The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
In 1983, a group of Boulderites led by Sophia Stoller and Mary Axe, set out to establish a sister-city relationship with a community in the then Soviet Union, hoping that it would increase international understanding and peace. This went against the political grain of the time, but the group persisted in their endeavor. A match was eventually made with Dushanbe, Tajikistan, with the two cities sharing a number of commonalities: both are university towns, centers for scientific study, surrounded by mountains and at the same latitude.

Boulder Farmers Market
Boulder County Farmers Markets is the brainchild of a group of local farmers, who came together with their vision of a local market in the mid-1980s. What started with a few tables of produce loaded off the backs of pickup trucks has evolved into robust destination markets in Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, Denver and Seeds Cafe located inside the Boulder Public Library. The handful of inspired farmers has expanded to include more than 150 local vendors, hosting the longest market season in the State of Colorado.
