3rd Annual Front Range Rally
The Front Range Rally is a festival celebrating Colorado’s rich culture of craft brewing and the emergence of a growing cadre of quality mobile food vendors. The two certainly go hand-in-hand and are a logical choice to support the work of Food Bank for Larimer County.
Last year, 40 craft breweries and 10 food vendors served up an amazing array of unique food and fantastic beer. If you were there, you know what a blast it was. With 50 craft breweries and 12 food trucks, they're working to make it even better this year.
One hundred percent of the net proceeds from the festival go directly to Food Bank for Larimer County. In 2014, with a staff of 34 and over 2,400 volunteers, Food Bank provided more than 8.9 million pounds of food to thousands of people who struggle each day to feed themselves and their families. Front Range Rally is proud to be part of their mission.
Plan to join in on Saturday May 30, 2015 at the LOVELAND FOOD SHARE, 2600 N. Lincoln, Loveland, CO for an afternoon of food, beer, music, fun and community.
