WELD COUNTY, CO – Last night at the monthly meeting for the Highway 85 Coalition, a room full of judges narrowed 105 entries for the Centennial Highway Logo Contest down to one design which will represent the corridor through Weld County. Steve Gonser, of Greeley, submitted the winning logo and will receive the $1,000 prize for his design.

“We were very impressed with the quality of entries we had to review,” said Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer, member of the Highway 85 Coalition. “The creativity of many of the entries made our job difficult. It was great to see so much participation from the community, and we believe the winning logo will represent the 85 corridor well.”

A total of 105 logos, submitted by 44 individuals, were entered into the contest. Each logo was catalogued, given a number and presented to the judges for review at last night’s meeting.

Colorado Progressive Coalition members (CPC) in conjunction with members of Occupy Denver are in the process of conducting a foreclosure auction disruption at the Wellington Webb Building at 201 West Colfax Ave. The group, which has termed themselves The Foreclosure Working Group, are conducting the action in response to an AG’s settlement that was light on penalties for the five “Big Banks” and failed to address regulations on other lending firms. Members are calling for an end to all foreclosures till a full investigation into the mortgage lending industry is conducted and acted on.
