Peak Radar and the COPPeR office are busier than ever with a summer jammed packed with activities. My hope is that this blog will provide both verbal and visual insight into some of the many cultural events we promote on our comprehensive calendar, in order to keep them on all of your (peak)radars for the next time they occur in the community!
As the newest member of the COPPeR team, serving as the Community Arts Development Specialist and Colorado College Public Interest Fellow for the next year, I have taken it upon myself to attend as many events occurring in the community as possible and to report back. Wish me luck!
First up we have one of the most incredible summer resources our community offers: fresh farmer's markets almost every day of the week.
One of my favorites is the Colorado Farm and Art Market, held every Wednesday at the Ivywild School and on Saturdays at The Margarita at Pine Creek. Not only are vendors present to offer a range of fresh edible products, but local artists are also welcome to sell their works. Below are a few pictures from this past Saturday's market.

Our farmers markets are not only a great, sunny weekend activity for the family, but they are an incredible way to support our local economy and to reduce your environmental footprint. Don't miss out on everything our community has to offer!
Until next time,
Lila
