In southern Colorado Looking for an Earth Day Event?

In Colorado Springs, an earth day celebration will be taking place at the Garden of the Gods Park and Visitors Center from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. There will be plenty of interactive tables and booths from a variety of vendors and organizations. Tired of being indoors, then take a stroll through the park if the weather permits. This event is free and open to all.
Looking for free admission?
If you can brave the cold it will be a Free Day at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Highs look to be in the mid 40's in Denver but it is a free day.
Looking for something a little more local and indoors?
