Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, February 13, 2025.

Today and tomorrow, The New Local Annex on Pearl Street is hosting a special Valentine's Day event featuring floral arrangements, goodies from Moksha Chocolate, and jewelry from Blackbird and the Snow. It's a great opportunity to find something unique for your loved ones.

If you're looking for something for the kids, the Just Between Friends Kids Pop-up Sale is happening at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. This four-day sale offers gently used, locally sourced items at significantly discounted prices, perfect for families looking to save on clothing and shoes for their little ones.

For those who love cycling, don't forget that Winter Bike to Work Day is tomorrow, February 14. Various breakfast stations across Boulder County will be serving up free breakfast and camaraderie to kick off your day. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just starting out, it's a great way to brave the elements and enjoy some community spirit.

In other news, downtown Boulder restaurants are facing challenges despite an increase in visitor numbers and a decrease in crime. According to a recent study, two-thirds of downtown restaurants reported stagnant or decreased income compared to the previous year. Restaurant owners are considering unifying to bring their concerns to the city and potentially running for Boulder's city council to address issues such as rising costs and staffing challenges.

On a lighter note, the Dairy Arts Center is hosting a screening of "Tromeo & Juliet," a quirky retelling of Shakespeare's classic from Troma Entertainment. The event includes a virtual Q&A with Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman on Saturday, February 15.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the Galentine's Snowshoe Adventure is happening on Saturday, February 15, at Brainard Lake Road in Ward. This four-mile hike into the Indian Peaks backcountry is led by an experienced trek leader from Colorado Wilderness Rides and Guides. It's a unique way to celebrate Galentine's Day with friends.

Finally, the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival is coming to the Boulder Theater from February 17 to 19. This three-day cinematic event features over 20 adventure films that will take you to the world's most breathtaking landscapes.

This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
