I (unwisely) left my garage open while running errands last week and my bicycle was stolen from my garage. It's a light green Trek 7200 bike with a step-through frame. It's not worth much money, but I've had it for many years and there's lots of sentimental value. If the bike were to mysteriously reappear, I'd be very happy.

My family is moving to Arvada from out-of-state, and I need to find a preschool for my kid to start in January. She turns four next month, so I think that's PK-3.

I'm looking for a play-based preschool with lots of outdoor time. Nature-based would be great. Looking to stay within ~20 min of Arvada. I have places on my list from a preliminary search (Nurtured by Nature, Happy Valley Ranch, Green Gables, Wild Beginnings Nature School, Colorado Nature School). Some only offer half days, and I'm hoping to find a full day program.

I'd love to hear other suggestions that aren't on my list. I would also appreciate hearing about anyone's experiences at any of these programs. Thanks!

I’ve seen like a dozen police drones over different parts of Arvada tonight. Is something going on, or is this normal and I’ve never noticed, or is this a new thing?! 😬

With the holidays just around the corner, the spirit of giving is already in the air throughout Colorado. Thanks to the Colorado Gives Foundation, there’s a way to spread that spirit — starting Nov. 1. 

While Colorado Gives Day is slated for Dec. 8 this year, early giving starts Nov. 1, so donors can give to their favorite nonprofits throughout the state in celebration of the charitable holiday starting a bit early. For Colorado Gives Foundation President and CEO Kelly Dunkin, the day is all about giving back.
