Pueblo Chili and Frijoles Fest begins Friday, park information

PUEBLO, CO — Many of you are probably heading to the Pueblo Chili and Frijoles Festival. If you're there on the weekend, be sure to wear a rain jacket and bring an umbrella.

It's a big year for the festival. It's its 30th anniversary and visitors I've spoken to say it gets bigger every year. It's three days of events for all the family. I came yesterday to see the set-up and met a woman who has been coming to the festival with her family for thirty years.

“There weren't many dealers, but now there's a whole plethora of things to look at and enjoy, and then you meet people you haven't seen in years or forever, and things like that.”

I checked and you need tickets. Right now they are only eight dollars on the Pueblo Chili Festival website. Kids under 12 get in free. As for parking, I found out there is plenty of it out here. You can park for free in a few lots near City Center Dr and Union. As well as Central Main Street and D Street.

There's even a free shuttle from Sixth Street Midtown Shopping Center. However you get here, be safe and see you at the thirtieth Pueblo Chili and Frijoles Festival!

County sheriff plans to appeal against him to Colorado Supreme Court

Years after the Huerfano County District Attorney sued the Sheriff's Office, at least 35 criminal cases were dismissed because the Sheriff's Office failed to produce evidence in a timely manner. Now the Sheriff plans to contest the case and has a different side of the story.
