We spent Saturday June the 10th in Pueblo. The City was having a BBQ cook off and Jazz fest in city park. We had a good time watching and talking with all the BBQ contestants. In case you are wondering --- we didn't give the "road-kill" product a taste test.

You have to love contestants with names like "Boys From Tornado Alley" from Oklahoma and "Sweet Peppers" from Gering, Nebraska. We enjoyed the signs and banners from each of the contestants.

Park where the BBQ cookoff & jaz fest was held in Pueblo, Colorado
There were also several good groups providing good music. The crowd was dancing, sitting, paddling boats in the river and generally having a great time. The El Pueblo History Museum in Pueblo was hosting a Zebulon Pike Exhibition this summer that normally is part of the exhibit at the Colorado Historical Museum in Denver. When it got hot at the Jazz fest we walked over to the museum and took advantage of their air conditioning while learning more about Pike's exploratory journey. Coyote's Live Music & BBQ in Penrose, Colorado between Pueblo & Canon City
Later in the afternoon Joyce located a restaurant in the small town of Penrose featuring live music so we enjoyed food and music until they shut down at 9PM.
Coyote's Live Music & BBQ in Penrose, Colorado between Pueblo & Canon City
The music consisted of a man and woman on guitars with a little singing. The man was a lead guitar player extraordinaire while his wife played rhythm guitar and did some singing. They were good. The man on the lead guitar was outstanding and he loved what he was doing. He could make that guitar do things it probably wasn't supposed to.
