Jeffco Crew #070 - Art Fests, Camping & The World Cup
If you know me you know I spent half my life playing soccer, and every four years the World Cup is like a religious event for me.
Watching 100+ games in under six weeks is hard work, people. Hard work.
If you're a big fan lemme know, maybe we'll do an informal watch meetup. ⚽️
Lovely weather and LOTS to do this week/end.
Let's get into it.
PS. This was ready to send yesterday until my mail server fell apart on me, so again we roll a little late! C'est la vie!
⛰️ Crew Bits
The Colorado Renaissance Festival kicks off this weekend and lasts for a while, only about an hour away!
Artsweek kicks off in Golden this weekend and culminates with a festival next week. Really love this event!
Speaking of art, Highlands Art Festival is this weekend. Summer art fests ftw!
Red Bull Soapbox Race visits Denver this Saturday, expected to draw a big crowd and one of the only stops for this event nationwide.
