A Funeral Mass for longtime Trinidad resident Constance Louise Weber will be held at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 2, 2020, at St. Augustine Catholic Church in Kit Carson with Reverend Jason Keas as Celebrant.

A Rosary service will be held prior to the mass at 10:00 a.m. The Rite of Committal will follow the Mass at the Kit Carson Cemetery.

Kiowa County Public Library is happy to inform you that the variance plan submitted to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment by the Kiowa County Commissioners, Kiowa County Public Health Department, and the Kiowa County Hospital District has been approved!

With this news, and the official Kiowa County Public Health Order 1 2020, we are ecstatic to say we will officially be open starting Monday, June 1.

Graduation will be conducted in the Prairie Park and will consist of graduates, superintendent, one board member and a few family members.  Social distancing will be honored, and anyone who is feeling ill will be asked not to attend.  

Anyone who would like to honor the graduates are encouraged to park along Main Street, Church Street, or Park Street June 7 before 2:30 p.m. as the seniors will be paraded on a flatbed trailer for about 15 minutes after the ceremony.  

As you know, COVID-19 has put a damper on many of our lives in multiple ways. This includes not being able to offer an in-person Summer Reading Program at the Library this year.
