One of the highlights of
the summer of 2002 was the day we spent at the Colorado State Fair,
down in the dusty town of
Pueblo on the southern plains of Colorado.
Waiting on line to buy
tickets for the rodeo we met Ida and Tony Garcia, from Pueblo, who were
anxiously looking forward to the evening's rodeo. (I think Tony wanted to
leave Ida and run off with Katherine...)
|
|
 |
There were all
kinds of exciting things
to see and do at
the fair... |
|
You could check up
on your chances of getting into heaven.. |
|
 |
or browse for that
perfect rabbit... |
 |
|
You could admire the
livestock... |
|
 |
or milk a very
patient, long suffering, cow named Bessie... |
 |
|
We visited an
enormous pig named Harley |
|
 |
and a Giant Horse working
under the name 'Hercules' |
|
 |
plus a guy named
Bush... |
 |
|
Katherine had her
personality analyzed
(we know that it was
scientifically accurate because they used a Televack 62000 computer)... |
|
 |
|
As the sun set over
Pueblo, the rodeo got under way at the fair grounds. We found seats in
the
stands next to the bucking chutes--with the stock
contractors, the cowboys, and their girlfriends. |
|
 |
After the rodeo
ended, there was a country music concert in the
fair grounds by Mark
Chestnutt and the Rockin' Roadhouse Tour.
then it was time to
say goodbye to the fair and drive back to Denver. |
 |
 |
We found happiness in
a casino in Blackhawk which was featuring Krispy Kreme doughnuts and a
Neil Diamond tribute show! |
 |
|
And then we got back
to Denver just in time for a tornado to blow through the part of town
where we were staying... |
|
 |
 |
That's what we call
an exciting weekend! |
