New lottery ticket: "Hidden Gems of Colorado"

New to the Colorado Lottery this month is a Scratch game called "Hidden Gems of Colorado." The game was developed by the Colorado Lottery and Colorado Tourism Office to boost awareness of things to see and do across the state. The game was inspired by the Colorado Tourism Office’s official vacation guide, “99 Gorgeous Places in Colorado.” The ticket’s graphic elements and unique prize structure; every prize ends in “9,” comes from the 99 Gorgeous Places theme.

Weld County farm fire that killed a half-million chickens ruled ‘accidental’

ROGGEN, Colo. – Investigators say the cause of a fire that killed 500,000 chickens at a Weld County egg farm on April 30 was “accidental,” the Greeley Tribune is reporting.

Despite the official findings, the company that operates the farm continues to investigate the incident.

According to the Tribune, the Boulder Valley Poultry egg farm produced about 25 percent of the eggs sold in Colorado prior to the fire. The chickens killed in fire produced about 250,000 eggs per day, or about one-eighth of Colorado’s total egg production.

A King Soopers representative told FOX31 Denver that consumers aren’t likely to face negative impacts because of the loss of production at that farm, adding that retailers will get eggs from other sources in the state and the region. Additionally, other egg farms are increasing production to meet demand.

Front Range firefighters bare (almost) all for charity calendar

DENVER — Despite the chill in the air Friday night, it’s quite heated at auditions for the 2013 Colorado Firefighter Calendar in Denver.

This is the calendar’s first major event since a financial scandal last fall forced the former organizer to step down.

The screams firefighters hear are usually for help–not this–ladies screaming and squealing with delight.

And usually firefighters battle smoke and flames–not each other.

“Whether I make it or whether I don’t, just being asked to do it is a great honor,” says Eric Pingel from Buckley AFB Fire Department.

These professional firefighters compete for one of 14 coveted spots in the 2013 Colorado Firefighter Calendar.

“Firefighters are all about helping people. If we can use our role as firefighters to promote fire safety and help Children’s Hospital, I think any of us would take advantage of the opportunity,” says Matt Zavala with Boulder Fire Department.
