There may be smoke today, south of Steamboat Springs. If not today, sometime this spring. The U.S. Forest Service is planning to do some prescribed burns in the Harrison Creek Drainage. That’s near Highway 40, on the western Routt National Forest Boundary of Rabbit Ears Pass. Smoke will be visible from Highways 40 and 131. There should be signage along the road. The public is being asked to not report the prescribed fire, as first responders and dispatch will be aware of the operations.

Street sweepers for the City of Steamboat Springs are out on the roads for the traditional spring clean-up.  They’re removing the scoria that has been exposed sooner, due to the warmer weather. Residents can help with the clean-up by raking or sweeping the scoria from their property onto the asphalt shoulder. Long, narrow rows are easier for sweepers to collect than big piles.

Also, residents are reminded that winter parking restrictions, including no overnight parking on city streets, remain in effect through April 30.

Another scam has been popping into phones this weekend. It looks official from the State of Colorado. It says it is a Notice of Default and Ernforcement Action Initiated for a parking violation. Don’t scan the QR Code or call the number on there because it’s just another scam where they want your money.

Meat-In Day was Saturday at Alice Pleasant Park in Downtown Craig. Here’s Lexi Weber with Moffat County Cattlewomen.

“I think that this event and ag is important because it stimulates the economy of our community. It’s also the history and the roots of our community that comes from ag and ranchers around the county. I also think that getting people out into the community and partnering with the downtown businesses helps to support their economic growth as well.”
