There are both virtual and in-person options, all designed for you to safely have fun and get to know fellow Buffs.
As you make your plans for St. Patrick’s Day and the upcoming weekend, review these tips and remember Boulder County Public Health guidelines requireÌýpersonal gatherings are limited to no more than 10 people from two different households.
