The second year of the NoCo
Hemp Expo promises to be big, according to Morris Beegle with Colorado
Hemp Company and the organizer of the expo.
In 2014, the event was at a club in Windsor. The expo had 15-20 vendors, speakers and live music.
"We sold out. Everyone really thought it was a great event and the goal this year is to take it to the next level," Beegle said.

Here are three highlights from the second annual NoCo Hemp Expo schedule:
- Author Doug Fine.
A leading contemporary hemp academic and lifestyle practitioner, Fine
is promoting his latest book, “First Harvest: Game on for the Hemp
Industry.” The book is being printed on hemp-composite paper.
- Hemp sports car. As part of Renew Sports Cars’ goal
to create 100 percent carbon-neutral automobiles, the Florida company
is building vehicles with hemp composite frames that also run on hemp
ethanol. Its rebuilt 1997 Miata will be on display at the expo.
- Hemp artists. Muralist Tommy Nahulu — well known
for painting a beloved Johnny Cash mural on the east side of the bar at
314 E. 13th Ave., which stood there from shortly after the iconic Man in
Black died in 2003 until that watering hole changed ownership and
underwent rebranding in 2012 — will be among the artists painting or
sketching on hemp canvas during the expo.
“If you’re interested in hemp and want to find out what you make with it and do with it,” Beegle says, “this is your event.”
Tickets for the second annual NoCo Hemp Expo start at $15 at nocohempexpo.com.
