Y’all know about the Tour de Fat. We didn’t. For years, if in Foco over Labor Day weekend, we headed for the hills. This year we decided we’d see what all the hoopla was about. It was something to be seen.
First off, there’s no better way to start the day than at your neighbors' driveway breakfast gathering. This was definitely a crew of people who appreciate FoCo. And with hosts like these, how can you not have a fabulous time?

The parade went on and on and on. Hours of interesting viewing. We stopped at these peoples’ house:
Again, with hosts like these, a good time is certain, no?
FoCo is a town that knows how to gather – on scales big and small.
[We still did sneak away to the mountains for a bit of Labor Day celebration and contemplation. Much gratitude to all those who have made it possible for us to plant this flag here:
