For the last several years, Boulder Weekly has celebrated its anniversary by shining a light on the unsung heroes in our community. Over the years we’ve highlighted dozens of people working to make Boulder County a better place, and given the year we just endured, we thought we’d focus our spotlight on some of the people on the front lines during the pandemic. There are stories of how people in health care, education, senior care, retail and more have dealt with added complications of health and safety guidelines. This is our way of saying thanks to the Boulder County community that supports us and makes this tiny section of the world an enjoyable place to live, work and play.
