The fair offers a variety of programming, including a demonstration from the Aspen-based Earth Force Climate Command at the entrance through the duration of the event. The group of creatives—led by artist Ajax Axe—plans to place an Earth Pod mobile unit on site while group members hand out Colorado wildflower seed bombs, encouraging fairgoers to join their group and pledge to care for the planet.
