Hello all. I'm back in your inbox this morning with your new edition of the Lakewood Daily, fresh off the presses. Let's get this Wednesday started off right, with a quick guide to everything you need to know about what's happening these days in town...

Wednesday's weather: Hot with plenty of sunshine. High: 95 Low: 66.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Lakewood who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Lakewood Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Lakewood:

  1. Where are the smokey skies coming from? Those that are sensitive to air quality issues should consider less exposure outside today, due to large amounts of smoke that is blowing in from western wildfires in Idaho and Montana. (9News)
  2. Surviving living in a mountain town. Being a local isn't always easy in a resort town. 5280 takes a deeper dive on how locals are making it in Breckenridge. (5280)
  3. Mount Evans closes for the season. You can still drive part way up to Summit Lake, but the upper portion of Mount Evans highway closed on Tuesday until next May. (7News)
  4. Jefferson County forced to clean up homeless camp. It took 4 dumpsters, and cost $16,000 as Jefferson County officials cleaned up a homeless camp near Gold Strike Park in Arvada. (CBS4)
