Winners of the card and cachet contests are awarded cash prizes and become part of Loveland’s history.
In partnership with the Loveland Post Office, the Loveland Chamber stamps its special Sweetheart City cachet on approximately 100,000 valentine cards that arrive in Loveland each year. The cachet is hand-stamp on each valentine and re-mail them to their final destinations that include more than 100 countries around the globe and all 50 states.
