After 15 days of rodeos, live stock shows and other events best observed from under the brim of a cowboy hat, the 112th annual National Western Stock Show came to a close in a snowy Denver on Sunday. But the metro area’s personal slice of Western culture gave attendees one more Colorado-tinged moment to remember before riding off into the sunset. Pueblo resident Christine Laughlin won first place in barrel racing in the pro rodeo finals Sunday afternoon, beating 101 competitors to earn the victory belt buckle.
