By JOHN SEEWER Violence and mass shootings often surge in the summer months, especially around the Fourth of July, historically one of the deadliest days of the year. A flurry of shootings around the holiday a year ago left more than a dozen people dead and over 60 wounded.

Curtin’s goal was to finish with the “fastest known time,” the vernacular endurance athletes use to describe record efforts, and to become the first to do it in less than a week.

The art business is no different than most other commercial enterprises: it takes a little money to make a little money. That is true for all of the artists who show their wares at the annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival.
