Co-op Project Day

My husband is involved with the Fort Collins Bike Co-op, a local non-profit.  The Co-op provides used and abandoned bikes to some local charities and the Ghana Bike Project.   Just to name a few of their other services: volunteers educate the public on bike safety and mechanics, provide bike valet service for city events, sell re-conditioined bikes and manage an earn-a-bike program.

My daughter and I have been working on signs designed for the Co-op to use when at events for some positive publicity and, hopefully, to generate more interest and donations.  I think we went through a gallon of puffy paint :-)

Labor Day weekend will find Co-op volunteers manning many areas of New Belgium's annual Tour de Fat - we will be selling t-shirts, checking ID's, pouring beer, parking bikes and floating around to make sure everyone is having a fun and safe day.  If you come down, don't forget your costume!
