The local museum hosted an inaugural Stego Stampede all day Sept. 27, with 315 participants, including 50 children and dozens of dogs. Many of the participants celebrated the day by dressing as dinosaurs as they walked or ran the 2-mile course along Dinosaur Ridge and back.

In addition to the fun run/walk, the event featured 20 artists at the Paleo ArtFest, food, music and other family-friendly activities throughout the day.

It’s still more than a month until Halloween, but Wheat Ridge junior Joseph Martell has been very tricky for the Farmers’ boys soccer squad.

Martell had a hat trick with a trio of goals in the Farmers’ 4-3 victory over D’Evelyn in Class 4A/3A Jeffco League soccer action Tuesday night at Lakewood Memorial Field.

“It feels like it (net) is humongous, to be honest, but I try not to think about it,” Martell said of his string of hat-tricks. “I just want to play and win. Playing as a team is most important for me.”
