Exploring Windsor, A Whirlwind of New Experiences and History!

Windsor, a name that might evoke images of English roy alty but is, in reality, a hidden gem nestled right here in our beloved Colorado. This charming town, with its perfect blend of old-world allure and modern vibrancy, offers a smorgasbord of delights that can tantalize even the most discerning of tastes.

First, on our itinerary, let’s talk about the growing restaurant scene. Windsor's culinary landscape is blossoming like a well-watered garden in spring. Take, for instance, the new hotspot Luna's Tacos & Tequila, where the street tacos are as visually appealing as they are delectable. If you’re in the mood for something fast, Chicken Salad Chick will open their doors soon and transport your taste buds.  And don't get me started on all the patios Windsor has to offer.  Fun fact...Windsor has over 20 patios scattered all over this town.  The Hearth Restaurant, Windsor Mill Tavern, Gourmet Grub, Highland Meadows Grill, Pizza Vino, and Teds Sweetwater Grill, to name just a few!  I challenge you to try to find all of them this summer and tell us which ones are your favorites  I bet you won't just have one!  I know I don't!

Of course, Windsor's heart beats strongest through its community spirit, embodied by its non-profits. Take a glimpse into the 9 non-profits that we explore in this issue.  These are only a few in Northern Colorado and a testament to the town’s commitment to giving back.

And speaking of heritage, let's not forget Windsor’s deep historical roots. While it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of the new, Windsor's history provides a fascinating backdrop to its modern developments. The Windsor Museum (make sure you check times and dates before going), offers a treasure collection of artifacts and stories, and provides a peek into the town's past, from its founding days to its evolution into the vibrant community it is today. Did you know that the Great Western Sugar Company once called Windsor home? The remnants of this sweet legacy can still be seen in the town’s architecture and community spirit.

So, dear readers, whether you're a foodie, a history buff, or simply someone looking to explore, Windsor offers a rich tapestry of experiences waiting to be discovered. As we navigate through this delightful blend of the old and the new, remember every corner of Windsor has a story, and every story adds a unique flavor to our wonderful town.

Here’s to new adventures and treasured traditions!

LG Sonic Buoys to be Installed in Windsor Lake

The Town of Windsor is relying on technology for improving water quality at Windsor Lake this season. Four state-of-the-art LG Sonic MPC-Buoys will be deployed in Windsor Lake before boating season to improve water quality in the lake and downstream by using ultrasonic sound waves to disrupt algae. This technology blocks algae’s access to sunlight and nutrients, causing them to sink to the bottom of the lake and die without releasing harmful toxins.

ARTICLE BY TAYLOR HENDERSON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SANTORA PHOTO CO.

David and Jessica Zumbrun brought Chicken Salad Chick from Auburn, Alabama to Greeley because they wanted to share the food, hospitality and culture from the southern United States restaurant with Northern Colorado. The couple vacationed in Auburn in 2019, discovered Chicken Salad Chick and fell in love with it.

That same day, they contacted the company about the potential of bringing “The Chick” to Colorado. The process took four years, but their dedication allowed them to open the doors to Northern Colorado’s very first Chicken Salad Chick, right here in Greeley.

The Zumbruns’ passion only grew over that time, and this summer, they are opening two new locations in Johnstown and Windsor. Both restaurants will feature a dining room and drive-thru, familiar designs to anyone who has visited The Chick in Greeley.

One of the deciding factors for the new restaurant locations was space for the drivethru. David has worked diligently over the past few years to identify and acquire locations that suited The Chick brand.

As franchisees of Chicken Salad Chick, David and Jessica own all three locations in Northern Colorado. The Zumbruns are proud of their team, many of whom have been onboard from the very start.

When Stacy Brown founded Chicken Salad Chick, the stay-at-home mom relied on her family and neighbors for taste-testing and support; David and Jessica have replicated her process by making their community the center of their business model.

David and Jessica are also proud to support the local community by offering Spirit Nights at the restaurant. Spirit Nights provide organizations an opportunity to have a portion of the sales donated back to the organization.

The Grand Opening celebrations for both of their new locations (Windsor and Johnstown) are scheduled for August, with the first 100 customers receiving free Chicken Salad Chick for a year.

David and Jessica are proud to support the local community.

NORTHERN COLORADO CATTLE BARON'S BALL

Kaye Monfort's Legacy

Cattle Baron’s Ball is the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) premier, Western-themed gala, celebrating 32 years in Northern Colorado. For more than three decades, this event and the Northern Colorado Community have supported the mission work of the American Cancer Society, raising over $11 million for patient support programs and lifesaving cancer research.

In 2023, among more than 150 gala events the ACS hosted across the country, the Northern Colorado Cattle Baron’s Ball ranked as the tenth highest grossing event, following major metro markets such as San Francisco and Dallas.

More than three decades ago, the local Director of the American Cancer Society pitched the idea of starting Cattle Baron’s Ball in Northern Colorado to Kaye Monfort. Being no stranger to the livestock industry, Western way of life, and helping others, the idea resonated with Kaye. She loved the idea because “it would be for cancer research, education and help for local cancer patients.” We have made enormous strides and progress over the years, but still cancer continues to hit home for all of us, far too often.

Unfortunately, our community recently lost Kaye to cancer.

While Cattle Baron’s Ball has evolved over the last 32 years since Kaye brought the event to Northern

Colorado, the American Cancer Society and our community are forever grateful to Kaye for her dedication to this event and creating a generous village of people dedicated to supporting local cancer patients and ending cancer as we know it. Kaye was an incredible leader and invaluable member of our Cattle Baron’s village.

This year’s event theme, selected by this year’s chairs Craig & Tara Rasmuson, is “It Takes a Village to End Cancer,” because, as we all know, it takes a village of people to support someone through cancer – from diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.

While each patient’s village looks a little different, from friends and family to their medical team and beyond, the American Cancer Society is honored to be a resource and part of cancer patients’ villages in Colorado and across the country.

This year, the mission paddle raise at the Northern Colorado Cattle Baron’s Ball will fund patient services in Colorado through critical information (cancer.org and 1-800-227-2345), transportation to and from treatment and lodging when treatment is far from home.

To learn more about the event and how you can support cancer patients in Colorado, visit cbbnoco.com

... our community (is) forever grateful to Kaye for her dedication to this event ...

IN DOWNTOWN WINDSOR

LIVE LOCAL AND EXPLORE OUR DOWNTOWN

Nestled in the heart of Northern Colorado, Windsor is a charming town with a rich history that dates back to the late 19th century. Founded in 1882, Windsor began as a small agricultural community, benefiting from the fertile lands of the Cache la Poudre River Valley. The arrival of the Great Western Railway in 1902 spurred growth, transforming Windsor into a bustling hub for sugar beet farming and processing. Downtown Windsor became the

epicenter of this growth, with businesses and homes sprouting up to support the burgeoning population.

In the early 20th century, downtown Windsor was characterized by its classic Main Street, lined with essential services, general stores, and family-owned businesses. As the town grew, it retained its small-town charm, fostering a close-knit community atmosphere. The architecture from this period still stands, offering a glimpse into the town's historic past.

Today, downtown Windsor offers a delightful blend of historical charm and

modern amenities, making it a vibrant destination for residents and visitors alike. The variety of shops and stores reflects the town's evolution while staying true to its roots.  Main Street is home to an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, and specialty stores. You can find everything from specialty boutiques to fine dining. For those who appreciate handcrafted goods, there are stores featuring local artisans’ work, including handmade jewelry, pottery, and textiles. Food enthusiasts can enjoy a range of culinary delights, from cozy cafes serving locally roasted coffee to

“LOVING WHERE YOU LIVE CREATES A SENSE OF PLACE, LEAVING BEHIND A LEGACY FOR OTHERS TO ENJOY AND FOSTER.”

- MICHELLE VANCE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTORWINDSOR DOWNTOWN ALLIANCE

upscale restaurants offering farm-to-table dining experiences.  Windsor downtown also hosts several seasonal markets and events that showcase local vendors and artisans. The Windsor Farmers Market, for example, is a popular destination during the warmer months, providing a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts.  The Summer Concert Series at Boardwalk Park on Windsor Lake draws family and friends to the downtown area for relaxing evenings.  Chalk on the Walk is a fun and creative event for young and old hearts to showcase their artistic talents up and down Main Street! These events,

to name a few, not only offer unique shopping opportunities but also reinforce the community's commitment to supporting local businesses.

Shopping locally in downtown Windsor offers numerous benefits, both for consumers and the community at large. One of the most significant advantages is the economic impact. When residents spend money at local businesses, a larger portion of that revenue stays within the community. This helps to create jobs, support local entrepreneurs, and generate tax revenue that can be reinvested in public services and infrastructure.  Local businesses

are also more likely to source their products and services from other local suppliers, creating a multiplier effect that further boosts the local economy. This interconnected network of businesses fosters a sense of community and collaboration, contributing to Windsor's unique and vibrant local culture.  Socially, local businesses play a crucial role in building community ties. They are often involved in local events, sponsorships, and charitable activities, fostering a sense of belonging and mutual support among residents. Shopping locally allows consumers to build personal relationships with business owners and staff, enhancing the overall shopping experience and creating a sense of trust and loyalty.

Looking ahead, downtown Windsor is poised for continued growth and revitalization. The town's strategic location, strong community spirit, and commitment to preserving its historical heritage while embracing modern development set the stage for a bright future.  One of the key aspects of Windsor's future is the ongoing efforts to enhance and beautify the downtown area. With the creation of a new master Plan, Windsor Downtown Alliance has planned several initiatives to improve infrastructure, pedestrian accessibility,

and public spaces.  These efforts aim to create a more inviting, pedestrian-friendly, safe, and vibrant downtown environment that attracts redevelopment, residents, and visitors.  New potential developments and investments are also on the horizon, with plans for mixed-use buildings that combine residential, commercial, and retail spaces. This approach not only maximizes the best and highest use of prime property, but also promotes a lively, 24/7 downtown atmosphere, uniquely combined with the lake and the water activities

it offers. The introduction of more housing options within the downtown area will encourage people to live, work, and shop locally, further strengthening the community's economic base.  Furthermore, Windsor is actively exploring opportunities to promote cultural and recreational activities in the downtown area. The planning for a potential plaza, art installations, and increased parking will provide spaces for residents to safely gather, socialize, and enjoy a variety of cultural experiences. These initiatives aim to enhance the quality

of life in Windsor and create a downtown area that is both dynamic and inclusive.  In conclusion, downtown Windsor boasts a rich history, a variety of shops and stores, and a community-driven approach to economic and social well-being. The benefits of shopping locally are manifold, contributing to a stronger economy, a healthier environment, and a more connected community. With a clear vision and ongoing efforts to enhance and revitalize its downtown area, Windsor is well-positioned for a prosperous and vibrant future.

Thyme FOR A TASTE

BRINGING INTERNATIONAL CUISINE TO NORTHERN COLORADO

Chef Linda Orcutt came to Colorado from California where she hosted a cooking show on San Diego’s premier morning show, “San Diego Living,” which is now known as “Good Morning San Diego.”   While traveling internationally for her previous husband’s career, Linda discovered her passion for cooking and international cuisine.  The intricate flavors and details each country and their dishes offered inspired Linda to explore them more by talking to chefs at different restaurants and cafes.  Linda found herself making connections and began teaching

culinary classes at the Ritz Paris, a legendary hotel located in the heart of the city!  French cooking quickly became Linda’s favorite and upon returning to California she couldn’t wait to share what she had learned not just in France, but also Italy, Germany, Spain, as well as culinary techniques derived from her Filipino roots.

Linda began teaching cooking classes at the San Diego Library where a representative with San Diego Living approached her and she soon found herself hosting a cooking show called “The Kitchen Studio,” which aired every Friday afternoon for several years!

After moving to Colorado Linda met her current husband, Jim.  Having been a farmer and cattle rancher in Nebraska for 40 years,

Jim not only brought his green thumb to Linda’s culinary world, but also award-winning beef raised and processed directly from his cattle ranch.  Together, Linda and Jim created “Thyme For A Taste” where they share their knowledge and farm to table food with others looking to expand their culinary skills, as well as their palates!  During the fall, Linda focuses on teaching culinary classes in her home.  During the summer, Linda and Jim focus on hosting farm-to-table dinners in the barn on their beautiful property, featuring different international dishes, fresh California cuisine, as well as comforting favorites.  To discover more about Thyme For A Taste visit  thymeforataste.com.  Your tastebuds will thank you!
