When’s the last time we’ve had a Hollywood Party in Loveland? I’m afraid it’s been longer than I’ve been around in our little town. Well, Sunday January 29th we are celebrating with Beau Cybulski as he comes back to Loveland to celebrate with his family and friends for his first major TV appearance.
Dr. Drake Tollefson and Dr. Daniel Kelley will be holding a “Give Kids A Smile” event Friday March 2nd, 2012 at both locations Loveland & Terrace Park for the third year in a row!!
The program is designed to donate free dental care to the children who do not receive state assistance (medicaid) or have dental insurance. Last year Dr. Tollefson and Dr. Kelley donated over $30,000 dollars to the children in need. We are working with school nurses at Loveland Elementary, Pattison Elementary, and Mariemont Elementary to locate children for this year’s event.
For more information, you can contact them at distinctivesmile@gmail.com!

Were you aware we have a by-the-slice pizzaria in Loveland? We found out last week that we have a new place to eat in the Loveland Crossing plaza. Rosario’s brings New York pizza to Loveland.

Why don’t you stop by and try one of his pizza’s or perhaps a delicious calzone and let him know you heard about him here. If you like it as much as we did, spread the word and let your friends know there’s a litle bit of New York in Loveland!

Loveland’s fine dining is two years old next week! Tano would like to invite us to celebrate with him, offering incredible meals and delicious wines for just $11 to make his 2nd anniversary special! Check out the details below and we’ll see you on the 11th!

Tano will be sharing a portion of the night’s proceeds with The Loveland Food Pantry and will be giving away prizes. In fact, I’m not sure which I’d rather win, money to eat at Tano’s or a chance to take a class with Tano himself! Either way, I’m sure it would be a truly grand prize!
