When Atomic Ranch Magazine heard that Arapahoe Acres was holding the home tour, they asked if they could provide a bunch of Atomic Ranch Summer issues…for you! When you purchase one our commemorative 2010 Arapahoe Acres Guide book you will also get a copy of the Atomic Ranch summer edition. If you’re not already a subscriber, you’ll definitely want to be after seeing this copy. If you’re already a subscriber, you can give a copy to your friends and family. Because I know I never give away my copies of Atomic Ranch!

Get here early on the Tour Day (if you haven’t pre-ordered, of course) to get your copy of our Guide Book and Atomic Ranch magazine. The Guide Book is limited to the first 100 buyers.

Today’s featured advertiser is Stanbro Real Estate. You may also know this long-time mid-century modern lover and Arapahoe Acres supporter as 5280mod.com or just Shannon Stanbro. You’ve already noticed me gushing over all of our incredible and generous tour advertisers and I’m about to gush some more! There are only a few realtors in the Denver metro area who truly understand the rich history and value in our “mid-century modern” homes and Shannon is one of them!

In full disclosure, Shannon was our real estate broker when we found our Arapahoe Acres home. We really felt that Shannon wasn’t so much a realtor, but more of a matchmaker! We did have one downside to finding our Arapahoe Acres home—we didn’t get to tour mid-century modern homes with Shannon anymore!

Contact Shannon by phone at 720-279-4884 or email.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to Stacie Smith Photography. Please check out Stacie’s amazing photography at her website at http://staciesmith.com. I was thrilled to have my son photographed by Stacie this past spring.

In addition to being a 2010 Arapahoe Acres Tour sponsor, she is also the ringleader behind the 2009 and 2010 Arapahoe Acres Tours. Throughout the year, she also donates her time and professional photography services to the Arapahoe Acres neighborhood by photographing various Arapahoe Acres homes that are featured in our community newsletters. As a special bonus for this years’ tour, Stacie has made her Arapahoe Acres photography available in our Tour Guide book, which will be available for purchase at the tour. This is a special treat for people like me, as most books featuring mid-century modern homes only show exteriors. Stacie’s photographs capture the unique interior details that are rarely seen.

Arapahoe Acres Tour Advertiser Spotlight

by admin on August 19, 2010

We’re so excited about the upcoming 2010 Arapahoe Acres Home & Garden Tour. While Arapahoe Acres has held many tours in past years, last year’s tour was the first in a while. Last year’s tour was also the first year that we’ve donated the tour proceeds to our local elementary school, Charles Hay Elementary.

This year, we invited advertisers to partner with our tour. We’re very excited about the advertisers that are choosing to spend their advertising dollars with us. They are allowing us to contribute more money to Charles Hay Elementary. Each day until the August 28 tour, we will doing a featured blog post about each of our tour advertisers. You may already know some of our tour advertisers. I welcome each of you to check out out tour sponsors’ websites!
