The second annual Let’s Wine About Winter event, went off without a hitch last Saturday, Feb. 20. But if you attended last year’s event, you noticed one very stark difference—the weather. A blizzard accompanied last year’s inaugural event, which still has people talking about to this day. Many were hoping another blizzard would roll in just in time, but Mother Nature had other plans.

The last few weeks were not what the Niwot High School boys basketball team had hoped they would be. Entering the final stretch of the season it was a long shot for the Cougars to make the playoffs, but if they had been able to take care of business and let the chips fall as they would, they would have had a slim shot at seeing the post season.

Niwot Head Coach Preston Hardy said after the Mountain View game that luck just wasn’t on their side this week. “Basketball is a funky game, couple shots here or there a...

The 2016 edition of Niwot’s “Let’s Wine About Winter” is set from 1 to 5 p.m. on February 20, and a limited number of tickets are still available. It began last year when the idea was brought back to Colorado from a similar event in Chicago. “It seemed like such a great idea,” one of the many organizers Anne Postle said. “It’s an event on a usually quiet day in February that brings people to town and allows them to visit different businesses in town.” There are 26 businesses lined up this yea...
If you’ve been near Whistle Stop Park lately, then you’ve seen all the progress being made at the future Niwot Children’s Park across the street.
