USOPM launching 'Spring Into Victory' over spring break

COLORADO SPRINGS — The United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum (USOPM) will be hosting ‘Spring Into Victory,’ keeping the museum open for seven days a week during spring break. Starting March 24, museum visitors are invited to explore “expanded opportunities” to learn more about the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the athletes that make it possible. The week of events will end on Sunday, March 30. USOPM, in collaboration with TrueSport, will be hosting a Museum-wide scavenger hunt to “encourage visitors to explore exhibits while learning about the core values of sportsmanship, respect, and perseverance.”The Pueblo Police Department is warning people of card skimming happening at several locations across the Steel City. Card skimming is not a new crime, but Pueblo police say it’s becoming increasingly common.____
