Obama holding rally in Pueblo

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle will host a "Change We Need Rally" Saturday in Pueblo.
Tickets are not required for the public rally which starts at 3 p.m. Gates open at 1 p.m.

Space is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The rally will be in the heart of the Union Avenue Historic District at the intersection of South Union Ave. and D Street.

The public entrance is at the corner of C and south Main streets

There will be limited downtown parking in lots and on streets.

Public transportation is encouraged. Bus tickets are $1 for adults and 75 cents for students.

But it might be a long walk back.

"The last bus leaving downtown is 5 or 5:30 p.m., so if this rally lasts longer than that there might not be bus service to get back," said Judy Kagey of the Pueblo transit service.
