Recycled Art Market

Sunday, June 10 - Bring a piece of the conference back home with you! The Recycled Art Market offers jewelry, home décor, beautiful artwork and other unique items made from repurposed materials. Artists from around the region will showcase reuse as another solution to waste.

Here's why you should attend the Summit:

Having the Summit in Pueblo provides us such a great opportunity to experience parts of the state we have not visited often, and most importantly a great opportunity to see manufacturing plants such as Vestas and Evraz. These businesses play a tremendous part in the closed loop of recycling in Colorado and I am thrilled to be able to visit their facilities. .
-- Michelle Kincheloe, CAFR Summit Planning Committee Chairperson

The beauty of the plains, rivers and distant mountains is waiting for you in southern Colorado! We are delighted to host the CAFR Summit, and can’t wait to show off our recycling enthusiasm and warm hospitality. Bienvenidos A Pueblo!
-- Susan Finzel-Aldred, CAFR Board Member and Host Committee Chair

I fondly remember our whole family going to a service club conference with my father in the late ‘60s and touring the steel mill. What an eye opener for a child – plus I found a charm bracelet at the conference center! I’m looking forward to seeing Pueblo again with adult eyes. And, of course, I always love the Summit no matter where it’s held.
