“‘Nature is the most beautiful thing… There’s a universal energy. We should protect nature, because we are nature. I imagine the world as a playground.’ Bet you didn’t think those words would come from a 9-year-old, Dylan Brophy, who freestyles the narration for my new award-winning film, Playgrounds Re-imagined. From the beauty and rawness of the opening scenes, to the fun-filled journey that unfolds across the United States (by way of a Japanese firetruck that runs on veggie oil, aka “Baby”), you are along for a fast-paced ride to celebrate the places we play, and the people who dedicate their lives to protecting them.” – Seth Warren, Playgrounds Re-Imagined.

Saturday, January 14th, 2012RockyGrass Music Festival – Sam Bush, Henna Tattoos and Leave No Trace
Sunday, August 1st, 2010At the end of July, KEEN visited Lyons, Colorado for the 38th Annual RockyGrass Music Festival and the third stop of the Elements “Playgrounds Re-imagined” tour. We donated and sold nearly 200 pairs of Florence and Rockaway flip flops in support of the Bluegrass Foundation. All proceeds were put toward building solar panels so next year the Wildflower Pavilion (on site) will be able to create and store its own energy.
Before the festival was over we were able to get backstage and catch an amazing Sam Bush Band and RockyGrass finale under a beautiful full moon.
