Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for February 28, 2025. We've got a packed day of events and news for you, so let's dive right in.
First up, music lovers are in for a treat tonight as the legendary a cappella group Sweet Honey in the Rock takes the stage at Macky Auditorium. The performance starts at 7:30 PM, and tickets are still available ranging from $22 to $99. This socially conscious ensemble has been creating powerful music for over five decades, addressing issues from civil rights to environmental concerns.
Speaking of the environment, local eco-fashion pioneer Jim Morris continues to make waves with his retro nature T-shirts. What started as a small University of Colorado Boulder student project has blossomed into a global phenomenon. Morris's organic shirts, featuring artwork from various artists, have gone viral on social media, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide.
In community news, the Boulder County Coroner's office has officially identified the body found in Boulder Canyon last Saturday as 18-year-old CU student Megan Trussell, who had been reported missing on February 12. The University is offering counseling services and support for grieving students through the Office of Victim Assistance.
For those looking to get involved in citizen science, the Big Bee Bonanza is seeking virtual volunteers today. This project aims to help researchers better understand bee populations and their impact on our ecosystem.
Weather-wise, we've got a beautiful day ahead. Why not take Jim Morris's advice and go for a walk or bike ride to enjoy the late afternoon golden light on the Flatirons? You might even make some new friends along the way.
Music fans have plenty of options tonight beyond Sweet Honey in the Rock. The Fox Theatre is hosting The Brothers Comatose, while Cervantes' Other Side features The Bright Light Social Hour. For electronic music enthusiasts, Crankdat is performing at Mission Ballroom.
Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget to check out the Downtown Boulder Community Initiatives' events. They've got a full slate of cultural experiences and community programs planned throughout the year.
Lastly, some concerning news from the federal level: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Boulder station has been hit with job cuts as part of broader federal firings. We'll be keeping an eye on how this might impact our local weather forecasting and climate research.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
