Hello PAAC Friends

October 4, Friday 9am Horsetooth Reservoir

This overlooks Horsetooth Reservoir from above. A large parking area, picnic tables, restrooms, absolute beautiful view with red sandstone banks lining the lake. This area is NOT a fee area. 

We have been here before. It is a great spot when the weather is nice. 

Directions- Going on S. Overland Trail, near the Holiday Twin Drive-in Theater, turn West onto 42c, turn North onto S. County Rd 23 which goes along the East side of Horsetooth Reservoir.  Heading North on the East side of Horsetooth Reservoir, you will pass two fee areas, keep going and cross the dam. The next parking area is the spot. 

October 11, Friday 9am Gardens on Spring Creek

Lots of variety of plants, gardens, and landscapes. It is a beautiful area. They are very welcoming towards the artists.    2145 Centre Ave. Fort Collins. Park on the West Side on Botanical Lane if it is convenient. 

October 18, Friday 9am Osborn Farm 

We are invited to the Osborn Farm and Pumpkin Patch. Thank you to Pam Osborn. 

It is a beautiful farm established in 1861 by the Osborn Family.  We've painted here before. They are wonderful. We will get to purchase the pumpkins for the season as well.

October 25, Friday 8am Water's Way Park/ Pelican Marsh Fort Collins

Thank you for the suggestion from Jennifer Hensleigh.

This is a community park and skate park. There is a pond, cattails and tall grasslands, beautiful marshland with reds greens and yellows - to the West of the park. There is a view of an old red barn in the distance, and a great view of Longs Peak. There are restrooms and paved walkways.   715 Fairborne Way

Look Forward to Painting With You! :)
