Ignite Boulder is similar to TED talks with a twist. It brings together some great local idea generators who get to make a presention on a subject of their choice. Speakers have exactly 5 minutes to teach something, enlighten us, or simply inspire — backed by 20 slides auto-advancing every 15 seconds. Quick, fun, and smart: they sell out the largest venues in Boulder. (You can see previous talks here.) This event sells out, so grab some tickets here. [May 15, 2013 . 6:00 to 9:00pm]
Spring is the beginning of so many new things–garden planting, repairing buildings, bringing baby animals into the world– and that was true for ranch families in the Victorian days also. Join costumed volunteers at Walker Ranch homestead for a peek into pioneer living in springtime. Smell what’s cooking in the log house, chat with the blacksmith, and do hands-on old-fashioned activities. Great event for the whole family! Free. More details here.
