"Education Funding Debate, Music Performances, and Arctic Science Summit in Boulder"
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for March 20, 2025.
Today, Boulder is buzzing with activity as teachers from across Colorado gather at the State Capitol in Denver to protest proposed education budget cuts. This rally has prompted several school closures in the area, including Boulder Valley School District, which announced its closure after reporting 600 staff absences. While this may cause some inconvenience for families, it highlights the ongoing debate about education funding in our state.
Despite the school closures, there's still plenty happening in Boulder today. Music lovers can head to the Bootstrap Brewing Company in Longmont to catch Tony Crank's free performance at 6 p.m. For those interested in classical music, the Longmont Symphony Orchestra will be playing at the Longmont Museum at 7 p.m.
If you're looking for something a bit more energetic, the Fox Theatre is hosting Dennett with PapaJay and BALEK at 8 p.m. It's sure to be a lively show that'll get you moving.
For those interested in science and research, the Arctic Science Summit Week is kicking off today and will run through March 28. This international event brings together researchers and policymakers to discuss the latest developments in Arctic science.
Nature enthusiasts should note that the Nederland Sort Yard remains closed due to heavy snow from earlier in the season. However, the Boulder Farmers Market is set to reopen soon, with Saturday markets starting April 5 and Wednesday markets beginning May 7.
Looking ahead to the weekend, don't forget about the Tulip Fairy & Elf Festival coming up on April 27. It's a delightful event where little ones can dress up as fairies and elves to celebrate the awakening of the tulips in downtown Boulder.
For those dealing with food insecurity, remember that the Buff Pantry at CU Boulder is open today from noon to 2:30 p.m. and 3 to 5 p.m. This resource provides fresh, shelf-stable, and frozen foods to students in need.
Lastly, if you're in the mood for some trivia and new music, the Colorado Sound Music Meeting is happening tonight at Roots Music Project. It's a great opportunity to hear and vote on new music while connecting with fellow music enthusiasts.
This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
