A passion to meet new people, travel and of course taste all the
foods of the world has been with me for as long as I can remember.
So
when I heard about Up with People way back in college, I truly
considered joining them and traveling, but alas I cannot carry a tune
and after attending their concert I did not believe I could be a part of
such a musical group. I have later learned that is not true, but we
will come back to that later.
Upon learning that the group was
coming to Yuma, I immediately called and signed up to host a student.
And when they called and asked if I could host an intern for three
weeks, I jumped at the chance. This is the third time that we have
hosted and each time just gets better and better.

"Up with People is down with Northern Colorado"
by Dan England, Greeley Tribune Greeley, Colorado, Feb. 6th 2009
"Those who were around in the 1970s and ’80s and can remember them to
some degree might giggle a bit when they learn that Up With People will
be performing in Greeley.
THAT Up With People? Those goofy,
caffeinated, perpetually perky kids who waved their arms around and
sang a theme song that sounded suspiciously like it belonged on a
sitcom? The ones who performed at the Super Bowl halftime show before
halftime shows featured real, big-name stars? The ones parodied by “The
Simpsons” when the group “Hooray For Everyone” performed in the
cartoon? Really?"
