Phil said people are also welcome to drop by, have a cup of coffee and ask any questions they may have about their car. “Cars are an expensive investment and so you need to rely on someone else to give you honest answers,” White said. Phil also credits his years of winning to his skilled mechanics and staff.

With so many venues for live music, this is a competitive category. The Greeley Stampede wins this year for its many concert offerings, which have included Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Def Leppard , Kid Rock and a variety of other artists. The Kress, a smaller venue, has featured many local artists in its lounge on the weekends, and downtown is a great place in the summer to catch live acts.

One of Greeley’s oldest parks, Glenmere, located near the University of Northern Colorado campus, has it all: Old towering trees, sloping green grass, a lake featuring birds from mallards to night herons, a historic pavilion and the scenery that makes it the perfect picnic spot. After you eat, be sure to take a walk around this beautiful park and neighborhood.

Weld County Missile Silo Park
Colorado has a plethora of beautiful sights to see in the car, but it’s hard to dispute this year’s winner, the Big Thompson Canyon. The lower canyon walls of grey rock tower above the road as driver’s wind their way along the rushing Big Thompson River. The upper canyon widens, featuring tree covered hillsides. You might even catch a glimpse of Big Horn sheep along the way.
