Volunteers stamp cards as part of the Valentine remailing program

When a town is known around the world for celebrating love, that town better go all out for Valentine's Day, and that's what Loveland does.

For nearly 80 years, Loveland has embraced all things surrounding love: hearts, poems, weddings, community. It's not only a big tourism endeavor for the city, but a way to celebrate Loveland's history.

When times can seem so chaotic, it's fun to open up our hearts for some fun.

Having grown up in Loveland, I have a strong affinity for the town and its nearly bombastic way of getting into Valentine's Day, every year. It's not known as "The Sweetheart City" for nothing, that's for sure.

It's not just the Loveland community, or the surrounding Northern Colorado area, that's involved; the whole world is a part of the Valentine Remailing Program, getting their valentines stamped with the yearly stamp (cache) and poem.

Yes, Loveland has hundreds of sculptures throughout the town, but folks can enjoy those all year; the Valentine's Day season, like a first love, is temporary. I

Over 400 "love note" hearts will adorn streetlights throughout Loveland for the season. They can be a bit distracting as you drive, but they're one-of-a-kind.

I once did a fun "radio bit" where, after Valentine's Day, I interviewed the crew taking down the hearts asking if they had seen any hearts that mentioned someone loving me.

Like, 'Dave, I love You - Millie?'

No.

'Veronica & Dave 4-Ever?'

No.

'Crystal Hearts Dave?'

Nope.

It was hysterical.

The 2025 Valentine season in Loveland will include:

The weather during the week of Christmas is forecast to be warm enough to sneak in a round of golf.

But if playing at Marianna Butte Golf Course in west Loveland, you might be asked to skip a hole or two.

Not because of winter conditions, but because at times a large herd of elk can consume the fairway of several of the wildlife's favorite holes.

Brook Bell, head pro at the city-owned golf course, said the herd, which can number into the hundreds, seems to prefer the front nine.

"They usually are on holes two through five and one and nine," he said. "But we did have a herd taking up the No. 15 fairway as well a month or so ago. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason but they tend to stick to the same holes."

The Estes Park area, including Rocky Mountain National Park, is home to about 2,000 elk. About half of those elk migrate in late fall and early winter to the west side of Loveland from Masonville on the north to Carter Lake on the south.

And just like in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, the large elk herd draws crowds to the golf course and surrounding area.

"I have seen a number of vehicles parked along Rossum Drive stopping to take pictures of the elk on No. 2," Bell said. "The course is private property so we don't allow people wanting to the view elk on the course; golfers only."

He said his experience is golfers don't come to play golf at Marianna Butte to see the elk, which can be a hindrance to play around, but for the beauty of the course.

"The priority for golfers is to get every hole in," Bell said. "But we ask golfers to skip the holes that the elk are on and not disturb them. The elk were here first."

Bell said this year the elk started showing up at the course in late October and early November. He said the herd swells throughout the winter. And before returning to the Estes Valley in late April or early May, those elk leave more than divots.

"They are very tough on the course," he said. "We try to mitigate it as best we can by roping off some of the greens but they still tend to get into them. And if they fight or play around, they leave a bunch of hoof marks that we have to fix."

He added that's not the worst of the problems.

"Hoof marks on the greens aren't as big a problem as the urine spots," Bell said. "When it starts greening up, we spend a couple months tilling up and fertilizing each one of those urine spots."

Elk began migrating in larger numbers to the west side of Loveland starting five years or more ago. They end up on private land or open spaces managed by the city of Loveland or Larimer County where hunting is not allowed.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife told the Coloradoan previously about 95% of the elk that migrate from higher elevations stay on the west side of Loveland. Not only do the elk cause damage to the golf course but also eat hay and alfalfa on private land and tear down fences.

Private landowners can apply for damage compensation through the wildlife agency.

The elk also pose a safety risk on the surrounding roads with collisions increasing during winter months, especially at the U.S. Highway 34 and Glade Road intersection, where the elk at times cause traffic jams.

Bell said he also sees vehicles parked along North Namaqua Avenue, just east of the course, to view the elk.

"If they are not on the course or in the foothills, there is a good chance you will find them there," he said.
