Berthoud, Colorado Mug

Berthoud is a cute little town in Northern Colorado with a population of about 5,000. It's a rural based community and Caucasian but the township is not racist. The people are young and active but they can be boring and cliquish. Workers commute and most families have a dog or a horse. The populous is a mix of the highly educated who have chosen to raise families there and those who were born there. There are two elementary schools. Berthoud Elementary has an extremely high ranking in the state but teaches to the test. Ivy doesn’t rank as high but the parents, teachers and kids seem to be happier there. I haven’t heard much about Turner Middle School but everyone just wants their kids to survive the onset of puberty. Berthoud High is supposed to be geared toward the sciences. Wrestling, football and baseball are popular but rankings fluctuate a lot. The community gathers in groups for sports or at church. There is one outdoor public swimming pool in town but no golf courses or bowling. There are several lakes within a short drive, including Carter Lake. The brewpub in town but doesn’t serve food so I’m not sure how long it will last. Notable restaurants come and go but there is always a decent place to get food. I hope the A&W with old fashion drive-in slots stays forever. If you want a nice place to live your own life and raise a family in a small community, Berthoud is a lovely town. If your single and want to mingle, you might want to try Boulder or Denver instead.
