GO GREEN AT COLORADO EARTH DAY CELEBRATIONS
Saturday. Get a head start on Earth Day, Sunday, April 22, with a celebration only Colorado can throw. From 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the State Capitol, 200 E. Colfax Ave., celebrate the planet with yoga, live music and more. The family-friendly event will kick off with a good stretch and a little centering (that means yoga), an opening ceremony and featured speakers from athletes to politicians. Music will played throughout the day by The Broadcast, Meadow Mountain and Other Black because what better way is there to honor Mother Earth than with a little booty shaking? There’s also a beer garden (because it IS Colorado), and a special kids’ zone to tire out the little ones before heading home. This event is hosted by the Sierra Club; more information at bit.ly/5280EarthDay.
