Happenings at the Hall

It's not certain when the carpet on the stairs to the second floor of Niwot Hall was last addressed, but best guesses put it somewhere in the 1980s. Long overdue and much appreciated new carpeting was installed last week and it's another of those "small things can be a massive improvement" items checked off the to-do list. Take a look next time you're at the Hall.
