ABC West Child Development Center students Major, 4, and Madalyn, 5, sit together to read at book while inside the Greeley child care center on Jan. 9. From new beginnings to final goodbyes, the people of Greeley and Weld County have undergone a year of transformation. And as each day brought new challenges, our local athletes, students, teachers, volunteers and everyone in between rose up to find opportunity. We cheered for faces we know winning state-
wide recognition, and we celebrated hardfought victories on the field — even when the scoreboard didn’t go our way. We gathered for family fun, witnessing everything from the dust and glory of the Greeley Stampede to friendly competitions and sold-out shows. New business opened their doors, and offi-
cials laid the foundations for major city projects. Through the shifting seasons and the quiet presence of our local wildlife, we navigated complex issues together. And though we may have debated the path forward, we never lost sight of the destination: a better community for everyone.
