation of the historic Quandary Antiques building and restoration of the Fuqua Livery Stable. The goal is to create a home for resident artists occupying studios and presenting workshops. Don’t miss the Arts District Celebration July 2 nd .

The new town council is responding to the pulse of the locals. The two biggest issues on the minds of the voters are childcare and affordable housing. The council is looking into the possibility of building its own childcare facility or building and partnering with an operator. The affordable housing issue will be studied as a top priority to see where the focus should be. Also on the minds of the council are encouraging builders to go green and continuing to purchase open space before land costs get completely out of hand.

The Breckenridge Sanitation District won an EPA environmental achievement award for its “remarkable commitment to protecting the Blue River Basin”. The award is just the latest in a long legacy of protecting water quality. The BSD has won five national and five regional Clean Water Act awards for its operation and management.
