Lost Creek Guide est. 2005

The Goal of The Lost Creek Guide is to help promote the people, politics, and culture that reflect the rural areas we serve. You might say, “It’s about who we are - a celebration of our differences and our similarities!”

Each community within our region has it’s own unique culture, yet they face similar struggles and issues. There are articles in every issue written specifically to promote our communities in a positive and informed manner.

We encourage our readers to take advantage of the local services and products offered in our areas. We strive to illustrate to our readers that their local retailers are sources of expert services and products.

The Lost Creek Guide has been in business for eight years. We are locally owned and operated. Our staff consists of people with a variety of talents. We provide a well-rounded range of content in our publication, making the stories interesting and desirable.The paper is printed bi-monthly, on the 1st and 15th, and is sent to all postal boxes in South Weld County, Northeast Weld County, and Morgan County, rural Adams County.

We distribute to over 15,000 residential and business addresses on a regular basis. Our special editions (focused on Agriculture, and Oil & Gas) are distributed to over 30,000 residential and business addresses in Northeast Colorado five times per year.Our paper is read by a community of avid supporters of their local businesses, communities, and rural economy.
