Weekender

Hooray Weekend!! It is supposed to be a knockout Mile High weekend, weather-wise, Dealers...
So what is fun and frugal around town this weekend?

First - a few family sales I would be remiss not to mention:

3/12- 3/14 - The Denver version of the Just Between Friends sale is this weekend at the National Western Complex, featuring a large selection of resale kids gear and clothing (including infant, baby, and children's equipment, toys, and clothes, and maternity gear) in good condition for great prices. If you are brave enough to wait it out, lots of their sellers drop prices to 1/2 the sale price on Sunday! Get all the info here. (BTW - a reader passed along the Hot Tip that Mile High On the Cheap had early entry coupons, which are like gold -so stop by over there if you are heading out to this one!)

3/13 - MOMS (Mothers of Multiples Society) has there semi-annual M.O.M.S. Sale on Sat. at the Douglas County Events Center, from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Admission is $1. These sales specialize in gently-used baby and children's items including clothes (including maternity wear!), toys, equipment, furniture at prices from half to 90% off what you would pay retail.

3/13 - If you are looking for a less, um, intense sale experience, but still want to score some great deals on recycled items, try the Youth Mission Garage Sale at Montview Church (1980 Dahlia St) this Saturday from 9am - 3pm. This sale is a biggie, and will feature a wide variety of items for the entire family!

3/12 - Join the NEXT Gallery from 6-10pm this evening for the opening reception of Denver artists Jody Chapel and Krista Falenstein. In the main gallery Jody Chapel explores sensory experiences through images of ordinary people and situations. In the Associate gallery Krista Falkenstein uses color and texture to develop a landscape of layers, that create depth and evoke an emotional response. Artists/Opening receptions at local galleries are a great way to get to know artists you might not have experienced, and grow and develop your own style and taste in art (while enjoying new people and complimentary refreshments, usually!)
______________________________
3/13 - Should you be so inclined as to partake in a little Wearin' O The Green, the annual St. Patrick's Day parade winds its way through downtown on Saturday starting at 10am. Bring the family (or break out the beer at 7am - your choice) and choose your spot along the parade route by checking out the website here. But don't pinch me - I hate that.

3/13 Lowes is having a build and grow clinic this Saturday from 10-11 am, where you and your kiddo can work together to "build something special" - this time around it is a tabletop basketball game! Register here to attend at your local store.

3/13 - 9am-2pm -DUH Farmer's Market (go with it Dealers, it will NEVER get old for me.)
______________________________
3/13 - Samantha Robinson's annual Spring Fling Bazzar takes place from Noon - 5pm at the Tennis Pavilion at the Phipps Mansion (on Belcaro in Bonnie Brae) this Saturday. The Spring Fling goes back to the basics of shows with 25 quality artisans, unique products, and affordable prices. It showcases folk art, antiques, hand knit items, unique jewelry, Easter delights, vintage linens, children's clothing, flowers, pottery, papier mache, original artwork, handbags, belts and so much more. Side note - The University of Denver has decided to sell this historic property, so this would be a great excuse for a visit before the new owners take possession.

3/14 - On Sunday morning get up early and head for the Runnin' Of the Green 7k. Cheer on the runners in this race that is a Denver tradition, or be brave and run yourself! Get all the details here.


What else is going on around town that fits the bill? Share it with other Dealers in the comments below, and make it a great weekend!!

*BTW Don't forget that everyone's least favorite way to kill an hour happens early Sunday morning - set your clocks back before bed on Saturday night for Daylight Savings Time. (Boo)*
