Sustainable Living Fair draws greenies in Fort Collins
In case you couldn’t make it to the Sustainable Living Fair in Fort Collins this weekend, the Coloradoan has a little slice of the sustainable fair action posted on its site:

About 30 people watched a local food cook-off featuring Sarah Tomsic from Drive-By Diner in Fort Collins and Jason Shaeffer, chef at Chimney Park Restaurant and Bar in Windsor.
Each had to prepare three dishes in 60 minutes using ingredients that came from within 300 miles of Fort Collins.
Both prepared dishes using spicy peppers, fresh fruit, beets and pork.
The Sustainable Living Fair photo gallery buries the needle on the that’s-adorable meter, too.
If you want in on the action, the Rocky Mountain Sustainable Living Association offers workshops year-round. Some of the current selections include cheesemaking, native plant propagation and grid-tied photovoltaics.
