Rocky Mountain Skydive Grand opening!

Just south of Greeley in the Eaton Valley resides a small airstrip. Surrounded by fields upon fields makes this the perfect location for the Rocky Mountain Skydive club to open up shop. I followed along with a small group of daring individuals as they experienced their first jumps.

Many Greeley residents agree that the Rocky Mountain Skydive Location is sure to bring many seeking the ultimate thrill.

Ron Ross, Owner/Publisher of TidBits was one of those daring enough to make the dive. At age 73 Ron decided that he was going to skydive along side his close friends. His family as well as many friends and the Greeley Tribute Gathered in support of Ron as he crossed an item off of his bucket list. When Ron was asked why he was skydiving his only response was "well, I am certainly not getting any younger".

The anxiety was starting to fill for everyone, including those who where bystanders. "This morning I woke up with butterflies in my stomach and ever since I have been trying to get them to fly in formation" said Ron while being interviewed by the Greeley Tribute.

Ron grew up in a family with flying in their blood. Ron was one of the first that did not carry on the tradition of flight. In an interview before the flight Ron explained that he never felt the need to jump out of a perfectly good plane but he still wanted to accomplish this item from his bucket list before he was too old.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
