On Friday March 11th for Loveland Night on the Town, we had the pleasure of hosting a promotional event for the Loveland 365 Book Project. The project, which was founded by local businessman John Giroux, is an attempt to showcase all the great people, places, and things that make Loveland America’s Sweetheart City. After years in the making, the project is finally wrapping up and just about ready to print.

We were fortunate enough to have some 50 page example books to display and thumb through while customers decided whether or not to pre-order the book. In addition to the example books, a slide show of photos from the project, all taken by volunteer photographers, were displayed.

We had the wonderful honor of having some special guests in attendance who were featured in the book. Mayor Cecil Gutierrez was happy to chat with everyone and sign prints of his featured page of the book. Award winning poet and Loveland resident Veronica Patterson shared some beautiful poems she has written. Max Moree, the Eagle Scout who refurbished and repaired the non-functioning Namaqua Star was glad to share his story for the “Relighting the Star” project. And Miss Loveland Valentine 2011 Jamie Felton was also more than happy to share how she earned the title and why she loves Loveland so much.

In addition to the special guests, attendees enjoyed beverages and snacks provided by Dancing Pines Distillery, Grimm Brother’s Brewery, and The Pourhouse. This was a very informative and fun evening for all who came to catch a glimpse of this soon-to-be collectible art book. If you weren’t able to make it to the event but still want to order the book, just visit http://www.loveland365.com, but do it soon because it won’t be available for long!

Thanks for reading!
