Good morning, Pueblo.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife removed admission fees at all 43 state parks on Black Friday because they wanted people to spend time outside instead of waiting in long retail lines—this Fresh Air Friday program helped families enjoy nature and create lasting memories.
🏛️ Government
On November 24, the Pueblo City Council voted six to one to add $176,000 to the Pueblo Zoo's budget — raising it to $944,000.
