Jeffco Crew #061 - Easter Egg Hunts, Bonsai & Paddling
Whew, survived spring break and even got a little rain this week.
Big wins.
Now we're into patio season (as if we weren't already in it) and the race to true summer. I've finally shifted my mental frame from winter to spring and although it took a while, it feels good to be in this new mode.
Let's get into it!
🏔️ Crew Bits
First of all, lots of questions about Easter Egg Hunts, which aren't promoted well but this list is a decent start. This list is even bigger. But rest assured I've got the big local ones listed down below (in pink).
JeffcoEats is looking for some volunteer help on Saturday during their food drive in Applewood.
We have an artist and dates list for Concerts in Clement Park from Foothills Parks & Rec.
If you haven't heard about what's happening on TikTok with our National Parks accounts, it's very, very worth your time digging in. Too funny.
SLASH (Sustainable Lands and Safer Homes) season is just around the corner - check out the dates, rates and what's accepted at drop-off.
