It's a shame what's been happening to the Denver Post. It was purchased by a hedge fund in 2010, and they have done nothing to help the paper. Many of the great staffers have been forced to leave. A tragedy for Denver, and a formerly great paper. A lot of people fail to recognize that without local papers and investigative reporting, with regard to things going on in a town, there's "noone minding the store." In April 2018, a group called "Together for Colorado Springs" said that it was raising money to buy the Post from the hedge fund (Alden Global Capital), saying that “Denver deserves a newspaper owner who supports its newsroom." Hopefully something will come of it.
Why some organization hasn't stepped up to sponsor the Frontier Days trip is another story. No excuse for a town that's been booming like Denver has been in recent years.
