🌾🚜 Proclamation: National Agriculture Day – March 24, 2026 🚜🌾
The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners proudly proclaimed March 24, 2026, as National Agriculture Dayin Pueblo County.
Agriculture plays a vital role in our community — from the farmers and ranchers who produce our food, fiber, and fuel, to the many workers across the farm and food industry who keep our local economy strong. Pueblo County’s agricultural heritage continues to support jobs, protect natural resources, and provide safe, high-quality products both locally and around the world.
We thank our farmers, ranchers, and agricultural partners for their dedication, stewardship, and commitment to sustaining Pueblo County for future generations.
Join us in recognizing and celebrating the hardworking individuals who help feed our communities and drive our economy forward. 🌱🐄🌽

We would like to congratulate Sherie Shaffer, Amanda Weidner, and Beth Hayes on their selection for the Outstanding Women awards. Ms. Shaffer and Ms. Weidner were notminated by the Pueblo City County Library for their work with the seed library, and Ms. Hayes was nominated by the Pueblo County Beekeepers Association for her work with that organization.

We are proud to have our amazing people recognized in such a way. Congratulations!

This past Tuesday, we gathered to celebrate 33 Outstanding Women during our annual Outstanding Women Awards! 🌺

These women make an impact felt deep in our community and we're so glad we had the opportunity to celebrate them.
