N ancy Wee’s passionis infectious. Spend afew minutes visiting

with her about her job, andyou’ll find yourself itchingto book a trip. Even after 33years in the travel business,much of it spent personallyguiding group trips, shestill gets excited about theprospect of hitting the road(or the sky, or the ocean, orthe river...) again.

Wee Travel is a full servicetravel agency, but, as Weeexplains,“people often don’tknow what that means.” Inshort, if you have any travelneed,Wee Travel can helpyou create the perfect trip.That includes bus tours, rivercruises, theater tickets, flights,ocean cruises – you name it.Granted, you could book manyof the same services onlineyourself, but without thepersonal interaction a skilledagent can provide, it’s muchharder to ensure you’re gettingthe best deal.

While the staff at Wee Travelcan assist with any kind oftravel booking, they specializein guided group trips. Mostpopular among these areAlaskan and Mediterraneancruises, though Wee is quickto point at that Caribbeancruises are well-liked, too. Sheexplains that clients are fondof cruises for two reasons: one,because, apart from beverages,they’re all inclusive; and two,because they include multipledestinations, giving travelersmore site seeing options thana single destination trip.

Wee’s guided trips areparticularly popular. Groupsrange in size from around 20to nearly 100, often includinga mix of friends and family

who already know oneanother, and fellow vacation-goers who’ve yet to meet.Theadvantages of a guided tripare considerable.Wee, whois, herself, very well traveled,can make recommendationsabout local tourist attractions,restaurants, sites and otherentertainment.Additionally,she secures a number ofamenities for her groups,including special meals,cocktail parties and otherevents.

“Of course, people don’thave to stick with the group,”Wee explains. Some wouldrather explore on their own,and that’s just fine. However, ifgroup members would preferto take in the sites with aknowledgeable guide, she’sthere to help everyone get themost out of their trip.

On May 4th,Wee Travel willbe celebrating 26 years attheir current location.Withdeep roots in the Broomfieldcommunity,Wee Travel offersall the customer service andoptions you’d expect from abig business with the charmand personal attention of asmall town specialty shop.What’s more,Wee Travelis a proud member of thelocal community, regularlysupporting various communityefforts, like Dancing with theBroomfield Stars.

Proceedssupportthe local

community

Completely volunteerrun, the BroomfieldFarmers’ Market at Holy

Comforter Church has created awelcoming space with the bestlocal produce, live music andfriendly vendors. It was in factvoted Colorado’s favorite farmers’market in 2012.

Holy Comforter EpiscopalChurch sponsors the market,but the church’s governing bodyis committed to donating netrevenues back to the community.No market proceeds are used tosupport the church operations.

Coordinator Dave Carter isone of the market’s volunteermanagers (it is run entirely byunsalaried volunteers).“I havebeen involved since...a dinnerparty in late 2010 when someoneasked,‘Why don’t we start afarmers’ market on the empty lotin front of the church?’”

While he handles the overallmarket operations, he is quickto mention how Broomfieldhas contributed to its success.“The community support hasbeen fantastic,”he continues.“Mayor Quinn helped presideover the ribbon cutting openingour market each of the pastthree seasons. Several areabusinesses have helped sponsorspecial days for their employeesat the market.The BroomfieldEnterprise and other localpublications have helped usspread the word.”

The market is dedicated toensuring that the locally grownfood it offers is accessibleto residents throughoutthe community.“We haveimplemented a program todouble the value of any benefitsredeemed at our market byresidents on SNAP (SupplementalNutrition Assistance Program),”Carter explains.“Some of our

produce and bread vendorscontribute unsold goods eachweek to Broomfield FISH.”

Last year those contributionstopped two tons!

As the market has grown, onechallenge has been to remaina farmers’ market. Many localpeople want to sell variousproducts and services throughthe market, and this has causedCarter and staff to make somehard decisions.“While many ofthese are great products andservices, we want to make surethat locally-grown food remainsthe cornerstone of our market,”he says.“That’s why we limit non-food vendors to no more than20 percent of our market space,and we require those vendorsto offer products that are locallygrown or somehow related tothe mission of our market.”

Several promotions andspecial events are in store atthe market this year.The“IronChef”competition, featuringtwo local chefs competing withingredients purchased frommarket vendors, returns in Augustunder the sponsorship of theColorado Culinary Academy.Themarket hopes to have a specialevent or promotion each week.It will also be hosting a farm-to-table dinner in September.

The Broomfield Farmers’Market at Holy Comforter will beopen for the season on Tuesdaysfrom 4 to 7 p.m. beginning June11th through September.Youcan’t miss it at the intersection ofHighway 287 and W. 10th Avenue.Visit holycomforterchurch.net orfind the market on Facebook.

COMMUNITY FROM PAGE 4

Broomfield still manages topreserve, even through itsamazing growth,” said Jenni-fer Kerr, president of theBroomfield Chamber ofCommerce and a Broomfieldresident since childhood.

The best-known Midwayevent is Broomfield Days, anannual tradition thatincludes a parade that drawsa crowd of thousands eachfall. This year, the festiveprocession will make its wayalong Midway Boulevard onSept. 20.

The event also typicallyincludes music, dance per-formances, a dog costumecontest, festival booths and acar show.

Longtime resident PaulDerda, for whom the city’srecreation center is named,said the annual celebrationhelps define Broomfield’stight-knit community andshows that “we are allBroomfield.”

Though Broomfield Daysis the most recognizableevent at Midway Park, thecommunity gathers in thepark throughout the year forsports practices, birthdayparties at the Girl ScoutShelter or a bit of after-school playtime on the play-ground.

In December, the trees inthe park are decked out inmulticolored, eye-catchinglights, which helps set thetone for the holidays.

“During the holidays, Ilove driving down MidwayBoulevard to look at all ofthe lights in Midway Park. Itis peaceful and beautiful andreminds me of Broomfieldwhen I was much younger,”Kerr said.School spirit sparkscommunity spirit:

Nothing brings a commu-nity together like its highschool spirit, said GingerRamsey, principal at Broom-

field High.Ramsey, along with Holy

Family High principal TimGallic, said high schools’community events are oneway to celebrate Broomfield,while offering a place forfamilies and friends to drumup support all the way up tothe final buzzer.

“The best place to play,relax (and) hang out is atBroomfield High Schoolactivities and athleticevents,” Ramsey said.

“This was reinforced tome... at the state girls’ bas-ketball championship game(in March), where I lookedup into the crowd and saw asea of Broomfield Blue onmany of our communitymembers who came out tosupport our girls.”

Though the team lost thechampionship, Broomfieldwas there to watch the finalminutes and cheer them on,she said.

Gallic, principal at HolyFamily, said his school also

is a hot spot for high schoolsports throughout the year.

The school also offers upits outside track during thesummer for a wider commu-nity event, the annualBroomfield Relay For Life.This year’s relay is June 6.

The relay pays tributes tocancer survivors and honorsthose who have lost their

battles with the diseasewhile raising money for theAmerican Cancer Society.

Last year’s all-night relaybrought in more than$60,000.

Legacy High School alsobrings its school spirit to theBroomfield community.

The school’s Legacy Light-ning marching band will per-form in the 126th Tourna-ment of Roses Parade inPasadena, Calif., on NewYear’s Day 2015.

About 60 million peoplesee the parade each year,with about 25 million tuninginto the parade on TV oronline.

“Legacy will be front andcenter” to represent Broom-field, said Tournament ofRoses president RichardChinen.
