Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Where's the beef? It was at Denver's poshest hotels this morning. An annual tradition of the National Western Stock Show took place once again as the Grand Champion steer was lead into the lobby of the Brown Palace Hotel while onlookers enjoyed tea service. Remi, the winner, and Moses, the Reserve Grand Champion, got the royal treatment among rodeo queens and respected ranchers, proving that after more than 70 years of mingling with the livestock, Denverites are still proud of their cow-town roots.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
