Message from the Chair: 
Adam Bowen’s campaign for County Commissioner is coming to Barackfast this month. I’ve loved and attended this event for over 2 ½ years now for its classic political salon style of give and take.  It will be no different this coming Sunday with Adam Bowen engaging the hard issues of Larimer County with his characteristic honesty and insight. Adam Bowen is going to make an incredible County Commissioner; come see how he plans to meet the challenges of this era head on.

I would also like to encourage everyone to remember that our success this year will be directly related to the amount of volunteer hours we donate.
