From local and national football star to keeping our community safe ... meet an Aurora police officer whose success at Overland High School and the University of Wyoming have helped create a new career that allows him to give back to his hometown. Also on this week's show, we talk to the Community College of Aurora's Dr. Mordecai Brownlee about his lasting legacy at the school and well beyond as he gets ready for a new chapter; we show you how you can now borrow tools for all kinds of projects for free at the Aurora Public Library; and just what does it take to carve thousands and thousands of blocks of ice into an amazing, life-sized holiday display? We'll take you behind the scenes of the Gaylord Rockies' latest ice! exhibit. Those stories and much more this week on Aurora Now.
