I n 1930 Berthoud’s Chamber of Commerce launched a trade campaign that promised shop- pers an opportunity to win a “Pot of Gold” for purchasing merchandise in local stores. Last month a group of lo- cal merchants that included Berthoud Drug Store, Berthoud Habitat for Humanity, City Star Brewery, D’s Boutique, Da Bean, Indigo Sky, Main Street Car Care, Renaze Salon & Day Spa, Simply Shabulous and Wishful Living launched a weekly business-boosting event under the name “Thursday Night on the Town” to encourage the patronage of the town’s residents. In 1930 the Pot of Gold drawing took place on Saturday nights when it was the custom for local farmers to bring their families to town to shop and socialize. This year a Thursday night farmers’ market held in Fickel Park anchors the “Thursday Night on the Town” event that also aims to attract local residents to the town’s business houses. The two campaigns may be separated by a span of eight decades but both tackle the question of how to get local citizens to support Berthoud businesses. Berthoud’s Chamber of Commerce was especially active in the late 1920s when Mountain Avenue be- came part of a paved state highway and local residents began driving their automobiles out of town to do their shopping. In 1929 a summer trade campaign that encouraged residents to take advantage of spe- cial sales in Berthoud stores was so successful that the third Saturday of August was set aside as a day of community celebration. A free movie — Manhattan Cocktail — along with a short comedy feature was shown three times over the course of the day at the Moon Theatre, located at 342 Massachusetts Ave. That evening the Berthoud Booster Band also provided a free concert from the south platform of the Berthoud Farm Products grain elevator at the corner of Third Street and Massachusetts Avenue. The crowning glory of the event oc- curred that night when the Berthoud Amusement Hall located in the old Davis-Hartford general store building was opened for free dancing to the ac- companiment of the Rose Orchestra. The Berthoud Bulletin later reported that thousands of people descended on Berthoud that evening to enjoy the entertainment and shop in the town’s stores that stayed open late to accom- modate hordes of shoppers. One year later in 1930 the Berthoud Chamber of Commerce organized a “Pot of Gold” promotion that provided shoppers with tickets for a drawing when they made pur- chases at local stores. Every Saturday night the Pot of Gold drawing was held at a small stand that had been constructed in the 500 block of Third Street for that purpose. The Berthoud newspaper never revealed what priz- es were won or the identities of the people who won them, but the cam- paign ran successfully throughout that summer. This summer, 83 years later, the “Thursday Night on the Town” event utilizes a bingo game to de- termine prize winners. To enter the prize drawing individuals or teams of contestants are required to visit businesses in order to solve riddles or answer questions that allow them to complete bingo cards and enter a drawing for a prize that is awarded Friday morning. In 1998 I commissioned local artist Kathleen Gruman to create a paint- ing, “A Night on the Town,” that de- picted a Saturday night in Berthoud in the summer of 1930 when the Pot of Gold promotion drew throngs of shoppers to Berthoud. In that year when my mother was a young child the event created such a hubbub that it has remained deeply ingrained in her memory. Here’s hoping that the 2013 “Thursday Night on the Town” serves as a foundation for future promo- tions that draw local residents to Berthoud’s downtown district. If the community desires a vibrant downtown business district it is im- portant to patronize the businesses that are located here to insure they thrive.

He was born in Loveland, Colo. on Dec. 26, 1995 to Pauline and Mark Berger. Steven was a very attractive young man and he loved to try new things, whether it be a sport or any other kind of adventure. Snowboarding was one of his current fa- vorite pastimes. He was a hard worker as well and was currently work- ing at Berthoud Drug and Brick Oven Pizza. He wanted to save mon- ey to take a trip to Europe with his friends after high school as well as to pay for college. He attended Berthoud schools from kindergarten and was going to be a senior at Berthoud High School this year. He enjoyed spending time with all the friends he had made there. Steven is survived by his par- ents; Mark and Pauline Berger, sisters Allison Berger and Kristina (Matt) Ronne; grandparents Roz (David) Walker, Jim Hanson, and Jim Schultz; great- grandparents Dorothy Felt; aunts and uncles, Susie and Roy Steele, Debbie and Dave Bodigger, and Bret Hanson; and cousins Stephanie, David and Christopher Bodigger, and Sarah and Matthew Steele, all of Colorado. Steven chose to be an organ donor which was honored by his family, fol- lowed by a private cremation service with his family.

Gruman created the painting for Mark French in 1998. Sign up for spraying notifications in unincorporated Larimer County Larimer County has an e-mail notification service to allow residents to be notified when and where truck-based mosquito spraying will take place in unincorporated areas of Larimer County. When spray locations have been identified, an e-mail will be sent to all the members of this service with this information. Sub- scribers can only be contacted by e-mail at this time. Portions of unincorporated Larimer County that were sprayed for West Nile mosquitoes the week of Aug. 12 – 16 will receive the second round of spraying by Colorado Mosquito Control on either Monday evening, Aug. 19 or Tuesday evening, Aug. 20. Weather permitting, areas north of Mulberry will be sprayed on Monday evening. Weather permit- ting, areas south of Mulberry will be sprayed on Tuesday evening. To see maps of areas to be sprayed and a sched- ule of spraying, see www.comosquitocon- trol.com/Spray_Schedules.html. For information on West Nile virus, see: http://larimer.org/health/cd/westnile.cfm, www.cdc.gov/westnile/index.html www.fightthebitecolorado.com/ www.comosquitocontrol.com/ Roving DUI Checkpoints The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office and the Larimer County DUI Task Force will be conducting roving DUI check- points this Friday, Aug. 16. In addition, increased patrols will be added through- out the National Crackdown Labor Day enforcement period which begins Friday, Aug. 16 and runs through Monday, Sept. 2. The checkpoints are part of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Checkpoint Colorado campaign and The Heat is On. The time and loca- tion of checkpoints are not released in advance. The goals of the checkpoints are to decrease the number of impaired driv- ers on Colorado roadways, educate the public regarding the dangers of drink- ing and driving, and to prevent alcohol related traffic fatalities. According to CDOT, each year more than 26,000 people are arrested for DUI and nearly 150 people are killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes — representing more than one-third of Colorado’s total motor vehicle fatalities. Drug impaired driving is also a serious problem, with 16 percent of fatalities (2006-2010) involving drivers who tested posi- tive for drugs. Last year, the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office made 49 DUI arrests during this period of time. On average a DUI can cost more than $10,270 dollars in court fees, insurance premiums, alcohol education classes, the loss of your license and in some cases an ignition interlock that has to be installed in your car. In addition to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office, the Larimer County DUI Task Force includes Fort Collins Police Services, Loveland Police Department, Colorado State University Police Depart- ment and the Colorado State Patrol. If you plan on drinking or using drugs, please make alternate plans for trans- portation. Remember, drive sober or get pulled over.
