The Pueblo Department of Public Health & Environment does more than just handle pandemics.

Trysten Garcia from the PDPHE sits down with Dave Moore to talk about all things health.

What do Skunks, Racoons & Mosquitos all have in common? They are animals you should steer clear of this summer.

When it comes to mosquito control Trysten says remember the “Four Ds” of DEET, Dress, Dusk and Dawn, and Drain.

In addition to that, the health department also makes sure food vendors are safe including restaurants, gas stations and vendors at festivals.

Dave Moore welcomes Elissa Ball with the Pueblo Art Consortium and Andy Sanchez the CEO of the Sangre de Cristo Arts and Conference Center.

On May 10, 2024, the Creative Consortium of Pueblo (CCP) is sponsoring the first Faux-First Friday Art, Food & Drink Crawl. Perfect timing as the Colorado Creative Industries (CCI) annual two-day Summit runs from May 8 to May 10.

Additionally, the First Friday Art Walk events began March 1 and are ongoing.

The First Friday Art Walk is about making art accessible for everyone. Start a self-guided tour of the galleries! FREE admission to all the galleries. This event provides an opportunity to see all of the galleries and experience the amazing work of the artists.

To make transportation between galleries easier, you can catch the Van Gogh Van between 4 and 6 p.m.

You can also catch the van at the Art Center or different places on the route, of course you can still drive yourself to the different locations.

Dave Moore speaks with Riya Singh on the podcast. She is a senior at Pueblo West High School with a bright future. She is involved with the debate team, Future Business Leaders of America, and Youth in Government. Youth and Government is where students take part in a mock government and congress and discuss potential bills and pass laws.

She is also planning a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet the President & other government officials to see the innerworkings of our government even more.

Next Year, she plans to attend Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island to double major in Political Science and Women's Gender & Sexuality Studies.

Her motivation has set her up for a bright future, she says her drive comes from people turning up their nose when she tells them she is from Pueblo. Now she strives to show others parts of the state Pueblo people can be successful and encourage other students they can do that same.
