5 Years Ago
This is our second COVID Easter. A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined that these strange circumstances–institutions closed, restaurants relying on take-out orders, everyone wearing masks, no travel–would last so long.
I’m feeling optimistic that by next year we’ll be back to normal, and I’ll be writing about the sunrise Easter service at Red Rocks, wait-listed Easter buffets at the restaurants, the Bunny Express at the Railroad Museum, and the community Easter Egg Hunt in Parfet Park.

The optimism was justified: by Easter of 2022, approximately 83% of the population in Jefferson County had received COVID vaccinations. The Kiwanis Club hosted the Easter Egg Hunt in Parfet Park, restaurants were offering dine-in brunches, the bars had live music, and Miners Alley was back to live performances.
