SWETSVILLE ZOO BACKLOT!

Can you remember back in 2008 when I visited the Swetsville Zoo? The early reports were such as: Why We Have A Homeowners Association, More of Bills Backyard, and A Few More… .I’ve been there several times since, but today was special. Today we got to go onto the back of the farm– what’s left of it anyway, to view some items up for auction. No, the ‘Zoo Animals’ are not being sold, but it seems Bill Swets collected farm implements and other things are taking up valuable space. Yes, developers are looking to buy acreage east of I25 because people can’t get enough of Northern Colorado. Too bad it’s not in Fort Collins.

Antique Tractors in this lot

Well, this is the week of the great feast of the RAGBRAI and if I was in Iowa I would have seen plenty of antique tractors that the local farmers would drag out to show. Yep, looked just like the above. Oh, there’s more of theĀ  Swets’ Junk to be seen. Stay tuned.
