The Colorado Parks and Wildlife team is preparing Lake Pueblo State Park for the unofficial start of summer on Memorial Day weekend and wants visitors to know what they can expect when they arrive.
Renovation work at the Rock Canyon Swim Beach facilities has been delayed due to a wet, stormy spring. As a result, a $500,000 project is behind schedule and the beach will not be ready by the traditional opening date of Memorial Day Weekend.
Why did the lesser prairie chicken cross the state line?
Well, if Colorado Parks and Wildlife biologists are successful, the answer will be to rebuild populations of the rare and vulnerable bird that has mostly disappeared from the sagebrush and grasslands of the southeast corner of the state.
John Morrell and Co., a Cincinnati, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 210,606 pounds of ready-to-eat hot dog products that may contain metal according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The beef franks items were produced on January 26, 2017. The following products are subject to recall:
One of our most popular features over the past 16 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County.

“Snatched” has a script credited to Katie Dippold, but she clearly didn’t write much of her characters’ dialogue. This is one of those comedies where the actors are told to ad lib ad nauseam. There are a few cases where this strategy works, when the actors have good chemistry and the director doesn’t settle for just any old take. There are many more cases where this strategy doesn’t work because the actors don’t know what to do and it throws off the pacing of the movie.
