Today's riddle: Do you know what the two sides of a circle are? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Two Felony Suspects Arrested in Greeley (northfortynews.com) — Greeley police arrested two men tied to a Sept. 15 theft at the Centerplace Best Buy, following a multi-agency pursuit that stretched into Loveland and ended with one suspect pinned on U.S. 34. Both men were already wanted on multiple felony warrants across several Colorado jurisdictions and are now held at Weld County Jail as the investigation continues.
2. FAA grant boosts taxiway work at Greeley-Weld Airport (ftluptonpress.com) — Construction of a new taxiway at Greeley-Weld County Airport is moving ahead this month, backed by a $3.5 million FAA grant and major funding from Greeley and Weld County. Local and federal partners say the Echo Bravo Taxiway Complex and new runway will boost airport capacity and long-term regional growth, with work expected to wrap up by year's end.
3. Town guide: Greeley (denvergazette.com) — If you live in Greeley, this guide highlights the history, parks, festivals, and venues that define your city, from the Poudre River Trail and Glenmere Park to the Greeley Stampede and Union Colony Civic Center. It also spotlights local dining and lodging options, plus how visitors typically get here from Denver, underscoring Greeley's blend of agriculture, culture, and recreation.
4. Colorado Smoke Shop Owners Agree to $152K Kratom Settlement (longmontleader.com) — A smoke shop chain that includes Million Smoke & Vape on West 10th Street in Greeley has agreed to pay $152,000 after state investigators said it sold kratom products over Colorado's legal potency limit and with improper labeling. Under the settlement, the owners must tighten testing and compliance at their Greeley and other locations or risk an additional $500,000 penalty.
5. NASA Aircraft to Make Low-Altitude Research Flights Over Colorado (nasa.gov) — Low-flying NASA research flights will be conducted over farmland near Greeley this October to measure agricultural emissions like methane, ammonia, and particulates. The FarmFlux mission, led by NASA with Colorado State University, will study how pollutants from farms interact with the atmosphere, with additional flights planned later in Texas, the Midwest, and California.
