  • Anythink Drive-In rescheduled due to weather

    Immersive storytelling experience to be held on March 27 

     THORNTON, Colo.–March 11, 2021–Due to inclement weather, Anythink Drive-In: A Wildly Wonderful, Curiously Celestial Adventure in Storytelling will now take place on Saturday, March 27 at 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm at Anythink Brighton.  The event was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, March 13. 

     Community and media partners are invited to hear and see folktales like never before. Anythink Drive-In: A Wildly Wonderful, Curiously Celestial Adventure in Storytelling will provide two opportunities for families to experience an immersive storytelling session from the comfort of their vehicles. Created in conjunction with Alt Ethos, a Denver-based experiential design studio, the Anythink Drive-In will feature a variety of folktales – from Rumpelstiltskin to Anansi the Spider – told using light and sound. Using an FM transmitter, participants will be able to tune in to a broadcast from their car while lights and other visual elements accompany the tales.  

     “At Anythink, creativity knows no bounds, and this is especially true when our staff and partners combine forces,” says Anythink Director of Strategic Partnerships Stacie Ledden. “Between the passion for storytelling from our Anythink Brighton staff and Alt Ethos’ ability to bring tales to life through light and sound, the Anythink Drive-In will be an interactive experience that families will never forget.”  

     “We are thrilled to continue our creative partnership with Anythink and deliver to the community an imaginative event to create inspiration and delight,” says Alt Ethos CEO Ethan Bach.  

     At the events, attendees will receive special materials and instructions to participate from their vehicles. Stories are appropriate for all ages, and fantastic costumes of all kinds are encouraged. Anythink Drive-In: A Wildly Wonderful, Curiously Celestial Adventure in Storytelling will have two sessions at 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm. Both events are free and open to the public, but advance registration is required online. Participants should register once per vehicle.   

     With reservations full, special accommodations and additional opportunities are available for media.  

     This immersive storytelling experience is one example of how the library continues to engage with community partners and thought-leaders to provide unique and creative opportunities for the residents of Adams County. Anythink previously partnered with Alt Ethos in 2019 to create The Singing Tree, an interactive public art piece permanently on display at Anythink Perl Mack.

  • CHSAA Basketball Playoff Slated for March 13 Postponed

    The current forecasts do not present a positive picture for the weather on Saturday, March 13. In the best interests of the safety of those players, coaches and families traveling this weekend, we are postponing all games scheduled for March 13. Those games will be rescheduled to Monday, March 15. Because Monday has become a playoff date, schools may practice on Sunday, March 14, per CHSAA bylaws.

    The new schedule will have the Great 8 games playing March 15 and the semifinal games on March 17. This still allows for a travel day between games.

     Knowing that the potential for significant snowfall is imminent, we will continue to monitor the impact of the storm in the event an additional postponement is needed. Should that be necessary, we will play Great 8 on Tuesday, March 16, but still have the semifinal games on March 17.

     The state championship games remain scheduled for March 19 and 20 at The Broadmoor World Arena.

  • State Labor Dept. Day 3 of Phase 2 Benefits Update: More than $206 million paid to 130,000 people

    State Labor Dept. Day 3 of Phase 2 Benefits Update: More than $206 million paid to 130,000 people

    (DENVER) — Today the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) announced that since deploying Phase 2 of the Continued Assistance Act (CAA) on February 20th, it has paid more than $206 million to more than 130,000 people. Phase 2 allowed claimants to reopen and file new Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) claims.

    The Continued Assistance Act provides 11 additional weeks of federal PUA and PEUC benefits. Additionally, the act reestablished the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) program, which provides unemployment recipients with an additional $300 weekly benefit.

    All new PUA claimants will be required to go through ID.me verification. This is a federal requirement adding an extra step for claimants, however, it greatly reduces fraudulent activity. Claimants will have 21 days to do this and payment will not be released until it is completed. If a claimant has an integrity hold or locked account please complete the integrity hold online form. If a claimant does not have an integrity hold on their account, they do not need to fill out the form. 

    The Call Center will be open extended hours Monday, February 22 and Tuesday February 23 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
