Two weeks after extreme drought returned to Colorado, the impacted area has continued to expand according to the latest report from the National Drought Mitigation Center.

More than half of Colorado's counties are under a red flag warning for high fire danger Saturday.

The Colorado State Patrol and law enforcement agencies across the state will be conducting enhanced DUI patrols during the Memorial Day weekend.

Flags in Colorado and across the nation will be lowered Monday to recognize Memorial Day.

American Legion Post #125 would like to thank Dan Richards, Amy Weirich, Areta Laird, Terry Laird and Roland Sorensen for putting a flag on each of our Veterans graves at the Eads cemetery.

They may be gone, but they are not forgotten.

Please remember all Veterans on this Memorial Day weekend.
