Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Wednesday, December seventeenth.

Boulder is waking up under a Red Flag warning today, with strong, gusty winds expected along the Front Range and the potential for Xcel Energy public safety power shutoffs affecting parts of the city and CU Boulder between late morning and early evening. That means you may see outages starting late morning, so charge your devices now, keep fridge doors closed if the power does go out, and allow extra time on the roads as blowing debris and downed branches could slow things down. Campus facilities and businesses are preparing to stay flexible, so check ahead before you head out.

Those winds are not stopping the Buffs. CU men’s basketball is still scheduled to tip off tonight at seven at the CU Events Center, hosting Portland State. Fans are being urged to use caution traveling to the game and to watch for any last minute updates, since organizers have a backup plan to bump the game to tomorrow morning if conditions force a change. If you are going, plan for delays and give yourself some extra time to get parked, through the doors, and into your seats.

If live music is more your style, downtown is getting festive tonight as Boulder based Face Vocal Band brings its Rock the Halls holiday show to the Boulder Theater at seven thirty. Expect big a cappella harmonies and reimagined holiday classics, and expect a crowd, because this one is close to sold out. It is a high energy way to lean into the season without leaving town.

For something a little more hands on and low key, the Junkyard Social Club is hosting a Community Craft Night this evening from six to eight thirty. It is a creative, come as you are space that welcomes families, makers, and anyone who just wants to tinker, glue, and chat with neighbors.

If your idea of unwinding is more about steam and snowmelt, Ember and Ice on Arapahoe is holding its Sisters Sauna Night at seven, a women centered sauna and cold plunge evening with mountain views and a strong community vibe. Reservations are recommended.

And for those willing to venture a bit beyond city limits, Cool Boulder is spotlighting midday farm gleaning over in Lafayette, where volunteers can help harvest extra produce for local food programs, a reminder that local agriculture and food security keep our region resilient through winter.

Windy, busy, and full of choices, that is Boulder today. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
