Happy weekend, Greeley! 

In today’s happening-today edition: New Eagles arena renderings, St. Patrick’s parade, and Northern Colorado Ninja Warriors + events worth checking out today & tomorrow.

Today’s sponsor (Money.com) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news

Entertainment district takes shape: Fresh renderings highlight The Ranch’s Phase II and Greeley’s Catalyst, featuring an Eagles arena, youth ice sheets, a hotel and water park. The Eagles are slated to move for 2028-29 — check out the new renderings.

Where plains meet peaks: Need a close-to-home escape? Lory State Park, just west of Fort Collins, offers 26 miles of trails, from the Well Gulch loop to Arthur’s Rock’s 1,000-foot climb with sweeping views — explore trails and ecosystems.

A third career takes shape: Downtown Loveland welcomed PigStyle, a new vinyl shop from a former forestry researcher and software engineer, featuring used records, a booth with two turntables, and interactive music displays — read the full story.

Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.

Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are. Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you (or someone you care about) to clean up all that up – learn more here.

Highlights this week:

• Celebrate St. Patrick’s with parade and festivities
• Hands-on Spring Break STEM for kids
• Grab breakfast to support Meals on Wheels
• Over 62? See how to turn home equity into tax-free cash

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?

Together with our sponsor Money.com

Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.

The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.

I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.

This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back

Smart splash of color: Need a two-minute mood lift? Take a quick peek at The Einstein Mural by Armando Silva & Zach Keiss (installed 2020), breathe in, and let a small spark of wonder recalibrate you. Then head back to your day feeling lighter, a touch sharper, and about 10% more curious.

Your cozy fiber nook: The Ginger Cat blends yarn shop and hangout, stocked with skeins, notions, and classes, giving Greeley makers a welcoming place to stitch and chat. Expect project inspo and friendly help from folks who actually speak gauge.

Dialed-in sips nearby: WeldWerks Brewing Co.keeps things fresh with an ever-rotating tap list and an in-house kitchen that makes “one more round” dangerously easy. It’s a reliable local hang where you’ll bump into friends, find something new, and leave a little happier than you arrived.

An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.

American Home Shield covers repairs and replacements on most of your home’s major systems and appliances — old or new, no inspection required.
