By Shannon Robinson, for Denverite
As we dig into September, the soon-to-be-autumn air is enticing -- cooler daytime temperatures that lead us into eventful evenings!
Go watch the Rockies face off with their West Coast rivals from San Diego this weekend. Or enjoy the last few warm breezes of summertime, by going for a spin at SummerSkate at Northfield.
Looking for a new, furry friend? Visit Three Dogs Bakery this weekend to learn about greyhound rescues and potentially help find a dog a fur-ever home.
If you'd rather wind down this weekend, you can learn how to make a traditional Japanese kite this Sunday at Cottonwood Gallery Art.
It's time to take flight, Denverites. The city awaits you!
