Upcoming Events

Tot Gym for Grandparents & Grandchildren at the Senior Center

Calling all grandparents! Bring your grandchild or grandchildren to the Senior Center on Thursday, July 9 and Thursday, August 13 from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM for Tot Gym! The Senior Center gym will have balls, blocks, a mini-obstacle course and other fun activities for you and your little one to play with.

Drop-in admission is $2.50 per child. Grandparents are admitted free. No pre-registration is required. Parents are welcome too.

Paint A Horse Project

An artist has been selected and chosen to paint a white horse for Fort Collins. And she wants your help to decorating it!

Local artist J.J. Edwards' idea for the horse is called a “Blog Pony.” It is a unique way of looking at ourselves and creating a record that will be frozen in time. You can record your thoughts, your art, your experiences, your family and your friends on the horse.

All ages are invited to submit a 7” by 7” square to be applied to the horse that will be permanently installed outside the Senior Center. The overall horse design will resemble a patchwork quilt. Each 7”x 7” panel can be designed by you. Within the guidelines below, create a visual expression of the interaction of your life with the community at large. You may submit as many panels as you would like. Not all squares will be used. All square submissions will be reviewed and selected by the artist and staff.
