Community, Family, and Spring Events Shine in Northern Colorado

by Blaine Howerton | NorthFortyNews.com

What a difference a week makes. I wanted to start with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who reached out after my note last week. Your kindness means more than you know. I’m relieved to share that my dad and stepmom are doing fine. We’ve taken steps to get both of them the care they need, and my aunt even made the trip from Salt Lake City to lend a hand. Family and community support like this reminds me why I do what I do.

Now, on to what’s happening across Northern Colorado—spring is in full swing and so is local life! Here are three of our most-read stories this week:

1. Northern Colorado’s Top 25 Easter Events in 2025
   We’ve pulled together the most comprehensive list of Easter events in the region, categorized by city and popularity—from family egg hunts to Easter Sunday brunches.
2. Sonny Lubick Steakhouse: Where Fort Collins Tradition Sizzles
   In this week’s “Top Eats” feature, I visited this iconic downtown spot where fine dining meets Ram pride. A must-read if you haven’t been in a while.
3. Spring Plant Sale Returns to The Gardens on Spring Creek
   Gardeners, rejoice! This beloved sale is back with perennials, herbs, and veggies grown right here in our community.
