Why Is Culver’s in Greeley Closed?
As much as possible I try to avoid fast food, but there is just something about a good cheeseburger that causes a lack of control for me. When I think of a good cheeseburger there really are only a handful of places that come to mind. Unfortunately one of the places I frequent for their burgers wont be serving anything for awhile. Culver’s Restaurant in Greeley will be closed for at least one day.

Happy Colorado Day
I know it is cliche, and people from almost everywhere say it, but I truly couldn’t be more proud to say I am from Colorado. I have yet to meet someone in my 25 years of being here that has said they hate the place, and not too many that make it here ever leave. Sure the state has faced its fair share of turmoil of late, but they way we have come together makes me even more proud to be a Coloradoa
The Race to 300 Car Show Is This Sunday
As you may know, I have done a little bowling in my day… Ok a lot of bowling. I still get to the lanes here and there, but more than worrying about how my game is (by the way it’s not very good anymore) I think it is important to get our youth involved in the sport I grew up loving. That is why I am proud to support my buddy Jeremy and the crew at Highland Park Lanes as they put on their annual Ra

You may remember a few weeks back there was a real pretty girl gracing the cover of our website. Courtney James had stopped by the radio studios to talk about the modeling contest she was in call “Hometown Hotties” from Maxim magazine. I promised when we showcased her awhile back that I would let you know when you could start voting for her to win the contest. That time is now!
A Reminder Life is Short – Love Everyone, Live Life to the Fullest Everyday
You can’t escape it, even if you don’t watch the news or read the newspaper, you are constantly reminded of the bad and the sad in the world. Many times we let it roll over as if nothing happened, but behind everything we see or hear in the news is a story, a life, and people who are hurting. This morning I awoke to find out an old friend from high school had passed in an accident. Sometimes it ta
Media Poll Picks CSU Football Team to Finish 8th in Mountain West Conference
After Jim McElwain was hired by Colorado State University to become their new head football coach at the end of last season the general consensus around Northern Colorado was that CSU would instantly become a contender in the Mountain West Conference. College Football writers don’t see that happening this year. The Rams were ranked 8th out of 10 teams in the conference in the preseason media poll.
Weld County Fair Starts Tomorrow
It used to be that the county fair was the highlight of the summer for small town folks. You have heard the stories and may even be able to tell one or two about the fair food, the midway, and the summer love. Times have changed, and the fair is a little different now a days, but one thing stills rings true… Free family fun!

We knew they were coming, we were just waiting to see how bad they would be.

Shawn Thanks YOU For Making the 1st Annual Lures 4 Laney a Huge Success
As a person who feels it is important to put everything you have into the things you do, I knew when I started Lures 4 Laney that there would be blood, sweat, and tears put into the event. The one thing that was out of my control was whether or not people would support the event. That was answered with a big ‘ol YES yesterday as over 250 people came out and helped us raise in the neighborhood of $
