Not much culture
-

Las Animas does not offer much in the way of culture. It is developing a new museum. The majority of the few eateries specialize in Mexican food, which can be tiresome after a while. John Martin Reservoir 18 miles east of town offers boating and fishing. There are some wildlife areas designated for hunbting, but it will be prairie type hunting.
There is a lot of artistic talent in a town of this size, but most of it focuses on photography,the easiest to do.
The community is 90 miles from the closest small shopping mall in Pueblo. It is about a two hour drive to the foothills of the Rockies. The town has a golf course and the local community is very tight and inbred and thus newcomers have to find their own connections, usually at a church.
Kids have a chance to compete in varsity sports because the school is small.
