Thursday, November 19th
Avogadros Number, 605 S. Mason in Fort Collins
6 - 10 pm
Local performers concerned about the proposed uranium mining in Weld County have joined forces for a Campfire Concert to call attention to what may become a threat to our water, our environment, and our way of life. Some of Fort Collins finest musicians, singers, songwriters and bands will perform at the concert.
The local performers join a long list of opponents to Canadian mining company Powertech's proposed uranium mine in northern Colorado. The City of Fort Collins, the Larimer County Medical Society, the Colorado Medical Society, the League of Women Voters of Larimer County, and the Towns of Nunn, Greeley, Wellington, Ault and Timnath have signed resolutions against the proposed project. They have been joined by over 12,000 individuals and local businesses who have signed similar resolutions and petitions against uranium mining.

Boulder Buy Local Week
Saturday - Sunday, November 28th - December 6th
Boulder
Last year Coloradoans spent $12.7 billion during the holidays, which represents a huge chunk of $ for retailers. And since money spent at locally owned businesses reciruclates at least three times more in our community, where you spend your money really does matter.
A shift of just 10% of your purchases toward local retailers means more people are getting a paycheck, paying their rent, and getting what they need from other local businesses.
This event will bring together local business owners, community leaders and lovers of all things local to kick off the campaign and enjoy local food and music. The event (hosted by Swallow Hill) will start with a reception, include a great live auction of local fun-ness to benefit the work of MHBA and finish with performances by local musicians Cliff Eberhardt and Chris Daniels.
Kickoff Event: Swallow Hill 71 East Yale Avenue Denver, CO
6:00 - 7:00 pm - Free reception with local food, complementary drinks and an opportunity to network with local businesses
7:00 - 7:30 - Live auction (featuring items from local businesses) to benefit the Mile High Business Alliance's work to build a healthier local economy
7:30 - Dessert in cafe; doors open for Cliff Eberhardt and Chris Daniels
