Clerks in six Colorado counties will not be distributing ballots for the coordinated election in November according to Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams.

All communities within Cheyenne, Delores, Grand, Hinsdale, Mineral and Washington have cancelled their elections, so county clerks will not have any ballots to mail. The remaining 58 counties will be sending ballots to overseas and military voters by Saturday, and mailing ballots to all other voters starting October 16.

The upcoming High School volleyball game October 13 between Kit Carson Lady Wildcats and Eads Lady Eagles promises to be an exciting Pack the Gym night.

The Kit Carson Booster Club will be hosting the annual PINK OUT and Silent Auction to benefit the Tragedy Fund that benefits families in need in our community and surrounding areas. The catch phrase for the evening is “The Purples & Golds united in PINK.”  Please come and support the girls and go home with some great items!  Everyone wins when we help one another.

Trinidad Lake 

The current water temperature is around 74 degrees. The fishing from south shore has been slow as of recently. Fish are being caught throughout the lake with worms and PowerBait. The fishing near Reilly canyon has been slow due to the low water levels, but some anglers are still catching small perch and catfish. Boat anglers are catching mostly trout and walleye. Worm harnesses and trolling have worked in depths around 20 to 30 feet.
