Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Updated emergency rule protects livestock from New World Screwworm (journal-advocate.com) — State agriculture officials in Broomfield have backed an updated emergency rule to protect Colorado livestock from the New World Screwworm, responding to outbreaks in Texas, New Mexico and northern Mexico. The rule tightens import inspections, treatment and quarantine powers for animals entering the state, aiming to safeguard ranchers, 4-H families and other livestock owners across Colorado.
2. Boulder and Longmont-area scores and highlights from Week 7 football (About Last Night) (dailycamera.com) — Broomfield High's football team stayed undefeated with a 56-0 rout of Brighton and now prepares to host fellow league-unbeaten Montbello in a key home showdown Friday. The roundup also tracks how nearby programs like Monarch, Legacy, and Fairview fared, giving Broomfield fans a quick look at league rivals and upcoming matchups.
3. Nederland is seeking state funds, donations to complete purchase of Eldora Mountain Resort (coloradosun.com) — Nederland is scrambling for state support and donations to finance its ambitious, bond-heavy plan to buy Eldora ski area, raising broader questions about small towns taking on big debt. As a cautionary tale, the story points to Broomfield's demolished 1stBank Center, whose bonds will ultimately cost about $135 million despite the arena's teardown.
4. Blue Mountain Operations Wins 2026 Oil & Gas Cleantech Challenge (prlog.org) — A Broomfield-based firm, Blue Mountain Operations, just took first place in Colorado Cleantech's 2026 Oil & Gas Cleantech Challenge for its solar-powered equipment that cuts methane emissions at remote sites.
