“InSTEM” stands for “Inspired by Nature STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).” The new facility will not only enable the center to provide water and natural resource educational opportunities, but also help inspire visitors to continue to preserve and protect the Cache la Poudre River – for generations to come. Pulse of the Poudre Chuckwagon Ever wish you could explore the roots of Greeley’s history through the eyes of a chuckwagon “Cookie”? Learn how to rope a steer? Enjoy traditional prairie meals – including “whistle berries” (AKA cowboy beans)? Every Wednesday evening during July and August, Pulse of the Poudre offers all of the above – as well as music by Vic Anderson, internationalchampion yodeler and whistler with authentic old west cowboy music. Dinner is served by local 4-H members who are raising money for a Washington, D.C. trip. “It’ll be fun for the whole family,” promises Tschillard.
