It’s not entirely straightforward to see prices, but it appears that if you drill down from the link below, it’s $15 beforehand and $20 at the door. However this page also indicates that you can contact the roller derby to try to get a press pass. https://focorollerderby.org/schedule/tickets/
Sun 5/19 8:00 AM 38th Annual Wheels for Meals Car Show
Location is not clearly spelled out, but appears to be the Ed Carroll car dealerships (Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche), 3003 S College Ave, Fort Collins
Show appears to be free to attend (this information comes from one of the sub-pages)

Fri 5/24 to Mon 5/27 4th Annual Fields of Honor American Flag Display
Spring Canyon Park, 2626 West Horsetooth Rd, Fort Collins
This will be a display of 500 American flags for Memorial Day. I didn’t find indication of any specific ceremony times. The web page also seems to indicate that there will be a Civil War re-enactors camp (C Company, 6th US Infantry Regiment).
Thu 5/30, Thunderbirds flyover at the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony
Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs
The Thunderbirds will fly over Falcon Stadium, but I presume it would be better for most club members to try to watch from off Academy grounds.
