From old-fashioned mining games and parades to art shows and holiday celebrations, Victor hosts several special events. The town is an event in itself - when we are not hosting an event, we are basking in the sunshine, enjoying the laid back life of our rural community. Experience our quiet, Colorado mountain town with clean air and blue skies. Pan for gold at the museum or enjoy a chocolate milk shake at the old-fashioned soda fountain. Hike into the 1890's gold mining country or browse through the Victor Trading Company for handmade brooms and cookie cutters or through one of our antique shops. Or just relax on a street side bench and take in the scenes of yesteryear. E vents 2012

June Touch of Victor Touch of Victor at Motherlode Liquors June 13th, 2012 5pm-8pm Victor will soon have a new and expanded liquor store. Doug Schroer, owner of the current Fortune Club Liquors will be closing his doors and relocating one block west to 415 Victor Avenue. The new location will also bring a new name. The historic Motherlode building will now house the new Motherlode Liquors. The new location will be on the sunny side of the street and will provide better parking, additional square footage of retail area as well as the much anticipated 260-square-foot “beer cave”. Fortune Club liquors had operated for several years at 302 Victor Avenue. After Mr. Schroer purchased the business in January of 2011 he increased the available inventory and kept regular business hours. This translated to outgrowing the current location. When a building that was better suited for his operation became available, he decided to relocate. He feels that the change of location and name will only benefit the customer base in the area. The expanded location will continue to stock those hard to find items as well as special requests for his customers. The additional space will allow for increased selection and quantity which translates to lower prices. The Loyalty program that was in place at the Fortune Club will be continued at the new location. For each dollar spent in the store the customer receives one point. Points can then be redeemed for cash towards future purchases. Motherlode Liquors along with the City of Victor will once again sponsor the Victor Downhill Gravity Race which will be run on Saturday July 21. This event is just one part of the city's annual three day Gold Rush Days. So, start building a kinetic vehicle to enter for cash prizes, trophies and bragging rights. Three criteria will be judged on; Creativity, Showmanship and of course Speed. Full rules and registration information can be found at: http://victorcolorado.com/goldrushdays.htm or contact Doug at the store or call (719) 689-5701.
