Jared Polis Becomes a Rock Star at NoCo Hemp Expo

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.
