The 40th Bolder Boulder 10K and the Boulder Creek Festival

I have stayed at home as much as possible since last Thursday night - all due to the Memorial Day weekend.  The 31st Annual Boulder Creek Festival began Friday and ran through yesterday afternoon.  The 40th Annual Bolder Boulder 10K road race began yesterday at 6:15 am, starting with the wheelchair racers, then the runners, joggers, and walkers; followed by the elite runners on a smaller, closed course.  More than 50,000 people locomoted past the front of my apartment building yesterday between 6:18 and 10:45.....  At the corner of Mapleton and 28th, there was a rock band playing from 6:30 until 10:30.  The cats did not like the noise.  I had to listen to one song almost all the way through before I recognized what they were singing....  Now, that's a not-very-good band.
  At the Boulder Creek Festival, there are all sorts of things happening - vendors of arts and crafts, food sellers, rides, information booths, and I think there are 6 stages set up, besides the bandshell...  all surrounding Boulder Creek downtown.  Here are a few photos; the first three are from yesterday's race, the others from the Boulder Creek Festival:
