I hope your fences are still standing upright and your electricity is back on as we head into the holiday next week.

What a week, eh? 

For those of you with kids, I hope you're managing these school cancellations well. Our kiddo was already off today and tomorrow, so yesterday was just icing on his already-long holiday break cake. His school is unique though - for most the nightly *closed-school-roulette* is probably a real wrench in the run up to winter break.

Looking forward, this upcoming stretch is *jam packed* with events across Jeffco.

If you're looking to get out of the house before things calm down next Wednesday/Thursday, you've got *loooottts* of options.

Let's get into it.
