 Trek Light Gear
www.TrekLightGear.com / 800-960-1471
Proudly founded in Boulder, Trek Light Gear quickly gained recognition for its brand of lightweight hammocks made with a durable and ultra-comfortable parachute nylon material. In 2007, they introduced the Eco Tote — a compact, reusable bag made with excess hammock materials that packs down small enough to fit on a keychain when it’s not being used. “Everyone finds a use for our products,” says founder Seth Haber. “Camping, sailing, biking, rafting, young or old — we can help you relax, lighten your load and hopefully have a positive impact on the world at the same time.” Find the Trek Light Gear kiosk on the Pearl Street Mall (seasonal) or visit the website at www.TrekLightGear.com.

Wow! What a ride. Back in 1980, we started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, we’re the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in North America and the United Kingdom. What a long, strange trip it’s been. We still honor our original ideals, and we think that has a lot to do with our success. We seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest quality standards in the industry and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture. Add to that the excitement and fun we bring to shopping for groceries, and you start to get a sense of what we’re all about. For our locations in Colorado visit www.wholefoodsmarket.com.

We work extremely hard at creating a relaxed, customer-focused atmosphere at Boulder Hydroponics and Organic Center.
