Bones About Town: Littleton

Have you visited Downtown Littleton this October?

Things are looking a little spooky on Main Street thanks to all the skeletons!

Skeletons, I hear you ask. Yes! Skeletons!

All throughout October, Littleton has been hosting the Bones About Town scavenger hunt, with skeletons displayed on lamp posts along Main Street and a few surrounding streets.

Visitors are encouraged to find each of the twenty five skeletons, scan the QR code, and enter their details along with the skeleton's name for the chance to win prizes from local businesses.

I took a trip to Littleton this week to check out the skeletons. I didn't manage to find all twenty five as I had limited time, but I did find quite a few. Plus, it was a great way to explore a local city that I'm yet to spend much time in. The Downtown area has a lot of cute shops, cafes and restaurants, so I'll definitely be back to explore more!

In the meantime, let's check out the skeletons...

Superior Mural Festival

This past weekend, Downtown Superior became a little more colorful thanks to Superior Mural Festival presented by Street Wise Arts.  

Each Fall, Street Wise Arts put on a mural festival, bringing artists and the local community together. Usually the festival is based in Boulder, but this year I'm excited that it was a little closer to us in Downtown Superior.

You know I'm a big fan of street art, so this event had my name written all over it!

The festival may be over, but the murals are here to stay, so let's take a look at them...

Find the Pomodoro Scavenger Hunt

If you've bee here a while, or if you read my previous post, you'll know that I'm a big fan of scavenger hunts, especially ones that involve public art. So today, I'm sharing a local scavenger hunt that can be found right here in Louisville, Colorado.

In the early days of Louisville, the town was populated by Italian miners and their families, which resulted in a strong Italian community. To celebrate the town's Italian heritage and the tomatoes that grow so well here in Summer (practically the only thing that will grow in my veggie patch!), the City of Louisville launched a scavenger hunt called Find the Pomodoro and an accompanying mural on Main Street over Summer.

Now, I know that it's already Fall, but the scavenger hunt is still in progress, and it's a fun way to explore local landmarks and businesses, so let's take a look... 

Office of Collecting & Design

Are you a collector?

Do you bring home little items that make your heart happy?

Do you have a treasure trove of tiny things that bring you joy?

I'm definitely a collector. I love to add to my collections when we travel and visit new places. Fridge magnets, Christmas ornaments, Starbucks mugs, tea towels, little artworks that speak to me... 

But my collections pale in comparison to the awe inspiring Office of Collecting & Design!

I recently had the chance to visit the Office of Collecting & Design when it made a tour stop in Denver. This mobile museum is housed in an old RV and is full drawers, shelves and containers - each one housing a tiny collection. Anything small you can think of, it's there! And the best part? It's all hands on! You know I love a good interactive exhibition!
