Cherokee Generating Station is a natural gas-fired power plant in Adams County, Colorado, about 5 miles (8.0 kilometers) north of downtown Denver. Cherokee currently has a nameplate capacity of 1006.4 megawatts, and a net summer capacity of 886 megawatts, making it the largest power plant in Adams County, and the second largest natural-gas fired plant in the state behind Fort St. Vrain Generating Station. In 2022, Cherokee output a total of 3.2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, representing roughly 5 percent of total electricity generation in Colorado. Cherokee is composed of four power generating units: one standalone natural gas fired steam turbine, two natural gas fired combustion turbines, and one steam turbine sourcing its heat from the exhaust of the two combustion turbines. This configuration (excluding the independent standalone steam turbine) is known as a combined cycle natural gas power plant. In 2022, the overall thermal efficiency of the steam turbine unit was 31.3%, compared to 43.2% of the combined cycle units. Efforts have been made to reduce the amount of water consumed, most likely from evaporation in the cooling towers. The combined cycle units were constructed in 2015, adding another 625.6 megawatts of nameplate capacity to the steam turbine's 380.8 MW. Prior to 2017, the steam turbine unit was almost entirely powered by coal, however it made the shift to only natural gas that year, and has not burned coal since. The change was partly due to the Clean Air Act of 2010, which had the focus of reducing emissions from coal power plants, however other factors such as the inexpensive price of natural gas and pressure for the state to transition away from coal also played parts.

The National Western Stock Show is an annual livestock show and festival held every January at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado, since 1906. The show’s original purpose was advertised as showings to demonstrate better breeding and feeding techniques to area stockmen; however, it was largely the main showings as a means to attract patrons to the surrounding vendors. The founders included Elias M. Ammons, president of the Colorado Cattle and Horse Growers Association and later governor of Colorado; George Ballentine, general manager of the Denver Union Stock Yard Company; and Fred P. Johnson, publisher of the Record Stockman. Since 1906, it has become the world's largest stock show by the number of animals and offers the world's only carload and pen cattle show. Originally limited to the livestock from the western United States, the show was expanded by 1908 to include entrants from around the world. A horse show was added in 1908, and a rodeo was added in 1931. By 1925, an event for 4-H, the 4-H Roundup, was also held in conjunction with the stock show. By 1981, the organization owned numerous buildings, more than twenty acres of stockyards, several acres of parking, and assets totaling about five million dollars.The stock show is governed by the Western Stock Show Association, a Colorado 501(c)(3) institution, which produces the annual National Western Stock Show in an effort to forward the association's mission: "To preserve the western lifestyle by providing a showcase for the agricultural industry through emphasis on education, genetic development, innovative technology and offering the world's largest agricultural marketing opportunities". Proceeds from the National Western Stock Show go to the National Western Scholarship Trust. The Trust awards 64 scholarships annually to students studying agriculture and medicine at colleges and universities in Colorado and Wyoming. The horse shows at the annual National Western Stock Show are among the largest in the world with more than 18,000 entries at the 2006 event.
