We all know how much of a pain it can be to read the tiny print on our prescription pill bottles, but if you're blind, you can't see any of it. Thankfully, there's a new state law that makes medication labels easier and safer for those who struggle to see as well as for seniors and those who speak another language. Meet a member of the Aurora chapter of the National Federation of the Blind of Colorado who helped make it possible. Also on this week's show, Mayor Coffman pays tribute to Aurora's fallen at a new exhibit at our Aurora History Museum; the first-ever "She Plays Aurora" sports trial day helps get girls into the game; and the newly-crowned Miss Front Range is from Aurora. Meet her and hear her play a tango on the piano. All that and more this week on Aurora Now.
