Neon Animals, A Gallery, A store, a Place for the Ages.

There are some places that seam simply to exude positive energy.  Around the Pueblo area  we have  several,  rarely though is it a place of business.   Combine art, business, and good company, and you arrive at  Neon Animals.   Tucked away nicely at 105 W. 2nd Street in Downtown Pueblo, the Gallery/store is located convieniently in the center of town and close to other business’s.  It is becoming knownas  a social center for some of the creative class of Pueblo.  A gathering of souls, so to say.  
It’s Curator, Artist Danielle Harwell, and Co-Curator, Mathew Taylor,  hosts a monthy ‘”showing”, formally displaying the art of local talent.  Although this is an event that is promoted through Facebook, there is a daily stream of activity as a sort of unofficial  “Artist Union Hall”.   Some may know Mathew from the spectacular mural work he does as part of a team here in Pueblo.  They are the crew behind the “Bear”, the “Horse”, and several other massive and beautiful Murals that decorate the Greater Pueblo area..The Pueblo Scout has plans for a story on Mathew and the crew in the near future.
Neon  Animals has and is developing as not only an excellent small venue for art in Pueblo, it’s also a great place to meet new freiends, artists, and of course, network.
One would have to say it is a place that one should “experience” in order to truly understand a place of good Karma.  So if your downtown and interested in art, be sure sure to come down and experience it for yourself. PLEASE!, Donate here .. https://goo.gl/2HpzbM

Pueblo’s Long Time Cowboy Store Closing

We have learned the the famed Clark’s Western Store, being known as the “Cowboy Supply” store for the last years, are closing their doors. 

Below is a quote of a message that appeared on the Cowboy Supply Blog and Facebook page in the last few days.  It will be sad to see them go. 
”Attention Cowboy Supply Friends... With a heavy heart, but a smile on our face,  The Famous Cowboy Supply will be closing it's doors forever. We want to express to you, our local and loyal customers our deepest appreciation for your long time support. The fire in our hearts has slowly diminished as our beloved owner Bill Merhoff passed away nearly a year ago now. It seems like just yesterday.
As a final THANK YOU to the Pueblo community our retirement sale will start this FRIDAY November 20th at 9AM sharp. We've cleared out the basement, the back rooms, and the attic and are getting ready for a sale to end all sales. You know we wouldn't consider going out without a BANG!
Sale hours are 9AM to 9PM Friday & Saturday - 10AM to 6PM Sunday. Don't miss these deals for your holiday shopping. Thank you so much! We hope to see you here!”
The store is located at 300 N Main St, Pueblo, Colorado. 719) 43-4383

Below is a recent locally produced promo video for the Cowboy Supply Store.
