Governor Jared Polis took a tour around the expo, stopping to meet industry professionals and look at the products.

After five years in Loveland, the NoCo Hemp Expo moved to Denver in 2019, and it brought a full house. Even Governor Jared Polis was in on the action, speaking to a room jammed with hemp business owners before touring the expo hall — and the 250-plus hemp and CBD vendors packed inside. The expo continues March 30.
