Celebrate the Fourth — With Art!

June 26, 2009 in Art & Antiques, Events, Mountain Living, Out & About by Caroline | 1 comment

What better way to pass the summer hours (and the holiday weekend) than by enjoying beautiful art outdoors? If you’re near the Mile High City over the Fourth of July, swing by the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, which takes place in a Denver hot spot–the Cherry Creek North Merchant District–from July 3-5. It’s the Festival’s 19th annual celebration of visual, culinary and performing arts, and as one of Colorado’s most anticipated summer festivities, the tour de fine arts draws 35,000 people to its grounds year after year. And don’t forget to stop by and visit us at the Mountain Living booth! For more information, visit cherryarts.org.

Door to Door Organics–a Colorado-based company that delivers fresh, organic fruits and vegetables to its customers’ doorsteps each week–is back with their "All Local" Colorado box. During its debut last season, the box was a "huge hit," says company founder David Gersenson. And it’s no wonder why: inside, find an assortment of fresh goodies–all locally harvested–including peaches, cherries, melons, apples, spinach, corn and peppers. Depending on your appetite, go for the "Bitty" ($23.66) or the "Small" ($33.66). Mouth starting to water?
