• Wild Horse Roundup-Curtis Schrimp: Ladies club met Thursday. Not quite as big a crowd as usual, but the food was good and so was the visiting.

“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.

It’s not easily seen as you whiz by in a vehicle along Interstate 76 in Northeast Colorado. A fire ravaged the area in early March, killing cattle, decimating the rangeland, burning homes, structures, and farm equipment. But, rain in the area, as well as the proactive actions of local ranchers, have led to the slow beginning of recovery. Over 32,000 acres were impacted (larger than the size of Disney World, nearly double the size of Manhattan).

Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site will host a special evening walking tour May 26 in observance of the Memorial Day weekend. The tour begins at 7:00 p.m.

Park staff will explore the night march of Colonel John Chivington and 675 troops of 1^st and 3^rd Regiments, Colorado (US) Cavalry, as they marched from Fort Lyon toward “Black Kettle’s Camp” along Big Sandy Creek.

Program length is two hours, with a round trip walk of approximately one mile. Participants should bring flashlights.
