Big Thompson Canyon Association

Pancake Breakfast This Sunday, June 4

8 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The Big Thompson Canyon Association (BTCA) has been supporting the canyon community for over 80 years. Past activities have included support during disasters and fishery restocking. A current item under consideration is coordinating a river clean up project. We are also working to add new members as the 2013 flood, road construction, COVID and normal attrition have reduced our numbers. We are planning some fun programs for our monthly meetings, along with great food, good company and a chance to learn more about the canyon.

Now in its 53rd year, the Big Thompson Canyon Association Pancake Breakfast has become a tradition for many families. A Sunday trip up the Big Thompson Canyon and breakfast in the historic log building spells an enjoyable and inexpensive family outing. Advance tickets are only $9 for adults and $6 for children four to nine years of age; tickets are $1 more at the door. Little ones under four eat for free. The BTCA building is located about one mile east of Drake on US 34. Check our Facebook page for updates at www.facebook.com/BTCA1479/ To inquire about advance tickets or with any other questions you can email btcassn1479@gmail.com.

There are more activities than just the all you can eat breakfast (which includes eggs, breakfast meats, juice and coffee in addition to pancakes). BTCA members host a bake sale; proceeds from the pancake breakfast and bake sale will fund the BTCA during the year, helping maintain the building and provide a central gathering place for the local community year-round.

This year our charity raffle is back!

The Loveland High Band Boosters club is organizing the raffle and the proceeds will benefit the band. Tickets will be available at the door. There will be a wide range of prizes donated by local businesses and individuals.

The Big Thompson Canyon Volunteer Fire Department (BTCVFD) hosts a craft show next door at the firehouse and assists with parking and logistics. Participants are local crafters whose table fees this year will go to the BTCA building maintenance fund. Our building, constructed in 1948, has loads of character. At 75 years old, however, a number of parts are wearing out. We’re working to ensure that the building stays around for use by the community for another 75 years!

We look forward to seeing many friends at the breakfast!

Priest To Speak About His Walk Across The United States At St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church

In 2019, The Rev. Peter Munson walked across the United States, raising money for four different organizations that do great work on behalf of children. The project was called 6 Million Steps for Kids. Munson walked 3,377 miles over 8-1/2 months, beginning in Charleston, South Carolina and finishing in San Francisco. He will give a short talk about the project and facilitate a question-and-answer session at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church on Sunday, June 4th, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. Admission is free and all are invited.

The church is located at 880 MacGregor Avenue (www.stbartsepiscopalchurch.org).
