Cold weather is just around the corner, and even if it is still nothing but sunlight and cool days in your neighborhood, preparing for winter now can save you money and keep you warmer when the cold air arrives. Here are some simple steps you can take now to stay warm this winter.

1. Spruce Up the Fireplace

Winter time is best time to build a fire in the fireplace and enjoy the warmth it brings to the house. But before you bundle up in front your fireplace, give it some love.

Holiday Parties Enforcement Begins Friday

It was a busy Thanksgiving holiday on Colorado roads, as residents and tourists traveled to celebrations with friends and family. To increase safety for all drivers, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and statewide law enforcement agencies increased impaired driving enforcement as part of The Heat Is On campaign. From November 17 through November 27, officers arrested 613 drivers, an increase from the 522 drivers arrested during the same period last year. 

An earthquake measuring 3.6 on the Richter Scale struck the Salida area in Fremont county Thursday afternoon according to the United States Geological Survey.

If you are like me, which I hope you aren’t, you’re having a little trouble getting your pants buttoned in the morning after an amazing Thanksgiving feast.  I’m also thinking ahead to the Christmas Parties and of course Christmas Day and how all that yummy food is going to affect my physique.  In contrast, as my belly gets bigger, my finances will become smaller with the purchasing of presents and various other charitable giving. 

The Weisbrod Hospital Auxiliary met November 14 to make more plans for the Fall Holiday Bazaar and Christmas plans. Linda Trosper organizer of the Annual Bazaar reported that we have over thirty tables of vendors. Madonna Pollreis, Barb Diel and Loretta Seibel volunteered to bring gifts for the Drawing.

Madonna, Barb, and Doris volunteered to go to play Bunco and visit with the residents
