Loveland's Valentine Re-Mailing Program (2020)

For over 70 years, The Loveland Post Office along with the Loveland Chamber of Commerce has been stamping and re-mailing Valentines across Colorado, the USA, and the world.

Each year they have a team of 50 volunteers for the re-remailing. I was informed that there is a waiting list over 100 names long wanting to be on the team.

Each re-mailed Valentine will be stamped with the 2020 cachet (seal) before heading out through the Post Office

You can purchase a special Loveland Valentine Card if you'd like that are available at the Loveland Visitors Center:
