Hi Greeley, we made it to Thursday!
In today’s fun-for-grown-ups edition: IKEA is coming, one million seedlings to restore forests, and ZZ Top live + plenty of reasons to put on real pants this week.
Quick money tip: 2025 was gold’s best year since 1979, and it’s still at all-time highs. Analysts expect the momentum to continue, making precious metals a smart way to protect your savings against inflation. Not sure where to start? These five gold IRAs are worth a look →

📰 In the news
Filling the seedling gap: Just down the road in Loveland, OneCanopy aims to grow one million plants a year by 2027, helping restore Rocky Mountain forests after wildfires, insects, and disease impact public lands — see which agencies are involved.
Building futures with neighbors: Nearby Loveland Habitat for Humanity is accepting applications through March 31 for its homeownership program, including 0% interest mortgages, eligibility for those living or working in Loveland, and required classes — see who’s eligible and when.
Global retailer plots local debut: An IKEA store is coming to Fort Collins later this year, surprising city officials. The 64,000-square-foot site at Front Range Village will offer home design help and Swedish food nearby — see what’s planned and where.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
Paying hundreds of dollars a month for car insurance? Switching providers could save you up to $600 a year, and shopping around is way faster than it used to be – free comparison tools like this one make it easy.*
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Fresh mani-pedi mood: Whether you’re team gel, dip, or acrylic, G Nail Lounge keeps things easy with thorough care, clean shapes, and relaxing pedis that reset your week. Bonus: they’ve got waxing and kids’ services too, so you can turn errands into a quick little self-care moment.
Fresh-baked mood booster: When a proper New York–style chew is in order, Gib’s Bagels in Windsor comes through with fresh-baked rounds, from-scratch schmears (jalapeño cheddar to classic lox), and breakfast sandwiches that don’t phone it in—grab a couple extra for midweek morale and toaster therapy.
Feed them right: J & T Feeds is a locally owned Greeley staple with a deep lineup of dog, cat, and small‑animal foods, plus handy extras like nail trims, obedience classes, and occasional affordable vet clinics—ideal when the kibble bin runs low and your sidekick’s standards are outrageously high.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
In case you missed it: The CVS Epic Beauty Sale was officially extended through March 28th, giving you another chance to stack rewards on top of already-great deals across all sorts of treat-yourself products, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale →
The $1,300 mistake most Americans make every year: According to the National Financial Education Council, poor financial literacy costs the average American over a thousand dollars annually. That’s not investment losses. That’s money lost to bad decisions, missed strategies, and advice from people who may not always put your interests first. There’s a free way to fix that, and it starts with one question. Find out what it is →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared five programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Your homeowners insurance has a blind spot: It covers your house if a tree falls on it. It doesn’t cover your furnace when it quits in January, your AC when it dies in July, or your water heater when it starts leaking on a Tuesday. Those are all classified as “normal wear and tear,” and they’re 100% on you. We looked into solutions that fill that gap. Here’s what we found →
Strangers can buy your personal data for $0.50: Data brokers sell your name, home address, phone number, estimated income, and other personal info to anyone willing to pay. Scammers and identity thieves use these databases to take advantage of you. There are dozens of affordable services that can help you protect yourself. These three are our favorites →

🎨 Spring Flowers Watercolor @ Makers Mercantile & Studio | Saturday (3/21) at 1:00 PM – Finally, flowers you can’t kill. A laid-back watercolor class covers three blooms and a vase with wet-on-wet magic, plus a bookmark, presketched canvas, your choice of quote and colors, a 5×7 frame, and zero experience required. Ages 13+, teen optional.
😇 Nunsense @ Union Colony Civic Center | Sunday (3/22) at 2:00 PM – If you’ve been praying for a night of laughs, Nunsense is hitting the Hensel Phelps Theatre at the Union Colony Civic Center with habit-fueled hijinks and toe-tapping tunes.

🎸 ZZ Top @ Greeley, CO | Tuesday (3/24) at 7:00 PM – Weeknight looking a little bland? ZZ Top is rolling into Monfort Concert Hall with that Texas swagger, big riffs, and louder beards, the kind that makes Tuesday feel like Saturday.

🎙 J Chris Newberg @ Stella’s Pinball Arcade & Lounge | Thursday (3/26) at 8:00 PM – Need a laugh that’s not courtesy of the HOA board? Snag tickets to guitar-slinging comic J Chris Newberg at Stella’s Pinball Arcade & Lounge, where sharp jokes, cold drinks, and the satisfying ping of nostalgia make for a proper Greeley night out.
