Welcome from Deputy Director Parks, Recreation & Culture

Tara Fotsch

I hope this Activity Guide finds you in good health and high spirits as we transition from Fall to Winter in our beautiful community. As the Deputy Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture, I am excited to share with you the latest programs and events for the upcoming season. I would like to express my gratitude to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and community members for making everything possible. A big round of applause goes to the department for achieving accreditation through the Commission for Accreditation of Park and Recreation Agencies (CAPRA)! This recognition from the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is a testament to their commitment to excellence. Earning this accreditation is the ultimate proof that Windsor Parks, Recreation & Culture team works to deliver the highest quality of service to our community every day. Our team is committed to providing opportunities for everyone to get healthy, enjoy the great outdoors, and connect with nature. We have planned a variety of activities such as youth cooking classes, gardening classes, birding clubs, a magical forest event and so much more. Additionally, we are working on a new historic park along with several park improvement projects to enhance your overall experience. These include the construction of the Historic Halfway Homestead landscape, playground replacement at Founders Park, and renovations at the Community Recreation Center to name a few. I encourage you to stay updated on our website and social media channels for the latest information on upcoming events, activities, and projects. Thank you for being a valued member of our parks, recreation, and culture community. We look forward to enjoying the wonders of winter with you and creating lasting memories together. Warm regards, Tara Fotsch Deputy Director Parks, Recreation & Culture

Breckenridge Snow Sculptures Breckenridge’s International Snow Sculpture Championships is a world-renowned snow sculpting competition where teams from around the world descend on Breckenridge, Colorado to handcarve 25-ton blocks of snow into enormous, intricate works of art. Artists are only allowed to use hand tools, creativity, and inspiration to bring their ideas to life. No power tools allowed! Teams sculpt countless hours across five days (totaling around 94 hours), resulting in a temporary outdoor art gallery in historic downtown Breckenridge! We’ll travel by motor coach for this trip, so grab a friend and get registered as we’ll need at least 35 people at minimum. Be sure to dress for winter mountain weather conditions as you’ll be mostly outdoors. Lunch plans are on your own at one of many restaurants in the downtown area. Carving week is January 22 – 26, 2024, so the sculptures won’t be entirely done but you’ll get to see the artists at work as they race to meet the deadline.

Candlelight Dinner Theatre A zany rich-boy-meets-hometown-girl romantic comedy, Crazy For You, tells the story of young New York banker Bobby Child, who is sent to Deadrock, Nevada, to foreclose on a rundown theatre. In Deadrock, Bobby falls for spunky Polly Baker, the theatre owner’s daughter. But Polly takes an instant dislike to the city slicker, so Bobby vows – through cunning, razzmatazz, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity – to win Polly’s heart and save the theatre. Memorable Gershwin tunes from the score include “I Got Rhythm,” “Naughty Baby,” “They Can’t Take That Away from Me,” “Embraceable You,” “But Not for Me,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”

Learn to Make Soap Soap is one of those things that we use every day. It comes in a variety of forms; there are basic bar soaps, liquid soaps, dish soap and laundry soap to name a few. Many of these items sold at your local store are, however, not true soap, but a detergent, beauty bar or cleanser. This class series will cover how to formulate, customize, and make a basic, true bar soap recipe in three different methods: hot and cold process as well as liquid soap. It will also cover designing the appearance, coloring, and scenting of your soap. By the end of the class series, you will have a basic understanding of formulating soap, the process of soap making, a basic soap recipe you can use and build on as well as some bar soaps to use and share.
