What a year it has been! As the holidays draw near, it’s a good time to reflect on the journey thus far and what 2017 may bring. This past spring Loudmouth Media launched two new magazines. This expanded our reach to an additional 35,000 homes and businesses - meaning that we now reach a combined total of 220,000 mailboxes with our publications. Time and again, our readers tell me that Spotlight® is THE magazine that they look forward to receiving. It is a pleasure to publish it for you. We strive to produce the highest quality and most original direct mail magazine in the area. Why? Because small businesses and local organizations need to connect with people like you. But, Spotlight® is more than just a collection of coupons - it is a go-to source for local stories, local deals and local connection. Spotlight® helps keep money in the local economy and encourages community connection, uniqueness and prosperity. I am grateful that you are one of our readers. Be sure to tell our advertisers you “saw them in the Spotlight®!”
Happy Holidays!

NOW – DECEMBER 23 I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
DECEMBER 02 - JANUARY 01
Set in 1969, the Bright family prepares for their annual Christmas variety show, one of the most-watched and anticipated television events of the year. In the midst of rehearsals, they welcome their eldest son home from war. A decorated hero, and former teen idol, Simon is challenged by his return to civilian life. Featuring rich costumes, great dance numbers and excited new music along with seasonal favorites, this is a holiday music spectacular for the whole family. Show times vary at Aravada Center for the Arts and Humanities, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. in Aravda. Visit www.ArvadaCenter.org to purchase tickets.
ZOO LIGHTS Light up your holiday with a wild visit to Denver Zoo’s 26th annual Zoo Lights celebration. Guests of this popular holiday tradition will experience a light safari with 60 brilliantly-illuminated acres of lights, featuring more than 150 animated animal sculptures that swing through trees, jump across lawns, hide in bushes and appear in places where they’re least expected. This year, the event will incorporate the Zoo’s traveling exhibit, “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea,” featuring 15 giant sculptures of marine life around the park made almost entirely from trash collected from beaches. Visit www. DenverZoo.org for details and to purchase tickets.

Tree Recycling Contact your municipality or recycling center about Christmas tree-recycling. Following the holidays, most municipalities and some Homeowner’s Associations collect trees. Look online for recycle options. Some 93% of Christmas trees are recycled and turned into mulch for landscapes, gardens or chipped for use in playgrounds and hiking trails.

K
evin Marks, certified arborist and manager at The Davey Tree Expert Company, advises buying from an established, reputable retailer. “The best thing you can do is go to a reputable nursery or Christmas tree lot when buying a fresh tree,” he says. “The bigger retailers offer fresher trees.” Marks added that it’s important to smell and feel the branches. “Needles falling off aren’t a good sign,” he said. And while it’s a lovely tree and designated as Colorado’s state tree, the blue spruce really is not the best choice for a holiday tree given their sharp needles. His choice? Marks favorite, he says, is the Fraser fir. Its mild fragrance, appealing shape, strong limbs, and ability to retain its soft needles (meaning, they don’t prick like blue spruce when hanging ornaments) make it one of the best trees for this purpose. This fir has dark green needles, 1/2 to 1 inch long. The Fraser fir has excellent needle retention along with a nice scent. Fraser fir was named for Scot botanist John Fraser who explored the southern Appalachians in the late eighteenth century. Many of us like the ease and convenience of an artificial Christmas tree each season. But not Davey’s Kevin Marks. “Fresh trees smell like Christmas,” he said. Marks recommends Pine trees. In addition to the Fraser fir, a couple of others to consider include: Balsam, Noble and Douglas firs and Scotch pine. “They’re family friendly,” Marks adds.
Recycling options include: •
Call a nonprofit organization like the Boy Scouts to pick up your tree in exchange for a small donation.
•
Drop off your tree at a recycling center. Most counties have free drop-off locations.
•
Ask if you can have your tree chipped at a local garden center and use the chips yourself for ground cover or mulch.
•
Use Christmas tree trunks and branches for crafting or to edge a garden. Christmas tree needles make aromatic potpourris for fragrant décor.
•
Trees can be sunk into ponds or lakes to create habitat for fish. Small fish will hide in submerged trees for protection. However, do not randomly drop your tree off at a local pond.

Douglas fir with its slightly lemony, pineapple-like odor and light floral note is another good Christmas tree choice for families. Douglas firs grow into a coneshaped naturally, have 1 to 1-1/2-inch needles that are lasting and offer a sweet scent. Fraser fir and Douglas fir are the staple Christmas trees for the largest retail sellers. Balsam fir is another good choice to bring indoors for the holidays. Balsams are beautifully pyramid-shaped trees with short, flat, long-lasting, aromatic needles. If you’re looking for a tree that can hold heavier Christmas tree ornaments, consider the Noble fir, with its upturned needles. The tree is known for its beauty, has a long cut life and offers stiff branches. But the choices don’t stop there. Scotch pine trees offer a long-lasting aroma that lingers through the entire season. Scotch pine does not drop needles when dry, making it an appealing tree choice to many. The reason many of us choose a real Christmas tree is because of the scent. Marks said he likes the evergreen forest smell. “Real trees smell green. They smell like you’re outside,” he explained. A freshly cut tree should last between four and six weeks if attended to properly.
Get your tree to water quickly – ideally within an hour or two of bringing it home. Keep the bottom two inches of the trunk submerged in water. “Trees will drink a gallon of water within the first couple of days,” said Marks. Some people prefer to add a tablespoon or so of sugar to freshly cut flowers and holiday trees. “Some say it aides in absorption,” he said. Less popular is buying a real potted Christmas tree with its root ball. Marks doesn’t recommend this, but advised if your tree is potted in soil, keep it inside only two days because you don’t want it to acclimate to the warmer temperature. This makes transferring the tree into your (most likely frozen) Colorado yard difficult for you and traumatic for your tree.

WinterFun IDEAS FOR FAMILIES By Kristen Beckman
As the air begins to feel frosty, parents everywhere may be experiencing momentary panic imagining what they will do with energetic but bored kids stuck indoors on forthcoming snowy days. Luckily, Colorado rarely serves up weather so inclement that kids can’t get out and have at least a little fun in the snow. And on the rare day that venturing outside is too scary, there are plenty of ways to celebrate winter in the cozy indoors.
Here are a few ideas to help your family chase away the winter doldrums:
SKATE ON ICE
Located at the Steinbaugh Pavilion in downtown Louisville, WinterSkate offers an old-fashioned ice skating experience complete with holiday music and convenient skate rental and concessions. The facility is open daily from Thanksgiving through the end of February. Cap off a fun day of skating with a free horse-drawn carriage ride around downtown Louisville courtesy of the Louisville Downtown Business Association. Pickup is at the skating rink and rides are offered through Jan. 1. (www.downtownlouisvilleco.com/winterskate) If indoor ice skating is more your speed, check out the Ice Centre at the Promenade in Westminster. In addition to public skating times, the facility offers a variety of family-friendly events, including movie nights and skating lessons, as well as drop-in hockey sessions. (www.icecentre.com) Another indoor skating option is the Apex Center Ice Arena in Arvada. The facility offers public skating hours daily, including skate rental, as well as a variety of learn-to-skate classes for all levels from parent/tot duos to adults. (http:// apexprd.org/activities/ice-skating)
EXPLORE THE ARTS
When the weather is just too cold to go outside, think about taking in a show or concert at the Art Underground. The nonprofit organization offers dance, theater, art and film programs that all ages will enjoy at its locations in downtown Louisville and Old Town Lafayette. Shows and events are put on by youth talent, community groups and professional performers. Recent shows included Shrek The Musical Junior and the Little Mermaid. In addition to performances, the Art Underground and Arts Hub facilities offer art classes for kids of all ages and interests from a session focused on making art with Legos to a class themed around Shopkins projects. (www.artunder.org)

VISIT A MUSEUM
Chilly winter days are a perfect opportunity to check out one of the local museums with activities and exhibits designed for children and families. The WOW! Children’s Museum in Lafayette provides educational, interactive exhibits, programs and activities. Among the many exhibits that will captivate your child is The Little Clinic, which uses play to teach kids about the heart and bones along with wellness topics such as nutrition and vitamins. The Bubbles exhibit gives kids a chance to explore science and physics concepts by allowing them to try to surround themselves in a giant bubble. (http:// wowchildrensmuseum.org)
SNUGGLE UP WITH A GOOD BOOK
Cold days are some of the best days for visiting your local library to find a great book to read when the weather is too cold or wet for outside play. Librarians are eager to help children find just the right book at the right reading level that appeals to their interests with the hope of inspiring a lifelong love of reading. Libraries are also great at developing a variety of engaging programming throughout the winter and all year long, including story times, movies, classes and author meet and greets. Anythink Libraries, for example, offers classes for kids that range from sewing to STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math). The library has several locations in Thornton. (www.anythinklibraries.org)
THINK AHEAD TO SPRING While most backyard creatures head for warmer weather during Colorado’s winter months, your family can still enjoy a touch of spring at the Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster. The facility is home to thousands of butterflies and other creatures, including sea stars, turtles, birds and fish. The facility is open daily. (More information available at www.butterflies.org)
CELEBRATE WINTER AT HOME
Of course, you don’t have to leave home to learn, explore and celebrate winter. Kids can celebrate winter at home by making ice cream out of snow, building an igloo or snowman, or even cutting out paper snowflakes to decorate their bedroom.
