For the 74th year the annual “Lighting of the Star,” on top of the Castle Rock, will happen on the Saturday before Thanksgiving at Wilcox Square in downtown Castle Rock.

November 21st, beginning at 1:00 p.m., carolers, bell ringers, musicians, hot chocolate, carriage rides, puppet shows and a variety of special holiday celebrations comprise this “Norman Rockwell experience.”

The Starlighting program begins at 5 p.m. and includes a group sing of Silent Night and the traditional reading of the Starlighting Poem. That jolly old elf himself, Santa Claus, directs the crowd in the count-down to the lighting of the Star. The Castle Rock Fire Department sponsors a Chili Supper at the station on Perry Street from 3-7:00 p.m. For more details, visit www.castlerock.org or call the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce at 303-688-4597.

The Starlighting Title Sponsor, Castle Rock Bank, is proud to sponsor this long-standing community tradition as it celebrates its 35th anniversary as your independent, locally-owned community bank.

Prediction on the 2009-2010 Bronco season

US Food Dude — Sat, 09 May 2009 03:29:25 +0000

I believe the Denver Broncos will go 9-7 this year.

I like the new coaching staff and the new outlook on the team. Josh McDanials is a bright young coach, who i believe will motivate this team and instill a winning attitude.

I like the free agents they signed, especially on the defensive side, ie: Brian Dawkins and Andrea Goodman. They got more defense when they drafted Robert Ayers, Alphonso Smith and Darcel McBath. Also, we picked up a great running back, Knowshon Moreno from Georgia. He has lots of speed and will take presure off of the QB’s.

Jay Cutler was a great quarterback and will be a star someday(if he can adjust his attitude and get thicker skin) but it wasn’t here. We will do well with the quaterbacks we have, no matter who starts!

New year, new system, new lease on life. I think the players (new and old) will embrace this change, play hard as a team and win as a team!
