The Pueblo County commissioners approved using $600,000 in marijuana excise tax funds to honor a longtime beneficiary of the Colorado 4-H and FFA community through the State Fair Junior Livestock Sale during a late February meeting.
For decades Sam Brown and his family have set record sale prices on various animals sold by 4-H exhibitors at the annual Colorado State Fair. This year, that generosity has been noted through a wall of honor to be installed at Gate 5, located on Prairie Avenue, with Brown s name to be the first to grace its surface. For me, it was important to recognize someone who s done a tremendous amount of work, not only at the fair, but in the community, said Commissioner Chris Wiseman during the Feb. 25 Pueblo County Commissioner s meeting.
