Jeffco Crew #053 - Goldens, Girl Scout Cookies & Winterfest

Good morning!

I'm at the airport, headed to the East Coast where winter is actually happening.

The new(ish) United terminal is pretty darn great, gotta say.

My son said it was too long a walk to get to this nice part of the terminal, which is a fair critique.

Let's get into it!

👌 Crew Bits

A lot of stuff I come across isn't necessarily an event. I also get all kinds of tips and insights from ya'll which could find their way here.

Coda Brewing is opening 7 days a week starting in March.

Abejas is hosting a pretty yummy-sounding Agave Dinner in March, a collab with Wild Common Tequila.

Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons dropped most of their August lineup, including Ani Difranco, a name I haven't heard in a quite a while.

And finally, the 78th Annual Leadville Ski Joring returns on March 7th! This is one of my absolute favorite "things that should exist somewhere". Still never been. Hoping to make it this year.
