Weekender - 1/22 - 1/24

WOO HOO WEEKEND!!!
Need I really say more?

What's up around town this weekend?

1/22 - Want to be a part of something that is about as "Denver" as you can get? Head over to high tea (or just to mingle in the lobby) at the Brown Palace from 11am - 1pm today and say hello to this year's National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Steer. Watch his furry self chug water from a silver bowl, get your picture taken with the prize specimen, and marvel at what (at least I hope) will be the closest example you will ever find in real life to a bull in a china shop.

1/22 - Ready to get downtown and mix it up? Young or just feeling young-at-heart and ready to party hearty on the cheap? Market Street's newest addition celebrates it's grand opening tonight (1437 Market St) with two of my favorite words: Open Bar. The party is in full swing from 9:30pm-2:00am. Check out the FB invite here.

1/23 - Is junior a tic-tac-toe champ? Burning through scrap paper with all of those Xs and Os? The Lowes Build and Grow clinic this week has the perfect answer (and a fun way to spend an hour on Saturday morning, too.) Register here for you and the kiddo to build your own wooden tic-tac-toe board at area Lowes Home Improvement Centers on Saturday, from 10 - 11am.

1/23 - Hanker for a hunka meat after your Build and Grow lets out? Well every Saturday from 11am - 4pm, kids eat free with a paying adult at Lone Star Steak houses. MMMM, steak... (with apologies to the aforementioned Grand Champion Steer, natch.) It never hurts to call the location you are heading for to double-check participation, BTW.

1/23 - Looking to celebrate frugality of a more adult variety? I can't think of anything more appropriate than a free art exhibit featuring PBR (yes folks - Pabst Blue Ribbon) as the subject. What is more frugal than every one's favorite SUPER cheap happy hour special? The show happens at Illiterate Magazine, beginning at 6pm on Saturday (82 South Broadway, Denver 80209) Seriously - how freaking awesome is that? See their website for more info.

1/22-1/24 - I've said it before and I will say it again: Every day until the Colorado History Museum moves to the new location, admission is FREE. Also, Allen's True West is the current exhibit and it looks awesome. What a perfect way to round out your Western Weekend (after all that cow greeting and eating, of course) GO TO THE MUSEUM. See the website here for hours, etc.

Those are some fun and frugal highlights. I will update as I hear more.
Happy Weekend, Dealers!
