SUMMARY:Join us for a Nuclear-Free Pueblo Day of Action on October 25th!
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, Pueblo County Commissioners have been considering putting a nuclear power plant in Pueblo to replace the Unit 3 Coal plant. This is a dangerous idea for many reasons. \nPueblo’s County Commissioners\, as well as city and state elected representatives of Pueblo\, need to hear that nuclear power is not the right choice for Colorado. This is why we are working in coalition with our friends in Pueblo to make sure this nuclear proposal does not move forward. \nJoin us in Pueblo on Saturday\, October 25th for a full day of action!

SUMMARY:Concrete Couchella

Unsurprisingly\, kids are surprisingly talented :). We have seen amazing\, dancers\, singers\, poets\, gymnasts\, comics and more.

(Keep an eye out for the 40 upcoming dates throughout 2025 and 2026 at CONCRETECOUCH.ORG). \nEveryone is encouraged to participate. Contest entry is one ticket per sesh. \nTo join the contest\, just find a judge (they will be dressed distinctively)\, give them a carnival ticket for each sesh you want to support. They will give you a racing bib (if you don’t already have one)\, and write down your bib # on the clipboard for each sesh you’ve signed up for. NOTE: You can sign up at any point. You don’t need to participate for an entire session to be considered. \nDuring each sesh\, our esteemed\, and highly qualified judge(s) will be circulating with clipboard(s) in hand\, making note of the particulars of how each DANCELYMPIAN translates the music from groves into moves. \nFor this installment\, dancers will be observed and acknowledged in two categories: Style and Endurance. \nStyle = Any style is a good style\, whether it’s a memorized routine\, or completely improvised. No rules. Just decorate your space with movement. \nEndurance = Can anyone dance for an entire set? We’ll find out!

Kids and adults are welcome to build lanterns at the lantern-making-station throughout the event and then disco-march during the evening parade. \n1 pm – 6 pm Lantern Making at the Lantern Making Station \n6:15 pm Sunset \n7:15 pm Gather ye paradelings (That’s You) !!! \n7:30 pm Patchwork Jack begins to play \n7:35 ish pm (at start of 2nd PJ song) Lantern Parade!! \nFundraising \nBefore The Event – Help us pack this next year with awesome free Concrete Couch programs\, events\, and public art builds\, by participating in our Online digital donations campaign. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/peer-to-peer/couchella \nYou can either donate as an individual\, or start/join a fundraising team!

Raffle tickets will be the same price as all the other tickets $5. We will have drawings at each musical set change\, so enter early and often\, to ensure you maximize your odds! Silent auction table will require bids\, top bidder at the end of the event will be the winner! Interesting prizes that we know of so far are 1 room from Kinship Landing\, a dope bike from Wheel Good BMX\, and a Plant Communion Fragrance from ROOTFOOT.COM (Natural Fragrances by Laura Huth). More to come! \nDisc Golf Tourney  \nDid you know that there’s a 9 hole Disc Golf Course on Concrete Coyote Community Park? Well\, yep…there is! And at COUCHELLA on 10/18/2025\, we’re going to put you through it. It’s a challenging course\, so we recommend that you come hydrated and properly stretched. It’s important to never underestimate the importance of proper stretching in and hydration! Fee to enter is two tickets aka $10. Winner gets a prize and/or a handshake and heartfelt congratulations from incoming Concrete Couch Executive Direct\, Dustin Huth. Could be something cooler though. Potential sponsors email giving@concretecouch.org \nWait…..This Sounds Awesome And All\, But What Is This Concrete Couch Thing That We’Re Raising Money For? \nGood question! In short\, Concrete Couch’s mission is to build community through Creative Projects. In practice that means we are installing public art sculptures and murals on any surface that will hold still long enough to let us slap some mosaic tiles on it. And when I say us\, I mean you. Because YOU -put the YOUNITY in COMM-YOU-NITY. Is that too much? Probably. Suffice to say\, every project we do\, is in collaboration with our community on some level. We are here to teach skills\, and get people working together. Would it be easier to just go off and build stuff on our own\, with our fleet of highly skilled artists? Of course. But for us\, the most beautiful part of the art is not the art itself\, but the moments and the friendships created as a result of the collaborative process of building art together. If you know an organization or entity that understands this value\, please connect us. We would love to help beautify and build community together!

SUMMARY:Volunteer (More Dates Available)
DESCRIPTION:Call Rick at 719-233-6725 to discuss opportunities. \nOnline Work Party on Oct 1\, 15\, 22 or 29. A facilitator guides us as we call our local governments so we can report back on solar permitting costs. The goal is to find out how the US might be able to cut rooftop solar costs. Some reports say rooftop solar is 3X more expensive in the US than Australia. Use the link at the bottom of this page to see “Smart Solar Work Party” options. \nOutreach Volunteer: Help our various groups with events like Sun Day. We will provide the basic information you need. It is a lot easier than you think and very important to our efforts! \nDo you have specific skills\, connections or interests? Let us know.

SUMMARY:Cool Science / CRES - Interactive Microgrid\, Fuel Cell/Battery\, Solar Oven\, etc.
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Renewable Energy Society – Southestern Chapter returns to the Cool Science Carnival Day with a booth and activities! This is one of many booths with activities primarily for grades K-8\, but microgrids and fuel cells may interest adults as well! \nThe event and parking are free. No need to register. \nBooth Location:\nOur booth will be located in front of the UCCS Library\, near the Mountain Lion Statue. \nActivities & Demonstrations at the SECRES Booth:\nWe are planning several interactive STEM exhibits that showcase sustainable energy technologies and their real-world applications: \n1. Microgrid Prototype\nA small-scale working model of a microgrid\, to demonstrate how multiple energy sources (solar\, battery storage\, and hydrogen fuel cells) can work together to power a mini “community.” \nEducational Focus: \n\nHow distributed energy systems work\nImportance of grid resilience and energy independence\nReal-world applications in remote or disaster-prone areas\n\n2. Fuel Cell & Battery Integration Demo\nThis setup will show how hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity and how energy can be stored in batteries for later use. \nEducational Focus: \n\nZero-emission energy generation\nThe role of hydrogen in future energy systems\nStorage and load-balancing challenges in renewable energy\n\n3. Solar-Powered Car Demonstration\nA functioning mini solar car will be available for kids and adults to see in action. Attendees can learn about how solar panels generate electricity to power small motors. \nEducational Focus: \n\nBasics of photovoltaic technology\nSolar energy as a clean transportation fuel\nHands-on fun for kids\, with simple science explanations\n\n4. Solar Oven Display\nWe will have a solar oven set up to show how sunlight can be harnessed for cooking. Depending on the weather\, we may even do a live demo with simple items (like melting chocolate or warming snacks). \nEducational Focus: \n\nSolar heating\nEnergy conservation in daily life\n\nThese activities are designed to be engaging for all ages while sparking curiosity about clean energy and sustainability. \nDraws to the Booth: \n\nInteractive\, hands-on STEM activities\nReal-world applications of green energy technology\nFriendly student and faculty volunteers\nEducational giveaways\n\nWe’re still looking for volunteers to help staff the CRES booth throughout the event. SECRES is also in need of additional volunteers to help with our fall programming. Email Derek Law (d.law@cres-energy.org) if you are interested.

SUMMARY:Creek Week Cleanup 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Fountain Creek Watershed needs helping hands!\nIt’s common for trash and debris to end up in waterways – clogging drainage systems\, impacting wildlife\, affecting water quality\, and ruining the view of our natural landscapes. \nBe part of the largest watershed-wide clean-up in the state of Colorado! Creek Week volunteers clean up litter along a creek\, trail\, park\, or open space throughout the watershed. We’re inviting individuals and groups (families\, clubs\, schools\, neighborhoods\, etc.) to form a Creek Crew. Get outdoors\, get active\, and get busy creating positive change for your community and those living downstream. \nHow to get involved\nCreek Week cleanups happen across the watershed—from Palmer Lake to Pueblo—over nine action-packed days of service and stewardship! \nWhether you’re ready to lead a cleanup or simply want to lend a hand\, there’s a role for everyone.
