Good morning, Colorado Springs.

The Broncos are extending their “All in, All Covered” initiative to help over 17,000 Colorado kids with registration fees and equipment for tackle and flag football, partnering with Every Kid Sports & Good Sports.

A small fire south of Fountain was contained Saturday afternoon as crews mopped up a 2-acre blaze near Old Pueblo and Link roads (evacuation orders on Jordan Road were lifted by 3 p.m.) with no injuries or property damage.

Marilyn Mondragon-Wren lost all three homes on her Beulah property when the Aspen Acres Fire swept through, and she now stays in Colorado Springs (with community support and faith helping her rebuild) as the wildfire continues across southern Colorado and forces evacuations.

Data through Q1 2026 show Colorado’s real GDP grew only 1.4% versus a 2.7% national rate, as lower population growth + aging workforce challenge housing and job gains; meanwhile, Colorado Springs sees modest rises in job openings, hotel occupancy, and affordable housing efforts.

Switchbacks forward Adrien Perez scored two goals and earned an assist in a 3-1 win over Phoenix Rising FC at Weidner Field on Saturday.

His performance marked a strong comeback after a loss on June 24.

Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman is headed to his second All-Star Game and will join the Midsummer Classic in Philadelphia on July 14.
