Good morning, Denver.
💼 Business
A new claw arcade opened on Broadway in early September in a space that saw several business closures in recent years — owners Jay Chen and his wife Emma hope the arcade will bring in new customers.
The arcade features machines that offer stuffed animals and credits for bigger prizes and has received warm support from local merchants as they push for a new improvement district.
🎭 Culture
Local 303 is featuring new music by Colorado artists such as Cheap Perfume, Patrick Dethlefs and Packaging — a mix of punk, folk and pop — and invites fans to attend a free 21+ Halloween-themed meetup at Skylark Lounge on Oct.
27 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event includes a costume contest with prizes.

On September 25th at Jefferson County Fairgrounds, about 2,000 girls learned about construction work as 70 exhibitors demonstrated tasks like mixing concrete and operating excavators—an effort to boost the workforce amid a local shortage.
The HOYA Foundation organized the event to mentor and guide young women into a field that has long seen few female workers.
🎓 Education
Colorado schools are using a near-peer program that pairs 18- to 24-year-olds with students facing mental health challenges to help them stay in school.

University of Colorado Boulder chancellor Justin Schwartz & athletic director Rick George condemned a hateful chant targeting Mormons at the BYU football game on Sunday.
They said the Fan Code of Conduct will hold violators accountable by enforcing rules that encourage respectful behavior.
