2020 The Lost Year
Pueblo County Democrats, like other County Democrats throughout Colorado, carried on essential activities despite the COVID-19 pandemic. But there were some events that had to be foregone, including the St. Patrick's Dinner in 2021. And the award presentations, usually held at that event for the previous year's work, had to be suspended until next year.
