Here’s a quick reminder to mark your calendar for next Tuesday’s welcoming rally at North High School. August 21 is the first day of school, and the first day of a new era at North. Join the ceremonies from 7 to 7:30 a.m. and show the incoming students and faculty that the entire Northwest Denver community is behind them. Judy will be in attendance, along with other members of Council and officials from the City and the Denver Public Schools.
Another event you should know about: Platte Street merchants will host the 3d annual Summer Stroll this Saturday, August 18, beginning at noon. It’s an old-fashioned street fair with sidewalk sales, street performers, food carts, musicians, and plain old people-watching. The event wraps up with a screening of The Blues Brothers in the Vitamin Cottage parking lot (15th and Platte) at about 8:30 p.m.
Hope to see you at one or both of these events.
