And just like that February has come and gone. Good news, though -- it's the first Friday of the month, which means First Friday Art Walks in the Santa Fe Art District and a First Friday Pop Up Art Gallery at The Source Hotel.
This weekend is also the start of Denver Restaurant Week and Danielle SeeWalker's 'But We Have Something to Say' exhibit at History Colorado. There's even a Gluten Free Winter Market taking place in Aurora.
Whatever you get up to, make it a great weekend!
