Aurora is now home to a very special ice cream shop. They hire "heroes" as they call them, teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. AuroraTV takes you to Howdy Homemade Ice Cream's first Colorado store for a story that's sweet in so many ways. Also on this week's show, Aurora's new fire chief is sworn in; another huge honor for East Middle School's Jimmy Day who's Colorado's Teacher of the Year; Grandview's girls' basketball team takes state for the second year in a row; and the Community College of Aurora teams up with Amazon to help local students succeed. Those stories and so much more this week on Aurora Now.
