Summary
Councilmember Daryl Watson invited Denver residents to the National Western Stock Show kickoff, saying the event begins Thursday and helps fund more than $300,000 in scholarships for youth across neighborhoods including Globeville and Swansea; other councilmembers announced district gatherings and community events.
Councilmember Daryl Watson invited Denver residents to the kickoff of the National Western Stock Show, saying the event “begins this Thursday” and urging people to attend to support community investment.
Watson told fellow council members that the Stock Show supports more than $300,000 in scholarships for young people in neighborhoods including Globeville and Swansea, and encouraged residents to “spend your money, help us to invest in scholarships, and have a great time.”
Councilmember Diana Romero Campbell said she will host a District 7 pre-Stock Show gathering at Desert Social on Thursday at 5:30 p.m., where tickets will be available and attendees can expect food, music and a live horse photo opportunity. She also noted personal greetings — celebrating birthdays and the Epiphany — that several members exchanged during openings.
Other brief public reminders included a city recycling tip: a councilmember encouraged residents to recycle Christmas trees (noting Sloan’s Lake as a drop-off location) so trees can be turned into free mulch in spring. The announcements closed as the council prepared to move into an executive session on real estate matters.
