Come and see the Broncos’
Superbowl Trophies!
The Broncos
are coming to Broomfield, and they’re bringing their Superbowl
trophies to show off.
This special
celebration, sought by the Broncos organization, is Wednesday,
Sept. 5, at Broomfield
County Commons
Park. Everyone
is encouraged to attend. Kids and families from both Broomfield
Youth Football programs have been invited to participate.
The fun
begins at 6:30 p.m. when a Broncos cheerleader will welcome
everyone to the evening’s activities. Other members of the
Broncos organization will be there to thank the people of
Broomfield for their support.
The Broncos
will bring the Super Bowl Trophies, along with other historical
items for fans to see. The Super Bowl trophies make for a great
photo opportunity for all who bring their cameras.
Cheerleaders, Miles the mascot, and maybe even some current or
alumni players will be on hand to sign autographs and take
pictures with the attendees. Bring your memorabilia to get
signed.
The Broncos
will bring their punt catch machine and mini-football toss for
kids and adults. The punt catch machine shoots balls into the air
so fans can feel what it’s like to catch an NFL punt. The
mini-football toss will test the throwing accuracy of fans.
Trinkets will be handed out for all participants.
The
culmination of the evening centers on Broncos Country flags. The
Broncos will bring two flags, one flag to be given to Mayor Karen
Stuart in a presentation at 7:45 p.m. The second for the people
who attend to sign. This flag will hang in INVESCO Field at Mile
High as proof that Broomfield is Broncos Country.
In early
August, Broomfield competed against other communities in Colorado
for the opportunity to have the Denver Broncos visit Broomfield to
show their appreciation for the support shown by local Bronco fans
throughout the years.
The Broncos sent out 115 invitations to various cities throughout
the state,and 25 responses were received. Broomfield was one of
nine communities selected for a visit The others are Cheyenne
Wells, Trinidad, Sterling, Estes Park, Grand Junction, Colorado
Springs, Rifle and Edgewater.
To win the
visit, Broomfield staff jumped into action. Public Works
employees decorated city trucks, already painted orange and blue,
for photographs that would go into a Power Point presentation.
The presentation’s background music was an original song written
by Frank Schoengarth, self-sufficiency and employment services
manager for the city. Singing the catchy tune were library and
HHS personnel.
This
presentation, along with a banner announcing Broomfield’s
invitation, was delivered with boxes of home made sugar cookies
decorated with sprinkles in Bronco colors.
