With temperatures mired in the teens, runners were thankful for the sunny skies that bloomed for the Thanksgiving Day meal at the finish line of the three-point-one-mile race. Twenty-eight-year-old Adam Rich of Colorado Springs was first in a time of 14 minutes, 25 seconds.
Shop 'til You Drop Today!
It's Black Friday and there are lots of deals to be had, but for the really good deals you had to arrive early. This is the day retailers hope to get out of the red and into the black. Some stores in Denver began Black Friday sales as early as 10 p.m. last night. Kohl's announced it'll open at 3 a.m. this morning while JCPenny, Macy's, Target and Sears will be open at 4 a.m. The National Retail Federation estimates 138-million consumers will shop either in person or online during this holiday weekend, an increase of nearly four-million over last year.
Brownlee Funeral Monday
The Weld County Sheriff's deputy killed in the line of duty this week will be laid to rest Monday. Forty-three-year-old Sam Brownlee died Tuesday of gunshot wounds he suffered after a high-speed chase of 20-year-old Rueben Reyes. Reyes grabbed Brownlee's pistol and shot the deputy three times before he himself was shot by a police officer. Brownlee's service will be held at the Hancock Sports Pavilion on the Greeley campus of Northern Colorado. A procession is scheduled afterward from campus to Linn Grove Cemetery in Greeley.
