Good morning, Fort Collins.

At Colorado State University, the Astral Threads Fashion Show held on May 2 in the Lory Student Center Grand Ballroom featured work from 23 student designers, many of whom were seniors presenting their final capstone collections (organized by students in committees with a focus on sustainability and STEM). The event concluded with an awards ceremony where fan vote winner Alexandra Evans was recognized for her collection ALEgance.

The City of Fort Collins and BNSF Railway will close West Prospect Road from June 3—June 5 for a full railroad crossing replacement and have set detours from South Shields Street to College Avenue for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Residents are advised to follow signs to avoid delays during the closure.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the most decorated alpine skier, signed on as an investor in Denver's new NWSL team on Tuesday, May 6—following plans for a 12,000-seat stadium and a 2026 launch—and she said she is excited to support the growth of women's sports in Colorado—citing her deep local roots.
