Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
He's the Canuck king of duct tape, the far-north fixture of fix-it, and he may not be handsome, but he is handy. He's Steve Smith, of course, otherwise known as Red Green, the suspender-wearing star of The Red Green Show, the maple leaf's much funnier answer to Home Improvement. Tomorrow, Smith appears in Denver on his "Wit and Wisdom Tour," his standup show in the Red Green persona -- but today, in advance of that appearance, Smith shows up for a free meet and greet with fans at -- where else? -- a hardware store.
From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Smith will be at Green Mountain Ace Hardware, 12035 West Alameda Parkway in Lakewood, hanging out and chatting with fans -- and if you care for an autograph, you're in luck: He'll be signing duct tape.
How well you use that duct tape will be up to you.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
