Hello Joan - I remember flying into Denver many years ago(the old airport actually) when I recall noticing lots and lots of cowboy hats upon arriving.  That should have been my first clue.  Your posts about the National Western Stock Show is yet another indication.

Sounds like a fantastic way for people to connect with the community Joan. To see those Longhorns strolling down Denver streets must be one heckuva sight.

Debe, that is true, one would not think these huge animals would be going down a major downtown street in a huge city like Denver!
