The Colorado Springs Showcase of Retirement Communities is two-day retirement community tour that included the Pikes Peak region’s premier senior living options.  The communities featured in the 2010 Showcase include Cheyenne Place, The Inn at Garden Plaza, MacKenzie Place, The Palisades at Broadmoor Park, Liberty Heights, Summit Glen, Viewpointe, and Village at Skyline.

Participating communities provided 30-minute tours in a fun, casual open house setting. Each one  featured food, entertainment, giveaways, music and tours. Current residents were available to talk to guests about what makes their campus special. Information on specific services, amenities and pricing were available at each community.
