bbq= good, but CO beer.... pure heaven!
This sounds like a great event. I may have to trek over to the West Slope.
You could just come out to Parker this weekend... You live in Denver don't you?
Too expensive! If it's like last time, the entry fee just gets you in... you then wait in endless lines to pay for beer and food.
Got something to say?
