 Loveland
announces Valentine Postmark
Re-Mailing Deadlines
The Valentine
Re-Mailing Program
Loveland is
perhaps best known nationwide as
the home of the "Valentine
Re-Mailing Program". Every year,
hundreds of thousands of
Valentines are packaged inside
larger envelopes and sent to
Loveland, where volunteers
hand-stamp them with a
Valentine's verse and send them
on to the intended recipients.
Each year a contest is held by
the Chamber of Commerce and
promoted through through the
local newspaper, the Reporter
Herald, for residents to submit
their designs and verses.
A winning verse and design are
chosen from all the competition
entries and the two are combined
to form the 'Official Chamber of
Commerce Loveland Valentine' -
this year's design is a
wonderful design, old fashioned,
yet modern (more details to come
after the official card launch).
Leading up to Valentine's
Day, the city authorizes the
placement of red hearts with
sponsored personal messages on
light poles and other fixtures
of the downtown streets.
The Loveland Chamber of Commerce
and the Loveland Post Office
sponsor the Loveland Valentine
Re-mailing Program, 5400 Stone
Creek Circle, 9 a.m.
Approximately 60 volunteers
gather to stamp a special
message from the Sweetheart City
on valentine cards sent to
Loveland from all 50 states and
more than 100 countries.
During the remailing program,
the Loveland Chamber of Commerce
becomes an official US Postal
Service Sub-Station!
