The Poudre Valley Green Party is pleased to announce its (mostly) annual Red White Blue and Green Party on Monday, July 4, from 3-7 pm at Avogadro’s Number, 605 S. Mason St., Fort Collins, CO. The Poudre Valley Greens are even more pleased to announce the event’s headliners – Fort Collins favorites Liz Barnez and John Magnie of the Subdudes/3 Twins!
This alternative Independence Day celebration features musical acts including The Gremlins (winners of last year’s City Talent Show at Everyday Joe’s), speakers, a Silent Auction to benefit Fort Collins Ranked Voting, presentation of the 2011 Green Giant Awards, great Avo’s food, beer and other beverages. Escape the summer heat on the cool back patio of Avo’s before heading out to City Park for the fireworks.
The Green Giant awards honor local individuals and organizations who embody the Ten Key Values of the Green Party such as Ecological Wisdom, Social Justice, Grassroots Democracy and Nonviolence. Past winners include such local luminaries as the late Peace Corps founder Maury Albertson, state representatives Randy Fischer and John Kefalas, Gailmarie Kimmel, Cheryl Distaso, John “The Worm Man” Anderson, Gina Janett, Professor Norberto Valdez, and organizations like Save the Poudre, Coloradoans Against Resource Destruction, and New Belgium Brewery.
Suggested donation is $5 per person. Further details will be announced as they become available. For more information, call Eric at 970-214-4548.
