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. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.

A Saguache County man faces charges after threatening law enforcement with a firearm, and was shot just after 9:00 a.m., February 12.

Saguache County Sheriff’s Office deputies, with assistance from a Colorado State Patrol trooper, were called to a home outside of the town of Moffat on a call involving a man with a gun on Sunday morning.

At the home, the SCSO deputies and the CSP trooper identified themselves as law enforcement when contacting the man, who was inside the home.
