Description
Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for February 7th. Kick off your Saturday with a burst of local energy as Boulder County celebrates Black History Month, proclaimed by the Commissioners just yesterday to honor heritage and identity throughout 2026, tying right into events that bring our community's stories alive and foster real connections. Teens aged 14 to 17, now's your chance to snag summer jobs with the Boulder County Youth Corps applications open until March 15th, building skills and giving back to the trails and parks we all love. Speaking of getting around, the Colorado DMV's major tech upgrade means smoother services soon, but keep an eye on any temporary disruptions at local clerk offices that could affect your license renewals or registrations.

Shape Boulder's future by applying to the North Foothills Bikeway Community Advisory Committee by February 20th, with spots for English and Spanish speakers to make cycling safer and more accessible for everyone from commuters to families. Elections fans, weigh in on 2026 vote center and ballot drop box spots through Boulder County Elections outreach, ensuring your voice guides where democracy happens next door. Fire safety shines bright with Eldorado Springs and TACC-Stagecoach in Lafayette earning Firewise designations for slashing wildfire risks, a win that protects homes and lets us enjoy our foothills worry-free. And climate action gets a boost from 540 thousand dollars in grants for energy efficiency, tree planting, and solar projects, directly cutting bills and greening neighborhoods.

Sports enthusiasts, cheer on local talent at the Colorado Classic track meet where Air Force field events kicked off yesterday and CSU's Kyle Bigley shattered a 20-year weight throw record at 21.71 meters right here in Boulder. Catch live music tonight with Stella Cole and the Boulder Philharmonic at Boulder Theater, or dive into theater with Brooklyn Laundry by Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company. Families, lace up for Skating With Friends at Old Town Skate in Louisville from 10 a.m. to noon, a fun spin on community vibes. CU fans, explore Desire Lines art at the Earth Sciences Library or planetarium shows at Fiske, sparking wonder under Colorado skies. NOAA scientists in Boulder are prepping for the Artemis II mission, putting our town on the space map with cutting-edge expertise.

From safer streets to stellar nights out, these updates keep Boulder thriving and connected. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
