Cavalcade is made up of a group of people who are dedicated to giving you:
a space to think, a place to experience and participate in high quality music, the opportunity to sew with friends, the chance to see art in new ways, a safe place to step into the world of crafting, and above all a place to be inspired and learn.

Michelle Cools
Creator of "Ones"....seamstress....crafter.
I have created a line of one-of-a-kind clothing and accessories made with vintage and recycled materials. I believe in making what you can yourself by using resources that are already available, creating a more self-sufficient society and less of a need for manufacturing. I would like to express this by sharing the knowledge of my craft with anyone willing to learn through Open Crafting, workshops and Individual Sewing Lessons. email: michelle@cavalcadefruita.com | Cullen Purser

Cullen is constanly seeking the common thread between History, Philosophy, and his own Observations. It is through this search that Cullen has created these events:Cullen Purser's Cavalcade of Interesting People, Intellectures, Deep Tea, and the Revival of How. Cullen is also a contributor to Cavalcade's monthly Variety Show.

Sam Benham
Sam has been a tinkerer for as long as he can remember.
If it's mechanical, he can fix it. He's also a guitar player and all-around great dad. Sam is currently leading the Tinker Project Series and Open Mic Sundays. He also teaches guitar lessons and records local musicians at Cavalcade. To sign up for guitar lessons or to find out about recording, please call 970-858-9632 or email: sam@cavalcadefruita.com | Ken Kreie
Ken is a lifelong Valley resident who has settled in Fruita, CO with his family. He is a mad scientist by paycheck, and a creative wise-cracker when off the clock (usually on the clock as well). He has an eclectic taste and an intuitive eye. Ken also has a great ability to seek out hidden talent that others might miss. Ken will find
the beauty in a painting that has been overlooked by many and encourage a musician that no one else has taken the time to notice. This is why he is perfect for coordinating concerts and shows that will be hosted at Cavalcade. In addition, Ken plans to resurrect the Comedy Club. email: ken@cavalcadefruita.com |
