PUEBLO — A piece of Pueblo County's heritage is being celebrated this week. The Pueblo County Fair is happening through Saturday at the Colorado State Fairgrounds.
The event gives teens and kids a chance to show off the hard work they put into their animals, shooting and horse riding.
"It really just means... this is my hard work," said Kelly Sloan who is participating in the fair. "It's kind of just have fun, be yourself. And really, I'm just here to help all the younger kids with everything (like) that."
"They have kids that come to the County Fair," said Braiden Pfeiffer who is participating in the fair. "I feel like (they) learn a lot of life skills. They learn how to talk to people, they learn how to, you know, socialize in general, how to care for animals, things like that."
