Here are the top three stories today in Colorado Springs:

1. Famed comedian Dave Chappelle is performing in Colorado Springs Apr. 17 at Pikes Peak Center. The show is somewhat of a surprise announcement with ticket prices not currently listed. The show has a stated policy of not allowing cellphones, recording devices, and cameras during the performance. (Colorado Springs Gazette)
2. The El Paso Sheriff's Office is warning the community about the Orbeez Challenge and its dangerous consequences. The challenge is a social media trend encouraging people to shoot gel balls at unsuspecting victims. It is, unfortunately, taking root in the Colorado Springs area. The office, in a news release, warns that the challenge can result in serious injury and possible felony-level charges. (Colorado Springs Gazette)
3. The City of Colorado Springs is breaking ground on a new PGA-certified golf course that is over 14,000 feet. The course is the first of its kind and a year-long environmental study was conducted on its impact. Completion of the course is expected in April 2023. (Press Release Desk)

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Colorado Springs resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there's a new investment Colorado Springs residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it's fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn't new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here's why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
