Lesley Lundeen walks up the hill with her daughter Ellie, 3, and Stacy Parkinson to see the Flagstaff star on Tuesday in Boulder. Craig Reynolds maintains the star.Christmas lasts just one day, but in Boulder the defining symbol of the season shines far and wide for the better part of two months. For the man who makes it happen, it’s a labor of love.
Craig Reynolds makes his home now in Frederick, but from there he can still see the Flagstaff star, which he maintains on a volunteer basis through every Christmas season.
“It’s become a part of me,” Reynolds said.
He’s the man who ensures the star is ready to be lit each year on Veterans Day, and monitors it for any needed repairs or maintenance through the first weekend of January, after which it’s turned off until the next holiday season.
He has been doing it every year since 1989.
