Happy Friday to you all, and I’ll be back here shortly to show you who won the bike this week!
Yes, the official day is here and we biked to work in costume!!!! I counted 66 people on my ride in today. I’m not sure how much more that is than on a normal day, but in 5 miles it seems like a lot to me. We’re all getting very excited here at Fresh Produce because at the end of the week, a cool cruiser bike is being given away to one lucky winner. I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Happy Wednesday everybody! fresh-E
Sweet “mulletude” Will!

I must say, one of the great things about living in Boulder, is the fact that there are hundreds of miles of bike trails, and bike lanes EVERYWHERE! It’s fantastic and makes the morning commute that much more enjoyable. Today kicks off the 2007 Walk & Bike to Work Week - Wednesday is the official “Bike to Work Day” (costumes are encouraged), but we’re celebrating all week long here at Fresh Produce. And those who can’t walk or bike are taking the bus. Here are some quick facts.
Background: Walk & Bike Week is coordinated each June by GO Boulder/city of Boulder. It was first hosted by the city of Boulder in 1977, 30 years ago, as “Bike to Work Day.” As its popularity and sponsorship interest grew so did the event. In 1982, it expanded to Walk & Bike Week. Since 2003, Boulder has coordinated with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) to include Walk and Bike Week in the celebration of Colorado Bike Month as well as to promote Bike to Work Day in the Denver metro region. Boulder continues to add various local touches to the event.
Goal: Increase awareness and use of Boulder’s over 300 miles of award-winning and convenient bike and pedestrian facilities.
Approach: Boulder’s Walk & Bike Week is a partnership of the city, local businesses and the community. From January through June, events are planned that highlight Boulder’s award-winning walking and biking facilities to demonstrate how convenient, easy and cost-efficient it is to walk and bike.
Expectations: Over 4,000 participants are expected to bike or walk on Bike to Work Day, with countless others participating in various events during the week-long event.
Does your city have something like this? If so, tell us about it! We’d love to hear your stories.

Who doesn’t love a good craft? I know I love to express my creativity! It’s so relaxing, fun, and everything you want it to be. What’s even better than a cute craft? A craft with a purpose! That’s why DIY or Do It Yourself is even better!
It’s cheaper than buying the finished product and it looks exactly the way you want!
I’ve come across the one stop shop for all of your summer entertaining needs. Plum Party has summer categorized by every theme imaginable…Throwing a party on July 4th? Click here for everything you might need to add the finishing touches to your soiree. And really, who can resist a good luau? I once hosted a luau for a couples’ bridal shower. It was fabulous, and so much fun to organize!
Have you hosted a themed summer party lately? Be the first to show us your favorite summer party pics and upload them to our flickr photo pool here! We’d love to see them, and if you have any other theme ideas, send them our way - we’re always up for some fun and as always, lots of color!

A warm summer sunset, sitting on the porch, at the beach, or in the grass. It’s the best part of summer. What’s even better during the summer? The sweetest and coolest drinks!
I love relaxing on a warm night with a chilled glass in hand, and good company. Or entertaining my neighbors with bubbly concoctions and great food.

As most of you know, we had a screenprint design contest, with over 400 entries, all inspired from memorable vacations!
Participants had to submit an original piece of artwork that could be developed into a screenprint for Fresh Produce. “My Favorite Vacation” was the theme. Entries came inspired by the ocean, mountains, tropical getaways and memorable moments with the ones they love.
The First Place winner’s design will be sold nationally in Fresh Produce stores with a percentage of profits going to a family and education cause of the winner’s choice.
Our first place winner is Grant Black of Fort Myers, FL!Grant was honeymooning with his wife in San Francisco when the two came across a wonderful Californian Garden. There, Grant’s wife spotted her favorite flower: the daisy. After their perfect vacation, Grant decided to paint this beautiful flower for his favorite person, his wife.
This winning design will be produced on Fresh Produce’s Extra Fresh Tee, Active Crew, and the Long Sleeve Baby Rib Tee. It will be available in colors, Periwinkle, White, Semi Sweet and Sunflower. Our anticipated release of the screenprinted tops is July 2007. So keep a look out, because a percentage of the profits go to Grant’s great cause, the National Children’s Advocacy Center!
And here is where New York City comes in…Last Thursday, the tee with Grant’s design was broadcast on the Reuters Display Board in Times Square! How exciting, and what a great cause!

Half "peach state", half "show me state", I now gladly call Boulder, CO home. I am so excited to be a new member of the FP team and look
forward to sharing news, discoveries, recipes, and random thoughts with you. Here are a few of my favorite things...being outside, riding bikes,
my boyfriend, our dogs (that's Elwood with me in the pic) cooking, crafting, designing, enjoying color, listening to good music, traveling, taking pics,
a great cup of coffee, chocolate (goes without saying really), and just about any adventure that life throws my way!
As one of the youngest at Fresh Produce, everything is so fun and exciting. I love learning about everything Fresh! I want to learn more about you too!
Even though I've been planted almost my whole life in the Colorful Colorado, traveling has been my greatest passion. I love other cultures, places, and meeting new people. I've been to many states in the US and over 5 countries!
Besides meeting new people, and traveling, I also enjoy; art, learning, music, the outdoors, great food, movies, and spending time with my friends! Well of course shopping too..
