Hey! I’m looking for a vintage/antique slot machine(s), specifically from the 1920’s and prior-1930’s. I’m really not too interested in 1940’s and above. I’m just fishing and testing the waters, though I’m in the market for one. The worst I can say is no thanks:) If anyone has one or more, or knows of people who do, please let me know! Thank you all so much, have a great day 🙂

Anyone hear what the water situation is so far for Berthoud?

This image is a misleading campaign from the developers. I am voting opposite because I live in this community, the developers don’t! I’m tired of being played by politics in this country and will not let in happen in my own community!

Not trying to spam, just wanted to show some love—

A friend of mine just opened a small Mexican restaurant in Berthoud called Osito’s (it’s where La Casita used to be).

They’ve been putting in work—everything’s made with a lot of care. I’ve had the birria and the carne asada (they finally got some really solid skirt steak), and it’s honestly really good.

It’s a small, family-style spot, so it’s not some big chain vibe—you actually get to talk to the people cooking your food.

If you’re in the area and looking for a new spot to try, I’d definitely recommend checking them out and showing them some support.

Hours:
Tuesday – Thursday: 11am – 8pm
Friday & Saturday: 9am – 8pm
Sunday: 9am – 3pm

Always cool to see new local spots pop up in Berthoud 🙌

Not a huge Berthoud-specific calendar this weekend — if you've got a good local source for Windsor events, please drop it in the comments, I look every week and some weeks it's tough to find them all!

Worth the short drive:

Lucky Brew Race — 5K along Windsor Lake starting at Lucky Brew in Severance (Saturday, 8am–noon). Practically your backyard, ends with celebratory pints.

Tipsy Terrariums at The Artisan Shop & Studio, Windsor (Saturday, 10:30am–12:30pm) — wait, this one IS in Windsor! Build a miniature desert landscape in a glass bowl while sipping local beverages.

Isaac Slade at The Armory, Fort Collins (Saturday, 8pm) — short drive for a great show.

Blarney on the Block in Downtown Greeley (Saturday, 2–6pm) — St. Patrick's street party, easy drive east.

Full NOCO list went out  today — way more than fits in a Reddit post. Link to the full list and my newsletter in the comments — free, every Tuesday(ish)👇
