Welcome to the Sweetheart City, Loveland, Colorado Loveland is the “Masterpiece” of Northern Colorado, possessing all the amenities of an urban population center, yet it still has its small town charm, friendliness and welcoming atmosphere. Loveland has long been known as the “Sweetheart City” because of its Valentine Re-mailing Program. However special this program is to our city, it’s the residents of Loveland who truly make Loveland the “Sweetheart City.” There are many things to do in our Sweetheart City – everything from the arts, shopping, outdoor activities and much more. Loveland is one of the top arts communities in our country. Receiving the Governor’s

Outstanding Arts Community Award in 2008, and being highly rated in articles in national publications, legitimizes this claim. Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, we know you will enjoy the many opportunities available in our city. If any of us on City Council, City Staff, or at the Chamber of Commerce can assist in making your visit to Loveland even more memorable, you can contact us personally. All contact information is on our City of Loveland website. Cecil A. Gutierrez Mayor

Community – The Loveland-Fort Collins area ranked seventh among the nation’s mid-sized cities in volunteering, according to a recent Volunteering in America report.

Caring hospice services and family support

Some people choose to visit Loveland as an art destination, while others are pleasantly surprised to learn of this art-enriched community when they arrive. The Sweetheart City provides a sculpture wonderland with just under 300 bronze sculptures positioned for viewing throughout the community. In Loveland, visitors and residents see sculptures on the way to the grocery store, in residential neighborhoods, in front of banks and offices, in parks and on playgrounds. In addition sculptures, paintings, photographs and fiber pieces of art embellish city buildings and local businesses. The area’s diverse mix of art makes the city a vibrant destination and residence. Loveland became the first Colorado city to pass an Art in Public Places ordinance, which was approved in 1985. This designates one percent of the city’s capital construction projects of $50,000 or more for the purchase of art. A nine-member, volunteer citizens’ committee, the Visual Arts Commission, oversees the City’s art acquisitions/donations and placements.

We provide comprehensive medical and comfort care for people navigating the last months of life, and support for their loved ones. As a non-proﬁt agency, we care for anyone regardless of ﬁnancial or insurance circumstance. Give us a call. We’re here to help. .

Stamped with Love

For 66 years, Loveland has been re-mailing valentine cards, love letters and postcards received from all 50 states and more than 100 countries around the world. Loveland’s Valentine Re-Mailing Program is the largest program of its kind in the nation and has received the attention of national media, including CBS Sunday Morning. From approximately Feb. 1st through the 14th, more than 50 volunteers gather at the Loveland Chamber of Commerce to hand-stamp a special message of love on each of the 150,000 cards sent through Loveland to be received by their special recipients. In partnership with the Loveland Post Ofﬁce, the cards are also postmarked with a special postal cancellation. The Loveland Museum/Gallery features a Sweetheart Town USA exhibit that shares the long tradition of this community program. The nearly 150,000 valentines come in all shapes and sizes and range from elaborately handmade to simple and sweet. While most of the cards are addressed to individuals unknown by the stamping crew, some of the famous recipients have included Lady Bird Johnson, Abigail Van Buren, Robert Redford, Oprah Winfrey, Judge Judy, sports teams and President Barack Obama. While recent numbers have dropped slightly due to the economy, the program has received as many as 300,000 cards and has an overall average of 200,000 cards per year.

How it all began

In the early 1940s, a local stamp club, including member Elmer Ivers, Loveland’s Postmaster, came up with an idea to assist in their stamp collecting efforts – the creation of a re-mailing program. The club tried to promote the program for a couple of years but realized they needed someone with more marketing abilities. They sought the help of Ted Thompson, a master of marketing, who managed Loveland’s Rialto Theater and served as president of the Loveland Chamber of Commerce. Ted realized that Loveland, Colo. had a unique opportunity to share a little love and friendship with the people of the United States, and indeed, the world through a valentine focus. With that, Valentine Re-mailing Program was born, capturing nationwide exposure. Ted’s own sweetheart, Mabel, became involved in the program when the couple began the Miss Loveland Valentine program, selecting (through an interview process) a local high school senior to serve as the spokesperson during the valentine season, promoting the Valentine Re-mailing program and community. For years, the Thompson’s accompanied Miss Loveland Valentine to all of her speaking engagements and arranged for her to visit the Capitol where she met and presented a gift to the governor, and made formal presentations to Colorado’s House of Representatives and the Senate. Also added to the program in 1964, was the creation of Loveland’s own ofﬁcial valentine card by Ted Thompson and the Loveland Chamber of Commerce. The ﬁrst valentine was designed by Ted Thompson and Loveland art instructor Darrell Elliott. Loveland’s “Valentine Sweethearts,” as they are affectionately referred, Ted and Mabel Thompson have since passed away and the Loveland community feels their absence. To commemorate their vision and love of Loveland, their memory lives on through this annual program and the people of Loveland. A bronze relief of the Thompsons stands in Thompson Park in Historic Downtown Loveland. Today, the Loveland Chamber of Commerce continues to operate the program. Norma Jean and Chet Goodhart have taken over as chaperones of Miss Loveland Valentine and have held that prestigious role for 19 years.

residents who design the card front and pen the inside verse. Jessica Benes designed the 2012 card, and Sheri Cobb South authored the 2012 card verse. The valentine card can be purchased from early January through February 14th through many retail outlets in Loveland and northern Colorado. It can also be purchased online at www.loveland.org or by calling (970) 667-6311, where the Chamber signs them (as instructed) and mails them through the Valentine Re-mailing program.

It’s a community affair

Several years ago, the Chamber added a sponsorship opportunity for a local company to sponsor the entire Valentine Re-mailing Program. The 2012 sponsor is McKee Medical Center. In addition to the sponsor, many community businesses make donations to the program from ﬂowers donated by Rowe’s Flowers for the Miss Valentine selection program and professional photographs of Miss Valentine by Marcus Edwards of Sugar Mill Productions; to food and gift items donated by local caterers, restaurants and businesses for the volunteers who lovingly hand-stamp the cachet for two weeks at the Chamber.

The 2012 Miss Loveland Valentine

In September, each local high school nominates three young women from their senior classes to participate in the selection of Miss Loveland Valentine. These young ladies must have at least a 3.0 GPA, be college bound and demonstrate leadership skills in their school and community. Each candidate is scored on a 300-word essay they are required to submit and judged on a series of questions asked during an interview conducted by community leaders. They are also rated on the content and presentation Ofﬁcial Loveland Valentine Card of a speech they give during a luncheon hosted by ThompThe Loveland Chamber of Commerce continues producson Valley Rotary Club.

ofﬁce. (Big game species include deer, elk, pronghorn, sheep, goats, bear, and moose.)

Living/Playing around Wildlife

Altitude Adjustment

The key to living with wildlife is to respect the wildness of wildlife. “Wildlife” is just that—wild. Most dangerous and potentially harmful encounters occur because people fail to leave the animals alone. Wildlife should not be harassed, captured, domesticated or—in most cases—fed. Intentional or inadvertent feeding is the major cause of most wildlife problems. It is illegal to feed deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, pronghorn and elk in Colorado. If you have nuisance wildlife issues that cannot be resolved, please check the yellow pages in your phone book under Pest Control. If you have conﬂict issues involving big game species, you should contact your local Division of Wildlife

Loveland is situated at 4,982 feet above sea level in a semi-arid climate. The sun is more intense here. You should always wear sunscreen of at least 15 SPF and sunglasses when outdoors and drink lots of water. Because there is less oxygen at higher altitudes, give yourself some time to adjust. Plan a day of rest before strenuous exercise like downhill or cross-country skiing; pace yourself while hiking or biking. To decrease the risk of acute mountain sickness at altitudes above 7,400 feet, take it easy, eat high carbohydrate foods and limit salt and alcohol intake.

Loveland Hiking/Biking Trail

There are approximately 17.5 miles of recreation trail in Loveland that run from Boyd Lake State Park in the northeast, to the Big Thompson River and along Wilson Avenue. The trail winds through the west shore of Boyd Lake along irrigation canals, through ﬁelds, over and under city streets, and along the Big Thompson River through a picturesque trail section. The trail, skirting downtown Loveland, is used for biking, walk-

KdìáÇÉ

ing, running, skating and rollerblading. Funded by Loveland’s share of proceeds from the Colorado State Lottery, the trail provides protection of natural resources, education and improves quality of life and health. Approximately 20 miles of paved urban trail are planned with the goal of developing off-street trails that will encompass the perimeter of the city. Quartermile markers are located along a large portion of the trail to measure distance traveled. www.CityofLoveland.org/ParksRecreation

Several small lakes sit within city’s boundaries

Boedecker Reservoir (two miles west on First Street to County Road 21 then a half mile south) is a wakeless boating area. Sailboats and camping are prohibited. However ﬁshing, wildlife viewing and hunting for waterfowl and doves are popular activities at the reservoir. Lon Hagler Lake is also a wakeless boating area. Camping, ﬁshing, wildlife viewing, an archery range and a nature trail are available with an annual or daily use permit.

County Parks & Open Spaces

Loveland is fortunate to have the Larimer County Parks & Open Spaces right in its backyard. Protected and cared for by staff and more than 2,000 volunteers, more than 29,904 acres of land has been preserved in Larimer County through the ¼ cent open space sales tax. Park entrance permits are required at Carter Lake, Flatiron Reservoir, Pinewood Reservoir, RamsayShockey Open Space, Horsetooth Reservoir and Horsetooth Mountain Open Space. Permits are required for all park use, whether you drive in, walk in, bike in or ride a horse. Call 970-679-4570 for details. www.larimer.org/ parks

Devil’s Backbone

The Devil’s Backbone is a geological landmark on the western edge of Loveland just off U.S. Highway 34. Added to the county’s open spaces in the fall of 1999, the Devil’s Backbone offers trails for hiking and running. Featuring towering rock formations, it is an ideal location to view wildlife. An interpretive brochure that corresponds with numbered stops along the trail educates visitors about the native ﬂora, abundant fauna, impressive geology and rich and colorful history.

Blue Sky Trail

The Blue Sky Trail, connecting the Devil’s Backbone Open Space to Horsetooth Mountain Park along the Front Range mountain backdrop, has been on Larimer County’s wish list for more than ten years. Traversing through 4,000 acres of protected foothills open space is

one of the premiere regional trails in Northern Colorado for hiking, biking and horseback riding and crosses only one road over the total 15-mile distance.

Fossil Creek Reservoir Regional Open Space

A mixture of grasslands, riparian and water habitats makes this open space unique in the semi-desert climate of the Colorado Front Range. The highest priority in managing this open space is continued protection of natural resources while balancing public recreation. The trails were designed to minimize human impact to wildlife. Biking, water recreation (boating and ﬁshing) and pets all have signiﬁcantly greater impact than hiking does on the wildlife; therefore those types of recreation are not permitted at the open space. In order to protect the resources at open space please stay on the trail, respect seasonal trail closures and observe ‘Leave No Trace’ practices.

Carter Lake

Located in the foothills in southwest Loveland, Carter Lake is three miles long and 180 feet deep at the deepest point. Boating, water skiing, sailing, scuba diving, windsurﬁng, swimming and ﬁshing are water sports available at Carter Lake. Boat mooring, gasoline and boat rentals are offered at the Carter Lake Marina, 970-667-1062. Open year round. Electrical, nonelectrical and tent camping can be reserved at www. larimercamping.com or 1-800-297-7795.

Ramsay-Shockey Open Space

Adjacent to Pinewood Reservoir, this open space was purchased in 1997 to protect important wildlife habitat and to provide a buffer to Pinewood Reservoir. A four-mile trail allows hikers and mountain bikers to enjoy the surrounding valley.

Rimrock Open Space

Rimrock provides unmarred views of imposing red rock cliffs rising against a mottled background of mountain mahogany shrub land. Currently, access to Rimrock Open Space is accomplished through the Coyote Ridge Natural Area off of Wilson Avenue, midway between Fort Collins and Loveland. Here hikers, mountain bike enthusiasts, and equestrians may traverse a 7-mile round-trip trail and enjoy a spectacular view-shed of dramatic red rock cliffs and the hogback valleys. The Rimrock Open Space trail system is part of the Blue Sky Trail extending from the Devils Backbone trailhead to Horsetooth Reservoir.

Big Thompson Canyon

(Just West of Loveland on the way to Estes Park) The Big Thompson Canyon is a heavily wooded area of scenic beauty with rugged cliffs and high mountains bordering the Big Thompson River. The road follows the river and winds around walls of granite that rise thousands of feet into the air past timber and grass covered slopes. An abundance of wildlife inhabits the canyon. Visitors will discover picnic areas and look out points located at several points along the easy drive. Visitors can also enjoy hiking, world-class trout ﬁshing, rock climbing, antiquing and shopping, and majestic scenery.

Loveland, Colo. is the community where art and science meet. Recognized by John Villani as one of the nation’s top art communities (second only to Santa Fe, NM) in his fourth edition of “The 100 Best Art Towns in America,” Loveland is home to two of North America’s largest foundries and more than 200 unique sculpture pieces. As the home of the ﬁrst Hewlett-Packard (HP) Facility (1960) outside of Palo Alto, Calif., Loveland is also the birthplace of Colorado’s technology and innovation economy. Today, Loveland is the home to a diverse group of high-tech employers which include, but are not limited to: Agilent, Agrium Advanced Technologies, Hach, Heska, Lightning Hybrids, S.A. Technologies, and Woodward Governor. These companies are leaders in the ﬁelds of: testing and measurement equipment, clean energy, bio-science, life sciences, geospatial engineering, aerospace and aviation. It’s no surprise that so many of these companies call Loveland home considering our fabulous community is strategically located at the heart of the Colorado’s Golden Triangle for Higher Education. Loveland-based businesses have access to a highly educated workforce

from the University of Northern Colorado, Colorado State University and University of Colorado at Boulder, offering new and existing businesses signiﬁcant advantages when starting, relocating or expanding their business. Loveland also offers satellite campuses for Aims Community College, Colorado Christian University, Colorado State University, Regis University and the University of Northern Colorado. Loveland’s business community is exceptionally diverse along with most of Northern Colorado. Residents looking to relocate enjoy a plethora of services, small and large businesses, restaurants and locally-owned shops. The job market has fared better than most of the region with only a 5.6 percent unemployment rate. With 15 different business segments owning about 13 percent of the overall market, job seekers can be optimistic that the variety of business and growth potential for jobs in the region brings additional opportunity. Healthcare, government, education, retail, manufacturing and clean tech are several top growing segments. While Loveland is a growing community, it maintains a desirable small-town atmosphere that is welcoming to new residents and visitors alike.

It is the highest continuous motorway in the United States, with more than eight miles lying above 11,000 feet and a maximum elevation of 12,183 feet. The name “Trail Ridge Road” derives from its proximity to historic pathways used by native peoples to cross the Rocky Mountains.

By Kenneth Jenson Settlers in the Big Thompson Valley were scattered on small farms along the banks of the river. To the west of the present-day city of Loveland was a community started in 1858 by Spanish-speaking Mariano Medina. Medina ran a trading post and operated a toll bridge over the Big Thompson River. The small settlement went under various names including Miraville, Merival, Big Thompson and Mariano’s Crossing. In 1862, it became a stage stop on the Overland, and in 1868, a post ofﬁce was established under the name Namaqua. When David Barnes and his wife, Sarah, lived in the boomtown of Golden, they became friends with William Austin Hamilton Loveland. Loveland was a merchant, one of Golden’s founders, a member of the Territorial Legislature and President of the Colorado Central Railroad. Loveland invited David and Sarah Barnes for the ﬁrst trip over the Colorado Central between Golden and Denver. In 1873, Barnes and his family moved to a 320-acre farm north of the Big Thompson River and began raising wheat. In 1877, Barnes was delighted to hear that Loveland had secured the money to extend the Colorado Central from its terminus Longmont to Cheyennne.

The survey for the railroad went through their wheat field. Barnes reacted immediately to the news by platting a new town on the 80-acre site. Some suggested that it be called “Barnesville,” but Barnes picked the name “Loveland.” Barnes also donated the land for the railroads new right-ofway. After he harvested his wheat in November, Barnes laid out Loveland’s streets. The Fort Collins Courier boldly announced, “Loveland has risen from a bare field of stubble in 77.” The Colorado Central erected an 80-foot by 30foot brick depot, completed in December 1877. It was located on the west side of the tracks close to Fourth Street. The depot, built at a cost of $2,000, had a ticket office, passenger waiting and freight room. The structure was replaced in 1902 by the present-day depot, and the bricks from the old depot were used for the sidewalk. Loveland’s success was in part due to the construction of the Colorado Central linking Denver and Cheyenne. The town had an ample supply of good water from the Big Thompson River. In a little over a year after its founding, Loveland has a population of 250. Loveland grew at a steady rate, and by 1885, its population reached 900. By this time, it had a weekly newspaper, the Reporter. KdìáÇÉ

The MCR campus was designed with accessibility, patient flow and ease-ofexpansion in mind. It was also designed with “green” in mind. MCR is one of the nation’s most energy efficient and environmentally sensitive buildings as evidenced by its receiving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold designation by the United States Green Building Council.

Loveland living includes an ideal mix of suburban, urban and ranch-style living. No matter how much land you want or your desired location within the city, a neighborhood awaits you. The cost of living in Loveland is below the national average. The American Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association (ACCRA) lists the Third Quarter 2010 composite Cost of Living Index for Loveland, CO at 94.1 and the median cost of living in the United States is 100. In 2009 U.S. News and World Report listed the Fort Collins-Loveland MSA as one of the Top Ten Housing Markets for the next Ten Years. It’s easy to understand why when you consider Loveland’s outstanding amenities (art, recreation, entertainment, etc…) and its affordability.
