The Denver chapter of the DSA, the largest socialist organization in the U.S., held its first “People’s Pride” June 21.

BOULDER, Colo. — Michael Lawlor circled the lot at Eben G. Fine Park searching for a place to park. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday, but the summer’s first blast of 90-degree heat had drawn hordes of swimmers, sunbathers and call-out-sick-ers to the banks of Boulder Creek. Come spring, snowmelt rolls off the Indian Peaks and races down Boulder Canyon. When the water tumbles through town, kayakers and tubers launch themselves into its current.

DENVER — Marion Caldwell stepped up to the table and planted her legs wide, with her knees bent and the paddle gripped firmly in her right hand. Her eyes narrowed, locking in on the table tennis ball lying flat in her competitor’s palm as she prepared to receive the serve. Caldwell is no stranger to competitive sports. In her early 20s, she was a world champion freestyle skier. This year, at 70, she competed in her first table tennis tournament at the Colorado Senior Games.

GLENDO, Wyo. — The rules of steer wrestling are simple enough: chase a runaway steer, leap off your horse and muscle the animal to the ground. “You better have your hammer cocked and like a little bit of contact,” said professional steer wrestler Austin Eller, 31, who began competing at 16 years old. But finding steers to wrestle is getting harder. The best steers come from Mexico.

BOULDER, Colo. — When spring arrives, the irises at Long’s Gardens light up in a dazzling array of colors, their bearded blooms drooping like silk cloaks. Owner Catherine Long grows more than 1,000 varieties of iris, from miniature dwarf irises that top out at six inches, to tall, bearded irises that stretch three feet. Choosing which ones to grow can be tricky. Every year, horticulturists release hundreds of new varieties. But growing too many varieties can work against the sales.

DENVER — State officials are celebrating Colorado’s 150th birthday next year with a pedestrian bridge connecting the Colorado State Capitol to Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park. Spearheaded by Gov.

Renderings show the bridge curving over Lincoln Street, stretching more than 11,000 square feet. The project's location, cost and design have drawn some heavy criticism.

He wears faded Carhartt overalls and an Arapahoe Basin trucker hat. To his left is a 1,000 square foot greenhouse with some 7,000 tomato seedlings inside.
