Fort Collins celebrates ties to Peace Corps FORT COLLINS, CO (KUNC) - Thousands of people will soon descend upon Denver for the Democratic National Convention, but that's not the only event bringing people to Colorado this weekend. Hundreds of returned Peace Corps volunteers will gather in Fort Collins for an event celebrating the organization's almost 50 years of service -- and the 90th birthday of a former Colorado State University professor, credited with helping to found the Peace Corps. © Copyright 2009, KUNC
