Hey FoCo!
Here's everything worth showing up for this week. Save this email — you'll need it.
A Brother's Fountain at Tuesday Talks Tuesday, June 9 | 5–6:30PM | FREE NOCOAC, 3121 Kintzley Plaza Unit A, Laporte, CO 80535 🔗 sanderosaartgallery.com/tuesday-talks
Three weeks. 120 miles of river. No money. No food. Just music. Fort Collins band A Brother's Fountain busked their way down the Snake River trading songs for meals, shelter, and the occasional cigarette — then made a documentary about it. They're telling the story live this Tuesday. Free, seats are limited, show up early.
FoCo Food Truck Rally Tuesday, June 9 | 5:30PM–Dusk | FREE City Park, Sheldon Drive, Fort Collins, CO 80521 🔗 focofoodtruckrally.com
Tuesday Talks ends at 6:30. City Park is a straight shot from Laporte. Coincidence? We think not. The weekly Food Truck Rally has 15+ trucks, free live music, and zero reason not to go. BYO chairs, dogs on leash welcome. Check the website for this week's truck lineup and band.
Mozzarella & Burrata at Farm Fusion (Sold Out — but bookmark this one) Wednesday, June 10 | 5–7PM 2627 Cattlemans Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80524 🔗 farmfusion.org
This week's cheesemaking class is full. We're telling you anyway because Farm Fusion's hands-on cooking classes sell out every single time, and you'll want to be on their radar before the next one drops. Make mozzarella and burrata from scratch, then eat what you made. Watch the website for upcoming dates.
