Our Centennial Celebration
Fort Collins Moose Lodge # 275 Celebrated it's 100 Year Anniversary Saturday June 26th at it's present location at 4820 S. College Ave.
The Moose Lodge has been an active part of the Fort Collins community for 100 years now. Moose Lodge #275 charter was instituted on June 2nd,1910. In 1910 the Lodge home was called Moose Hall and was located at 109 E. Mountain Ave., some of it's other homes were in the C.R.Welch Building at 101 N. College Ave., than in 1919 back to 109 E. Mountain Ave in the First National Bank building. Ironically they purchased the old Elks lodge in 1947, located at 200 Linden Street and that was home until 1961 when they purchased the old roller rink at 1424 E. Mulberry ( now the home of the ELKS Lodge ) where they stayed until purchasing the present location at 4820 S. College Ave in 2009.
The celebration started out with an opening ceremony with special guest speakers: Former Mayor and author Ray Martinez and State Rep. Randy Fischer who presented the lodge with a special tribute from the State of Colorado House of Representatives recognizing the lodge for 100 years of outstanding service to their community and the State of Colorado.
Also part of the ceremony, Regional manager Mr. Frank Garen and Colorado Moose Asc. President Steelman Polhamus, Governor of the Lodge Fred Miller and Administrator Chuck Irwin. State Rep. Randy Fischer and Mr. Martinez both filled out membership applications to become Moose Members.
Many members of the other Colorado Moose Lodges were present to help celebrate this momentous occasion and almost everyone stayed to enjoy the dinner and dance.

By the time this reaches you the centennial celebration might be over, if not come out and enjoy. Not too many organizations get a chance to celebrate 100 years in one city. If you miss this you can come on July 3rd for burgers and hot dogs, bring a dish to pass. It starts at 1:00 PM and last for 2 hours. Bar will be open.
We finally got our permit for the kitchen and work will begin on June 21st. We are anxious to get this done so we can start having meals again. The crock pot meals have worked well for us , but it will be nice to prepare and serve a meal in are own kitchen.
Some of you may be concerned about the road construction taking place near us. During the day there may be some delays, but in the evening traffic is flowing pretty well through the construction so don’t let the construction keep you away.
We also have the air conditioner operational this year which should help this summer. As time passes and we get more familiar with the conditioner we will be able to control it better. All the controls are downstairs which normally is cooler so we have to allow for that. We may find that the thermostat should be moved upstairs, but time will tell. We are asking that the double entrance doors be kept shut so we may keep the cool air in the social quarters. Don't forget we have Buddy Miller on July 17Th, so come out and dance. If you would like to see other bands just let us know.
