COVID restrictions shut down donation sites during second week of drive in 2020. Author: Nelson Garcia Updated: 6:36 PM MST March 8, 2021 FORT COLLINS, Colo. — The big difference between this year and last is stores like Boomer Music Company in Fort Collins are back open during the pandemic. "We were actually shut down for the month of April in 2020," Drew Holmes, Boomer Music Company owner, said. He employs 25 people. "A bunch of staff members are gigging musicians and they dried up really quick, so this ended up being the main source of income they had," Holmes said. Boomer Music is also a donation drop-off site for the Bringing Music to Life instrument drive. 9NEWS is a sponsor of the drive which asks people to donate used musical instruments to support school programs across Colorado.
