💩 Let's Doo It, Boulder open space: The city and county of Boulder are partnering this weekend to remind people to pick up after their pets. Visitors to certain sites can get free dog swag, including a "Let's DOO It" bandana.
- Sites are Pella Crossing on Saturday and Dry Creek Trailhead, Chautauqua Trailhead, Coot Lake Trailhead and Columbia Cemetery on Sunday.
