With COVID-19 numbers increasing in parts of the country, many of us with kids (My Big Day and “Loveland Drive-In” employees included) are wondering what we can do to keep our families entertained outside of the house and how safe those activities really are. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has updated information about the risk level of various activities. We are pleased that drive-in shows continue to be listed as one of the safest activities for families this summer. See our COVID-19 risk assessment for family activities list below!  High-Risk Activities (from “Covid 19 Risk Calculator,” ABC News, updated June 19, 2020)
 Medium-Risk Activities
 Low-Risk Activities
The Loveland Drive-In abides by the CDC’s advice on their latest “Deciding to Go Out” information page (updated June 15, 2020):
There’s still time to join us for some low-risk family fun this summer! Tickets available HERE!   Summer is here and now, so is the Loveland Drive In Movie Theater! This pop-up, family-friendly entertainment venue was born out of our (My Big Day’s) response to the Coronavirus. We wanted to build a safe entertainment option for families to take advantage of during our safer-at-home orders, while at the same time, support a deserving non-profit and local businesses that were impacted by all of the coronavirus closures. The pop-up Drive In fundraiser achieves both of these goals! We are so excited about this summer opportunity, and we know you are too. We’ve come up with a few ideas to make your family’s trip to our Drive In safe, successful, and fun! First off – planning ahead will ensure that your family has fun. Because we are operating during a time of social distancing, pre-planning and organization MUST include thoughts of safety. Our safety guidelines are spelled out on our website here within our Code of Conduct: https://www.lovelanddrivein.com/code-of-conduct.html Please make sure you read through this before your show.  Tips for more fun at the Drive-In Movies! Here are a few more tips that we have compiled to help ensure that you and your family are comfortable and have as much fun as possible. 1. Arrive early to grab the “perfect” spot. Our team will be helping to direct traffic to their assigned spots. Arriving early will ensure that you won’t be stuck in a long line of cars, and you’ll be placed closer to the big screen. The Loveland Drive In will allow entry 45 minutes before the movie call time. MBD Pro-Tip: Most Drive-Ins are requiring that you purchase your tickets online in advance. This is our policy, and it helps us restrict capacity to provide for safe social distance between cars. 2. Consider bringing your own portable radio and extra batteries. We are encouraging attendees to turn their cars off during the movie – for environmental and safety reasons. While you can broadcast your sound through your car’s radio, you can avoid the possibility of running down your car’s battery by using a portable radio that runs on batteries. This will be an ever better alternative if you should choose to set up chairs in your pick-up bed or in front of your vehicle. 3. Bring body essentials. Don’t forget to pack the bug spray, sunscreen, and plenty of water. Our experience is different because we can show movies during the day. However, due to the nature of this activity – you will be out, exposed in the sun. Don’t forget to lather up with the sunscreen so you don’t leave with a nasty burn! 4. Satisfy your hunger! We encourage you to bring money and have your phone ready so that you can order some tasty treats from our food and beverage vendors on site. Some proceeds from food sales will also be benefiting our non-profit, Thompson Education Foundation. You may also bring food with you. Please make sure that you follow our food/beverage guidelines if you choose to bring your own treats. MBD Pro Tip: Check out our vendor partners listed for each showing. They will have links that you can use to order food online. Review their menus before you arrive so you can plan ahead. 5. Wear appropriate and comfy clothes. There will be limited shade, and you will be sitting in a parking lot for the duration of the movie. Make sure you are wearing comfortable, seasonally appropriate clothing. Also – don’t forget, even summer evenings can get chilly in Colordao! If you are attending the late show, you might want to pack a jacket or some blankets. 6. Comfortable seating options. We know some of you will watch the movies from the comfort of your car, but we also encourage you to pack camping chairs, mats, pillows, and blankets. 7. Have a bathroom plan. There will be bathroom facilities available on site. However, we also know that some may not be comfortable using public restrooms at this time. Planning ahead, and trying to go before you arrive can lessen your chances of having to use the public restroom during the event. We want to assure all participants that the public facilities will be routinely cleaned throughout the day. Packing extra hand sanitizer and wipes aren’t a bad idea either. 8. Relax and have fun! We are so excited to bring this fun event to all Northern Colorado families! This event is designed to encourage fun and bonding for families. Relax, enjoy, and have fun at the movies!  Health & Safety Reminders My Big Day wants this to be a fun and memorable event for you and your family, and therefore, your safety is of utmost importance to us. The Loveland Drive-In was built around all state and local guidelines regarding COVID-19. While we are keeping up to date on all law changes and how they affect events, we kindly ask that you follow all guidelines and event rules, so that everyone can have a healthy, safe, and enjoyable time.

The drive-in runs June 5 through July 12 in the north lot of The Outlets at Loveland. Tickets go on sale June 3 and are a suggested donation of $20. Drive-In details - how it works:
The ability to provide daytime shows comes with innovative LED wall technology from Rythm EFX that is also used in large event centers such as Fiddlers Green Amphitheater and many outdoor festivals for all-day events. Unlike video projection, LED wall is capable of competing with the sun. To get an idea of what to experience, picture the large, vibrant screens seen in Las Vegas 24/7. “We are proud to come together with our partners and offer a safe, fun way for families to get outdoors and enjoy some entertainment - all while supporting TEF and helping to boost the economy,” said Christine Forrester, owner of My Big Day Marketing and Events.”Loveland is a community with heart and we are all excited to step up with this opportunity at a time when people and businesses need it most.” “At Visit Loveland, our goal is to bring people to Loveland to shop, eat, stay and play,” said Cindy Mackin, visitor services manager for the City of Loveland. “The location on I-25 and US 34 makes it easily accessible for locals and nearby families to take advantage of this entertainment option and give back at the same time.” The Loveland Drive-in is looking for additional sponsors to help offset the costs of production and help give more to the TEF. TEF’s vision is to be the community’s best answer to support student and educator opportunities in the Thompson School District. They do this through scholarships, grants, homeless assistance and other important programs for Loveland-area youth. Sponsorship packages are available now through TEF.

My Big Day was asked to help coordinate an intimate wedding for Pat and Tracy who wanted to make sure that their closest friends and family had a taste of Tracy's French family background. We came up with a 'French Revelry' style day for the couple!  While the weather didn't fully cooperate, this couple was cool and calm, and kept a focus on what was truly important!  The colors chosen for the wedding were a white base, with tons of POP! Burgundy, reds, pinks and greens warmed each room. Sprawling vines added an earthy feel. Lace and Lilies in Fort Collins did an amazing job transforming the home!
To make a French Revelry meal complete, you need a very special menu and multiple courses! Taste Local in Loveland, CO did an amazing job with the menu selection, presentation, and authentic interpretation! 
And what multiple course meal would be complete without a wine pairing? Our sommelier friend, Paul, hand selected multiple wines to pair with each course. He educated guests on the background of each wine and why it pairs so well!
 While we didn't get to celebrate out on the deck - looking out on Boyd Lake, Flexx Productions did provide rentals perfect for some shade on a sunny deck, all of the tables, chairs, linens, gold flatware and more!  Of course, we wouldn't get to post such lovely photos without the permission and talent of the lovely Kyla with KJean Photography! She is always a pleasure to work with and such a professional!  Congratulations to the latest happy My Big Day wedding couple: Patrick & Tracy!

My Big Day Events is proud to have this premier Northern Colorado event venue as one of its 2018 Supporting Sponsors! The Ranch at the Larimer County Fairgrounds has a space for every kind of event imaginable – from the obvious county fair, to Trade Shows, conferences, business meetings, concerts, corporate parties, and weddings! We love the fact that we can recommend this spot to a variety of our clients!  Located in the heart of Northern Colorado’s Tri-City area (Fort Collins, Loveland, and Greeley), this 244 acre complex boasts expansive grounds, state of the art facilities – 5 separate dedicated building event spaces and arenas, plenty of parking and high end amenities, and of course, plenty of outdoor event space with coveted mountain views! With 5 specific venue spaces to choose from, The Ranch pretty much has every event option covered! My Big Day Events has been lucky to work with the friendly staff and event sales team of multiple occasions. We’ve hosted and executed large scale corporate parties in the First National Bank Building, and The Ranch, in turn, has sponsored some of our signature events that we offer throughout the year. We love this partnership and look forward to future events with this Northern Colorado gem! 
 My Big Day was honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing businesses in Northern Colorado for a 2nd year in a row! This year, we also came in second place in flight V! BizWest is the annual host of the Mercury 100 Awards.
 The Mercury 100 list is ranked by percentage revenue growth over a two-year period. The 100 companies are divided into five “flights” of 20, with the highest revenue earners in flight one. Those 20 companies are then ranked by their percentage revenue growth over a two-year period. The Mercury is compiled by BizWest’s research department and vetted by Anton Collins Mitchell. Our 1st Annual NoCo Road Rally sold out last year, and we are so glad that participants loved this creative event! Tickets go on sale soon for our 2nd Annual NoCo Road Rally, which will be held on June 23rd, 2018.  A road rally is a kind of motorized sport. Similar to "The Amazing Race," it is a competition of accuracy not speed. Participants are sent out in teams, with a goal of navigating the course from start to finish while solving clues and completing challenges along the way - then arriving at the final destination first. Our road rally scavenger hunt requires the driver and their team to decode clues while still maintaining the most efficient travel time possible. Road Rally's (or sometimes called car rally) scavenger hunts have been celebrated across America for years and years. Participants are given clues about where to start, and they must solve a clue or complete a puzzle at every stage along the way. There are many variations of a Road Rally, and My Big Day has YEARS of experience putting on fun scavenger hunts. We know you'll have a good time! This year the NoCo Road Rally is in Loveland. Learn more HERE Not only is this a fun night out, it's for a great cause.... and you could win CASH!!! Tickets are $150 per car (for the entire team!)
