Jeffco Crew #063 - Vinyl Records, Pollinators & Bike Maps

We are 28.9% done with 2026, in case you're counting.

I hope that number makes you feel positive, not negative, but if the latter you still have LOTS of time to set this year on the right path.

One of my very favorite events of the year is this weekend, but that's because I'm just a huge fan of plants, especially succulents.

Let's get into it...

🏔️ Crew Bits

Denver sports continue to dominate. Nuggets kick off at 1:30pm on Saturday and the Avs drop the puck at a so-far-undetermined time.

Tickets for Sounds Exciting! concerts this summer at Heritage Park in Lakewood just went on sale.

Second Saturdays in Olde Town Arvada kick off again in May.

Colorado Pint Day is coming up on 4/29, I'm going for my 3rd collector pint glass this year (out of 11).
