Jeffco Crew #046 - Games, Snow & Candlelights
Hello everyone! Thank for all the birthday wishes, that was unexpected.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and that today's snowstorm didn't rock your day too much.
I said before I love rain. I also love snow.
Winter wonderland, bring it on.
Okay, so I have a few fun notes to share here before we get started...
📍 Westminster / Northside-ish
A sweet reader named Alysha sent a request to sniff around for activities a little further North in Jeffco and I'm all for it, so I'll be adding locales to the list - let me know if you have any suggestions! She gave me a few.
🕹️ Game Nights
I'm noticing an uptick in interest for games - board games, video games etc. Please email me your love for games and if there's interest I'll drop in some of the stuff I come across (a decent amount, actually).
New Whole Foods
The brand new massive Whole Foods is opening next Tuesday across from Colorado Mills. A little birdie told me everything in the smaller WF store in the same parking lot will be 50% off all day on Friday.
Okay let's get to it - loooooottttts of stuff this week/end.
