Denver County Fair is happening THIS weekend!

As founder of Fashion Denver, I am thrilled to be managing the fashion pavilion at the Denver County Fair.  What an amazing opportunity this is to be surrounded by so many of Colorado’s talented individuals. The fair will be divided up into different pavilions. There will be a holistic health, fashion, fine art, kitchen, and more and within each pavilion there will be a plethora of excitement going on!
