The History Of The Smith Center

The Smith Center is a performing arts center in Las Vegas, Nevada, that was founded with the idea that Vegas should be able to take part in the international arts scene. The founders wanted to compete with the established centers in places like San Francisco and New York City. Performing arts of all types were considered, including singing, dancing, musical performances, and much more. The center's goal ever since has been to attract the very best in each of these arenas. 

The Smith Center has also acted as a hub for culture in the community. The large crowd that it draws is composed of people from the local neighborhoods and from the rest of the country and the world, but the local emphasis is very clear and strong. History has shown that the arts can make a community close and vibrant, and the center has provided these qualities. It only opened in 2012, but it has already been appreciated as a public building because it gives those who admire the arts a way to see the most talented acts without having to leave Las Vegas.

With acts like Doc Severinsen & The San Miguel Five and Bryan Adams on the schedule, the future of the Smith Center looks to be very bright indeed. It is a state-of-the-art facility, which enables it to attract high-class talent even though it does not have the years' of established history of other centers. It promises to be a culture landmark for decades to come.

Broncos Prep for Critical Two-Game Stretch

Nothing could make fans with Broncos tickets happier than witnessing Denver dismantle archrival Oakland at home in Week Four, and QB Peyton Manning introduced himself into the rivalry with his most successful game as a Bronco. The four time MVP passed for 338 yards and three touchdowns without an interception, and spread the ball around to eight different receivers on the day. The defense was also fantastic against the Raiders, limiting them to 237 total yards. With a 2-2 record through September, Denver is still primed to make a postseason run.

The Broncos now face the most difficult portion of their schedule, as they have to go on the road to face both the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers in consecutive weeks before their bye in Week Seven. The game in New England will mark the first time the two teams have met since the postseason last year, when the Pats dismantled the Broncos 45-10. It also marks the 13th meeting between Manning and Patriots’ QB Tom Brady, as the two have had a number of epic duels throughout their careers. Brady has gotten the best of Manning more often than not, but the Broncos are much improved from a season ago, while New England has had a number of struggles in 2012. This game could also be a preview of a playoff matchup in a couple months, so it is an important one for the Broncos to focus on. While the game in New England carries a lot of meaning, the game against the Chargers is even more crucial because it is a matchup of the best two teams in the AFC West. The Chargers have raced out to a 3-1 record through the first month of the season, including victories over divisional foes Oakland and Kansas City, and appear to be the team that the Broncos have to worry about in the division. A loss to the Chargers could leave the Broncos several games back in the standings, which would be more difficult to make up later in the season. Manning and Co. should be more than ready for their visit to San Diego, and expect the team to put their best effort into taking down the Chargers in Week Six.

Pueblo And The Colorado State Fair Continue To Enrich The State

Pueblo, Colorado was once a humble trading post.  Its name is derived from a structure that a trapper and trader erected, known as El Pueblo.  El Pueblo's construction in 1842 seems to be a foreshadowing of an annual tradition that is more than 140 years strong and still going. The Colorado State Fair has brought trade, people, culture and entertainment to the city of Pueblo just as the town's historic structure and namesake did, 30 years prior to the Fair's start.

Starting the 3rd Thursday of September and running until the 1st Sunday in August since 1872 the Colorado State fair brings an added flavor to the city of Pueblo, Colorado's vibrant cultural prospects.  Just as many state fairs in the United States are deeply rooted in agriculture, so to Colorado's.  Rodeo and livestock shows are staples of the fair as well as other agricultural happening. Music, arts, and crafts are exhibited during the fairs run representing and displaying both local and world artists. The rides and smells of the midway only make the entertainment factor of the fair the more enjoyable.

The Fair's end every year does not mean the end of the venues viability. It just allows other uses of the venue.  Parties, trade shows, concerts, and sporting events can all be accommodated by the fairs many pavilions and its auditorium. The American Furniture Warehouse Amphitheatre offers an intimate venue for all types of fine arts productions. Boasting a seating capacity of nearly 8,000 the Southwest Motors Event Center and the Budweiser Rodeo Arena's capacity of nearly 11,000, the fair is able to offers a venue for nearly any event.

The Colorado State Fair has grown immensely since its conception. Just as the city has grown from a single structure to become one of the most populous cities in Colorado, so has the fair. The fair and Pueblo itself, complements the other in offering the state a number of diverse cultural and enriching opportunities.
