Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, February 20, 2025. Today, we're focusing on some important community events and updates that you won't want to miss.
First off, if you're concerned about wildfire mitigation, tonight is your chance to get informed. The Boulder County Commissioners are hosting a town hall meeting at the Lyons Town Hall from 5:30 to 7 p.m. to discuss wildfire mitigation efforts in the county. Wildfire Mitigation Program Manager Jim Webster will be there to talk about the 2024 Community Wildfire Protection Plan and share 10 things you can do to mitigate your home against wildfires. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and get involved in protecting our community.
Looking ahead to next week, the county's public works department will be hosting a public meeting on February 25 to provide an update on a feasibility study for a proposed compost facility. This meeting will be held at the Boulder County Recycling Center from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will include county commissioners, consultants, and officials from Eco-Cycle. The feasibility study is expected to wrap up in the second quarter of this year, and this meeting is a chance to learn more about the project and its potential impact on our community.
In other news, the Lafayette City Council has been busy. On February 18, they decided that the Tebo property is eligible to be annexed into city limits, paving the way for 465 residential units and 160,000 square feet of retail space, including a big box store. They also adopted the Downtown Development Plan, which aims to recruit, support, and retain small businesses in Old Town, preserve its unique character, and enhance public gathering spaces.
If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, there are plenty of options. The 2025 Ice Climbing World Cup and Winterfest is happening at the Longmont Climbing Collective on February 22 and 23. This is a free event that's sure to be thrilling, with local breweries and food trucks on hand to add to the fun. Or, if you're more interested in art, the Museum of Boulder is opening a new photography exhibition called "Eye to Eye: Portraits of Pride, Strength, Beauty" on February 21. This exhibition celebrates women elders in the LGBTQ community and is definitely worth checking out.
For music lovers, there are plenty of concerts happening around town. Tonight, you can catch The 89s at Bricks on Main in Longmont, Tony Crank Classical Guitar at Bootstrap Brewing Company, or DENTEC at Club 156 in Boulder. And on February 22, Mount Eerie is coming to The Fox Theatre, with Ragana opening.
Finally, if you're looking for something a little different, the Alpaca Extravaganza is happening at the Boulder County Fairgrounds on February 23. This is a free event where you can meet and greet with alpacas, learn about these amazing animals, and even buy some alpaca goods.
