What's Happening in Boulder County!
This spring snow makes me think about sledding. Boulder has some great options.
Check out these locations for some of the best sledding around:
Scott Carpenter Park: This is a mellow, fun slope for the kids, but adults enjoy it too!
Tantra Park [Just South of 46th and Hanover]: This sledding hill can get incredibly packed and at places it is steep.
Foothills Community Park: There are some great, low angle slopes here for kids and adults.
The BaoBao Festival’s mission is to entertain, educate and build community in Colorado through artistic performances inspired
by West African tradition and culture. Over the past ten years BaoBao Festival has brought local, national, and international performers to Colorado for a celebration of Africa’s age-old community theater experience of gathering under the baobab tree. The Festival is an exciting celebration that weaves together West African singing, storytelling, drumming and dance. March 1, 2014 is the final day of the event.
