July 7th First Descents Paddle-A-Thon
This is the event that will put the "Fun" back in the word fundraiser! The one-day event will be put together to help raise money for First Descents a kayak camp for young adult cancer survivors. It is a great cause, there should be plenty of water and a lot to do for the entire family.

Sept. 22nd & 23rd Pueblo Chile Fest
The Pueblo Chile Fest is the biggest thing in Pueblo next to the Colorado State Fair. Each year local farmers set up roasters and roast Pueblo and Anaheim chiles for paying customers. There are vendors of every shape and size providing food, music and assorted items for festival attendees. This will be the second year that the Pueblo Paddlers will be a part of the festival. There will be a rodeo, a rubber ducky race, a raft race (rafts are to be home made and built with a pepper theme) as well as other fun family and river activities.
