Hope you join us for the Annual Rally at The Goat!

Come on down to show off you classic ride, or just to have a beer and enjoy the sights and sounds of the most spectacular vehicles in the northern Colorado area. Part of the day's proceeds and car registration will go toward Veteran’s Plaza. There will be a food truck, awards, door prizes, live music, and more! This event is free to the public.

Want to show off your car? Considering heading over to the Gilded Goat's website to register.

This is a Veteran Family Friendly Event that is free and open to the community – The Goal, “Have Fun” and “Thank our Local Veteran-serving Organizations” for supporting our Veterans and their Families. Freddy’s will be cooking and providing their iconic burgers for all guests of the picnic, and Scheel’s will be providing a wide variety of children’s activities, such as big inflatable games like basketball, cannonball air blaster, axe throwing, and more! There will be yard games, music, and free food and drink. While it is our hope and goal to have enough food and drink for everyone, it will be served on a first come first served basis until we run out.

For an entry fee, divers may sit at a table in the deep end of the center’s pool and play poker with playing cards. The water is a warm 86 degrees, and players will be sitting in the deep end of the center's pool. Players don’t have to be certified divers to participate. Certified diving instructors will be nearby. The idea is to bring residents to the center and raise some money to help veterans.

Proceeds go to Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado.

Every year, an elegant and powerful ceremony, organized and performed by cadets of CSU's & UNC's Air Force ROTC Detachment 90 takes place on the Plaza grounds.

Every year the Veterans Plaza "All-Veterans Gala" is an extravagant and engaging affair, with both silent and vocal auctions, fantastic music, food, dancing, and always an amazing keynote speaker.

Join us for a night of fun in your classiest suit (or military gear).
