NoCo’s July COVID-Safe Outdoor Events Calendar

7/2/2020

The Loveland Drive-In only lasts two more weekends, but don’t fret, NoCo! There are plenty of other safe, outdoor events happening in July – for families, friends, and couples. Here are some of the events we at My Big Day are most excited about!

Every Wednesday and Thursday – CopperMuse Happy Hour @ The Exchange Fort Collins: Enjoy happy hour at CopperMuse Distillery every Wednesday and Thursday from 4:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. The Exchange is an open air plaza surrounded by food, cocktails, and beer served out of shipping container cars and is open every day from 7:30 a.m.-12 a.m.

July 3 – Glacier Ice Cream Fort Collins Grand Opening: Glacier Ice Cream, a beloved brand with roots in Boulder, CO, is opening a new franchise location on North College Avenue in Fort Collins. Since Glacier’s inception in 2001, over 1,000 fun and unique flavors of handmade ice cream and gelato have been enjoyed by Colorado friends and families. Outdoor seating available, or grab your ice cream to-go. More information HERE.

July 4 – Larimer County Drive-In Fireworks Show @ The Ranch: In light of state and county public health orders, the City of Loveland is moving its Fourth of July fireworks display, a time-honored North Lake Park tradition, to The Ranch Events Complex for 2020. The fireworks show is the result of a partnership between the City of Loveland, City of Fort Collins, Larimer County Government, Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, and The Ranch Events Complex.

July 11 – 7 O’clock Howl with Waido Experience @ The Lyric Fort Collins: Come see the live music you have been craving before an outdoor movie. Music starts at 7 p.m., movie at 8 p.m. Please wear a mask!

July 13 – City of Loveland Outdoor Yoga @ Marianna Butte Golf Course: Mondays 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. July 13 – August 3.

COVID-19 RISK ASSESSMENT FOR FAMILY ACTIVITIES

6/24/2020

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)

Yoga/workout classes/gym

Why:“Lots of sweaty strangers in an enclosed environment, what could go wrong? You’ll also be tempted to wipe sweat off your face, potentially touching your eyes and mouth area, making the risk even higher.”

Vacation

Why: Even if you “wear a mask and gloves in the airport and on the airplane, you take the first flight of the morning to avoid crowds and take advantage of overnight cleaning on the airplane, the airport isn’t crowded, and passengers on the plane are seated with empty seats between them,” the risk is high according to the article’s doctors. “You could do everything right, but at the end of the day you’re at the mercy of your fellow passengers’ health and hygiene.” There is also a risk that, if cases suddenly increase in your area of travel, you will not be able to return home for weeks or months.

Visiting grandparents

Why: It doesn’t matter if case numbers are low in your area, if you avoid staying in hotels, or if you have your entire family tested before the visit, “Grandparents are always going to be a higher risk population. And remember, you can test negative one day and contract the virus the next.”

Graduation/Independence Day/birthday party with 20 friends and family members

Why: The highest-risk activity on this list, it doesn’t matter if your invitees have been mostly staying home or come wearing masks – no one can wear a mask while eating or drinking, and adding alcohol into the mix makes people less likely to be vigilant. And, unless you have 40 bowls on hand and the time to individually dish out chips and salsa to each of your guests, there will be shared food handling involved.

Medium-Risk Activities

Dinner party with 3 or fewer friends

Why: Even if everyone washes their hands and has been following social distancing advice, your attendees won’t be able to wear masks while eating. You can make this activity slightly safer by eating outside, 6 feet apart, and using disposable (biodegradable, please!) dishes and cutlery.

Kids’ Summer Camp

Why: Campers should be kept in groups of 10 or less with no intermixing and as much outdoor time as possible. However, during hot summer months it is usually impossible to keep children outside at all times.

Low-Risk Activities

Camping

Why: If you maintain social distancing, eat only food you brought from home, wear masks whenever you are around other people and use hand sanitizer regularly, camping is a low risk activity.

Drive-in Movies/Concerts

Why: As long as cars are parked 6 feet apart, employees wear masks when interacting with customers, and you maintain your distance from others when outside of your car, drive-in shows are one of the safest out-of-the-house activities this summer. At the Loveland Drive-In, we go the extra mile with even more precautions:

By staggering our cars in a checkerboard pattern, we keep vehicles 10 feet apart rather than the required 6
Our employees monitor bathroom lines to be sure people are maintaining their distance from each other and that there are no more than 3 people in line at a time
We also regularly disinfect our restrooms with an aerosol spray for airborne germs and a bleach spray for solid surfaces like faucets and toilet handles

The Loveland Drive-In abides by the CDC’s advice on their latest “Deciding to Go Out” information page (updated June 15, 2020):

Choose places where there is limited sharing of items and where any items that are shared are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between uses. You can also choose to visit places that share, post, or announce that they have increased cleaning and disinfection to protect others from COVID-19.

Can you keep 6 feet of space between you and others? Will you be outdoors or indoors? Indoor spaces are more risky than outdoor spaces where it might be harder to keep people apart and there’s less ventilation. Choose outdoor activities and places where it’s easy to stay 6 feet apart, like parks and open-air facilities.

Use visual reminders—like signs, chair arrangements, markings on the floor, or arrows—to help remind you to keep your distance from others. (At the Loveland Drive-In, we have “X”s spray-painted on parking spaces in a checkerboard pattern to remind attendees not to park too close to others.)

Will I need to take public transportation to get to the activity? Public transit can put you in close contact with others. By nature, at a drive-in, you BYOV (bring your own vehicle)!

Before you go somewhere, call and ask what extra prevention strategies they are using, like requiring staff to wear cloth face coverings. Visit our FAQ and Code of Conduct pages for the Loveland Drive-In to see some of the precautions we are taking to make sure your family stays safe!

There’s still time to join us for some low-risk family fun this summer! Tickets available HERE!

TIPS FOR MORE FUN AT THE DRIVE-IN MOVIES!

6/6/2020

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. If you are unsure of the local health and safety guidelines, please visit:

My Big Day Launches the Loveland Drive-In

5/31/2020

Loveland Drive-In Launches June 5 Bringing Six Weeks of Classic and Family Favorite Movies
Tickets go on sale June 3 for the pop-up experience to benefit Thompson Education Foundation

LOVELAND, Colo. - May 29, 2020 - My Big Day Marketing and Events along with partners Thompson Education Foundation (TEF), Visit Loveland, and Rythm EFX have launched a pop-up Loveland Drive-In fundraiser. 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:

Purchase tickets online at LovelandDriveIn.com. Tickets are a suggested donation of $20 per car with proceeds benefiting TEF and will be released at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday for the following weekend.
Shows run at 9 a.m., 5 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays June 5 - July 12. Movies at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. are family-friendly movies (Rated G or PG), and the 8:30 p.m. movie will be rated PG-13.
The drive-in will select movies based on what its distribution partner has available and through community surveys online. Media partners iHeartMedia and NoCo Style will be posting movie surveys on their websites to help gather feedback.
Attendees must wear masks at all times when outside of their vehicles. Bathrooms will be available and sanitized regularly.
Local food trucks and vendors are invited to participate and sell to-go food items to attending families. Local restaurants wanting to participate should contact My Big Day at MyBigDayEvents@outlook.com.

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.

Larimer County Launches NO DUI LARIMER Project

NORTHERN COLORADO – April 29, 2020

Larimer County is one of only three communities in Colorado who has been awarded funds from The Colorado Office of Behavioral Health Persistent Drunk Driving and Law Enforcement Assistance Fund grants. The goal is to prevent driving under the influence of alcohol or other substances by increasing community responsibility for safe and responsible driving.

Partners Mentoring Youth, who absorbed this, among other work, from the former non-profit, Team Wellness & Prevention, is the lead agency on this five year project which is now in its third year. Partners has engaged a steering committee, and named the project NO DUI LARIMER. According to Heather Vesgaard, Executive Director of Partners, “This project aligns with our organizations commitment to promoting positive decisions and a safe and well community. Effective work in this arena will benefit youth and adults alike. We are excited to be working with such a broad group of community members to guide and direct this county-wide project.

No DUI Larimer’s steering committee has representatives serving from a broad base of interested parties including; The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, City of Loveland PD, UCHealth, City of Fort Collins PD, Colorado State Patrol, My Big Day Marketing & Events, Bullfrog Liquors, Mulberry Max Liquors, Health District of Northern Larimer County, Omni Institute, Peer Assistance Services, Partners Mentoring Youth, CSU Police Department, CSU College of Health & Human Sciences, Data Action Change, Responsible Association of Retailers, Smokey’s 420, and Larimer County Dept. of Health & Environment.

Areas of focus for this group include:

A media campaign that increases the community’s understanding of its role to prevent drunk and drugged driving
Changing local conditions to promote responsible and safe driving
Integrating DWAI/DUI messaging with promotion of local dining and drinking to be responsive to climate of businesses post COVID19
Collaborating with law enforcement efforts and agencies, and formalizing county-wide collaboration
Using GIS mapping for strategic planning of enforcement and integration with public messaging campaign

In 2019 more than 8,500 people were arrested for driving under the influence in Colorado. A needs assessment
completed in October 2018 found that DUI/DWAI offenses are a significant issue in Larimer County due to a number of factors on which the dedicated members of the steering committee will focus through education, outreach, and policy change.
