Colorado will be among the first states honored in a new series of 60 postage stamps featuring the flags of the states and U.S. territories. The first 10 designs, to be issued next spring, will also include the Stars and Stripes and the flags of Alabama, Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut and Delaware.

HAPPY 100TH

19 Colorado families who have owned and operated their farm or ranch for at least 100 years will be recognized Aug. 24 in a ceremony at the Colorado State Fair as part of the Centennial Farms program.

PLAN ISN'T CHILD'S PLAY - WAIT, IT IS!

Denver has 150 playgrounds for kids to swing, spin and monkey around at, and the city would like residents to sound off on what they like and don't like about the areas. It's part of a plan to make playgrounds safer and more fun.
