DENVER While many people will still keep their Christmas lights up in solidarity, the hundreds of thousands from all over the country who usually flock to the Mile High City for the National Western Stock Show won’t get to see them.
Due to continued risk of COVID-19, the 115th National Western Stock Show was postponed to next year. It would have opened on Saturday, but drone images show that the usually bustling grounds are empty of the cattle and horse trailers that usually invade the complex for 16 days.
