HEMP HEALS MUSIC FESTIVAL
Philadelphia Fever with Riles Cote
I met Riles Cote before he set this event in motion, Hempy to be a small part of his-story too.
PhillyVoice -Inquirer
"If you walk around to all the tents and the vendors, you’ll see a lot of the different faces of cannabis and hemp," Cote said. "You’ll see hemp clothing, skin and hair products, hemp paper, you’ll see a guy from Lancaster who sells a hemp pretzel. He calls them Hempzels. .

2012 We are Pysched
Meeting Riles Cote at my LTH HQ's in Columbia, PA was where the adventure began. We discussed his vision called Hemp Heals Music Festival and would I like to participate? heck yeah! I made some phone calls to Les Stark, Byrn Gohn and my other buddies to get the word out in the hemp community that I personally knew.
Les was so excited & encouraged me to make a clip of this - we hope you enjoy it - My His-story, hempy to have been involved in a small part..

2014 Riles With Uke
Uke Washington Philadelphia Channel 3 interviews Riles Cote about the 3rd annual Hemp Heals Music Festival. Education is the key.. Riles remembered to give us a shout out. Thank you Buddy!
2016 Philadelphia Voice
"If you walk around to all the tents and the vendors, you’ll see a lot of the different faces of cannabis and hemp. You’ll see hemp clothing, skin and hair products, hemp paper, you’ll see a guy from Lancaster who sells a hemp pretzel. He calls them Hempzels. So it’s also inspiring young entrepreneurial minds and giving them a tool and a resource to use in a different, innovative and eco-friendly way."
The money from the event -- the festival raised $8,000 last year -- goes toward educating people about the uses and benefits of hemp, like the workshop they held last year to teach around 20 local builders how to build with HempCrete, a natural building material.
Hemp Heals Concrete
I caputured the moment at another event Riles Held in 2015 to raise the awareness of Hemp Concrete - so it was advertised, I came up to set up the booth & Hempzelize the attendees - I think it worked.
