Pueblo Public Library

Lamar Public Library hosts space exhibit

Would you like to learn more about space? Here is your opportunity. The library has four interactive kiosks on loan from the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado until September. The institute is a leader in developing space-themed traveling exhibits that help teach, and entertain as well. The exhibits on loan include information about space storms, space exploration, and interactive displays that help individuals learn about our solar system and another with different games.

The arrival of the exhibits helped the library combine the end of the Summer Reading Program (SRP) with a special program on our solar system and a star gazing party that was held on July 11. Mike Bosley grew up in Lamar, and is currently a professor at CSU Pueblo and teaches Astronomy. During the program he included fun facts about our solar system and each planet. To end the program he made a mock representation of each planet in the solar system using different sized round objects and Lamar children, and each child who wanted to had an opportunity to look in his high powered telescope at solar sun spots. At 8:30 p.m. he came back to the parking lot at the east end of the library and approximately 50 adults and children were able to see the moon and Saturn before clouds blocked out any opportunity for further star gazing and ended a successful Summer Reading Program for the library.

Impossible Players

The Impossible Players is a community theatre group in the truest sense of the word, we are made up of people from every profession and stage of life, and the only requirement is a love of theatre! Some of our members have stayed for only a show or a season, while some are representing a third generation of involvement .  Every one is an “Imp” for life!

Our productions reflect the situations and emotions that exist in our community, sometimes evoking laughter, sometimes tears, but hopefully we will always entertain you. The community that is live theatre is completed by our audience!  You give us the reason and the resources to exist!It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the 1960′s. A group of Puebloans were bitten by the acting bug and sought healing through performance. They started out modestly, getting together to read plays, but soon realized that they wanted more – a stage and an audience. Everyone said that their dream was “impossible” but by 1966 they had space above a store on South Main Street (just a fire escape and alley away from the Irish Pub – which is another story entirely) and started it all with a production of “My Three Angels”. In the past 44 years The Impossible Players have performed on many stages; starting at our first Main Street theatre, then Dolph and Ottie Otterstein gave us a home at the Otterstein Showroom on Oneida until the Spring of 1990. We spent a delightful season at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center until our move in the fall of 1991 to Hoag Theatre at Pueblo Community College and at last, a final move in the summer of 2003 to our home at 1201 North Main Street-The Impossible Playhouse!
