I've always wanted to go to denver, but with all this good food I'm worried I'd end up gaining weight
Actually Colorado is at the very top of the list for the healthiest people in the US. I think it's all the blue skies and sunshine.. You just can sit indoors all day, it beacons you outside!!
This is great! Some of my fav. restaurants will be there. Getting hungry just looking at the list :)
You know, I think I gained weight just reading about the restaurants participating in The Taste of Douglas County. LOL.
I am sitting here cooking dinner ... reading about restaurants ... this is so wrong. I'm starving! This sounds really yummy!
This is a great event, although I probably gained weight just reading about this...taste testing all these places...wow...the list just seems to go on and on. This has to be a great turn out.

WoW! that's a lot of restaurants and a very reasonable price! We have events such as this, but usually it costs $40 to $50 per person!
Now I have my list, thanks!
