• Investigation underway into fire that forced a Castle Rock restaurant to close its doors (kdvr.com) — A fire early Tuesday forced Hideaway Bar and Grill in Castle Rock to close, leaving 21 employees temporarily out of work while investigators look into what owners say appears suspicious. Damage was largely contained to the back and kitchen areas, and the Stroh family has launched a GoFundMe to help staff cover living expenses until the 15-year-old restaurant can reopen. 
• Complete guide to metro Denver 2026 farmers markets (denverpost.com) — Castle Rock residents have two farmers markets to enjoy this season: a Sunday market at Festival Park downtown starting May 24, and the long-running Saturday market at Douglas County Fairgrounds beginning June 20.
