The Pueblo Chieftain: State fair loooking good
The Colorado State Fair has shown a profit for two years in a row, encouraging the management to say it is here to stay in Pueblo.

Cummings was equally firm about putting to rest the perennial talk from Denver about relocating the Fair to the metro area.
