Woodland Park residents are likely to face increased natural gas prices this winter, with monthly bills increasing an average of $12. Black Hills Corp (who acquired Aquila recently) cite the usual reasons: increased demand, disruptions in supply due to hurricanes, and higher prices for crude oil (despite crude dropping this year).

Just a reminder, this weekend is one of the last big outdoor event weekends before everyone turns their focus indoor for the winter. Saturday is the huge Cruise Above the Clouds Car Show (free for spectators) on the streets around Memorial Park, where you can expect to see everything from old hot rods to a handful of newer cars of interest (there will be at least one Lotus there, probably a Corvette or two, and who knows what else). Friday night will be the Big Band concert in the Ute Pass cultural center, then Saturday at noon will be a free concert on the grass outside the Cultural Center, with free parking and beer (not free) provided by Bristol Brewing. It'll be a great outdoor experience, wandering amongst the gleaming cars, then a free outdoor concert. Don't let today's weather scare you either, tomorrow's forecast to be sunny and clear with a high in the low 60's!
Those of us who have either moved here from other states or have visited friends and family elsewhere have likely come across the store Ikea in our travels. This store has been able to create a devoted fan base through the style, originality, and price of its merchandise. Well, finally, Ikea will be coming to Colorado, with a store to be built in Centennial. It's not clear exactly when they'll open as they're still in the process of buying the land, but this is great news for many. Read more in the Post.
