Entertain the family without breaking the bank

Entertainment now a days can be pricey especially for a family. But here is something you will definitely enjoy if you are a concert lover. For a small fee ($60.00) you can join the Swallow Hill Music Association. This price covers a family of four with extra tickets discounted. We used to frequent many of the concerts there when we lived in the area. It was worth it tenfold. They have many things to offer including classes and workshops. Check out their website listed below.

We also enjoy the free jazz concert in Estes Park every summer. Not only is the drive up there beautiful, but the concerts are great.

The other idea is to check your local paper for free community events. There are quite a few that have no charge. You can also check the chamber of commerce for any given location. The Colorado Country Life magazine also has events listed for those of us who are Rural Electric Association members. If you are not a customer of an REA, you can still get the information at: www.coloradocountrylife.coop, and click on the calendar for events all over the state.

Another idea is to join the community recreation center in your neighborhood. It is definitely less costly than a private gym but offers the same services for the entire family. You can often purchase membership for the entire year or just a few months or a punch card.
