Jeffco Crew #049 - Cheat Day, Hot Wax & Pine Beetles
Hellooooooooo everyone!
Happy New Year, I hope you had a wonderful holiday, got a break from whatever keeps you busy.
I took two weeks off from this newsletter, not gonna lie kinda missed you guys. Really excited for what's in store for this year!
Anyone get any crazy gifts over the holidays? How was your power-shutdown experience? Send me thoughts!
Let's get into it!
👌 Crew Bits
Trying out a new notes section here, as a lot of stuff I come across isn't necessarily an event. I also get all kinds of tips and insights from ya'll which could find their way here.
Fun find, if you're driving down South Golden Road you may notice a set of sculptures in Triangle Park - check out how and why they were made by artist Robert Tully.
The City of Wheat Ridge wrapped up the Wadsworth Blvd project, it's largest infrastructure project ever. What do we think, is traffic better?
Also in Wheat Ridge, free Christmas trees recycling until February 1st at Anderson and Panorama Parks.
Lakewood's tree recycling ends on Sunday.
Have you considered running for Governor of Colorado? This guy is running while in prison for second-degree murder. What's your excuse?
Did you like that section? Let me know!
