Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, November 13, 2025.

Let’s start with some breaking local news and a major community win—county officials have announced support for a plan to preserve Boulder’s much-beloved Iris Ball Fields. After months of organizing and intense public response, commissioners have moved toward approving The Academy’s $26 million proposal that would keep the ball diamonds in place while adding senior housing on county land. This would transfer the fields to city ownership for continued use by North Boulder Little League, so the legacy of generations of players will live on. The county will vote on the final proposal next week, but spirits are running high across North Boulder, especially among neighbors who rallied to protect this treasured green space. If you care about community and open land, this is one to watch closely.

Turning to community events: If you’re looking to learn some new moves or just want to dance the night away, the Avalon Ballroom is hosting a Latin and Salsa night tonight from 7:30 to 11. No experience necessary—just bring your energy and let the music carry you. For something a little different, the Junkyard Social Club is offering a lively social dance class at 6:45, followed by open dancing at 7:15. It’s one of Boulder’s quirkiest spots for creativity and connection, welcoming dancers of all levels.

If you prefer folk traditions or want a taste of the world, the Boulder Balkan Bash is coming up at the Avalon soon, promising live music from six local bands plus food, dancing, and a sense of community. On the arts side, tonight at the Dairy Arts Center you can catch Frequent Flyers Aerial Dance’s high-flying Ratcracker, a witty spin on the Nutcracker that blends aerial artistry with storytelling.

If you’re more in the mood for thought-provoking conversation, Chautauqua is offering Difficult Dialogues: Israel, Palestine, Boulder tonight—a chance to hear diverse voices discuss conflict, hope, and bridges we can build locally.

For those interested in wellness, the CU Boulder Health & Wellness Summit is happening at the UMC Ballroom, and if you’re passionate about sustainability, America Recycles Day brings community projects on campus this morning.

A heads-up on practical matters: 63rd Street between Jay and Twin Lakes remains closed for culvert replacement through January. Boulder County’s minimum wage policy update will be discussed publicly next Thursday, and, for folks relying on federal benefits, November’s SNAP food assistance remains on hold due to the ongoing government shutdown, though extra county support is rolling out to local food providers.

That’s your local frequency for today—soak up some sunshine, connect with your neighbors, and make Boulder a little brighter. This has been Boulder Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
