Is anyone else loving the nice weather we’ve been having? If you’re like me and want to spend time outside, consider visiting the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance’s new nighttime exhibit — Glowing Wild.
The 49th Annual Denver March Powwow takes place this weekend and Cirque Italia’s Water Circus is in town. Other happenings include March Madness games at Ball Arena, a used book sale at the Denver Library and the opening of the "Jurassic Oceans: Monsters of the Deep" exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
Whatever you do, make it a great weekend!
