Jeffco Crew #064 - Pint Day, Cowboy Dressage & Pinewood

One of my very favorite events of the year is this weekend, not last weekend as noted in last week's email (apologies!). The big succulent and plant show kicks off Friday.

Sometimes when I make date/time mistakes I really wish I could make edits to emails already sent. You'd think in 2026...

Anyway.

Let's get into it...

🏔️ Crew Bits

Golden Bike Cruise returns this summer every last Tuesday from May - September.

LUKI Brewery in Arvada announced that they will close down at the end of their lease in roughly November.

Blucifer made a major cameo on Hulu’s hit post-apocalyptic series Paradise?

For the kiddos, a late summer Harry Potter themed drone show!
