📰 In the news
Seasonal to full-time openings: Looking for work? A free young adult job fair happens today at Greeley’s Island Grove Event Center, connecting ages 14 to 24 with local employers, resume help, and free headshots — get all the details.
Long-running festival evolves: Loveland Loves BBQ, Bands & Brews is getting a new name as Loveland Loves BBQ, Bands & Brews Fest, with more local music and support for local charities this summer — see what’s changing and when.
Front Range projects get greenlight: State TOCI grants totaling $13.3 million were awarded, with nearby Fort Collins and Longmont receiving $4 million for a Longmont transit hub and $792,000 for a 45-unit affordable housing project — get all the details.
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.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

💎 Local business spotlight
Your next show night: Whether you’re craving a laugh, a classic, or simply two blissful hours with your phone on silent, The Stampede Troupe keeps Greeley’s theater buzzing. Nunsense is up next, promising mischief and melodies. Veterans, volunteers, and first-timers can jump in behind the scenes and keep the magic rolling.
Sonoran-style cravings, solved: Need a midweek pick-me-up? At Marcos Hot Dogs & Tacos, bacon-wrapped dogs come charred just right, with a salsa bar that turns “one more topping” into a sport. Easy, fast, wildly satisfying, and perfect for nights when cooking feels like a group project.
Refill your TBR stack: Browse Downtown Greeley’s The Midnight Oil Bookstore, home to 18,000 mostly used titles with a few new surprises. Settle into linger-awhile vibes where a quick stop becomes a small adventure, and swap endless scrolling for real pages this week.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
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 three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
