Welcome to Wellington
The town's welcome signs call Wellington "a great place to grow." Recently, Wellington held a competition to determine Wellington's 'brand'. Wellington's new brand was determined to be "Colorado's Northern Gateway", signifying that Wellington is the last major town headed north along I-25 towards Wyoming, and the first headed south towards Fort Collins.
The town hosts an annual Fourth of July celebration which usually comprises a pancake breakfast, a parade, a subsequent car show, live music in the park, and fireworks at dusk. Some residents enjoy biking around the vast spaces north of the town; at night, avid stargazers bring their telescopes to marvel at the universe.
