The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Commission is looking for volunteers to come out on Saturday and clear the parade route of litter. If you can help out, be at the MLK monument in City Park at 1 p.m. or contact Jacqui Shumway at (303) 844-8686.
The actual Marade (that’s March & Parade) will start next Monday, January 21, at 8:30 a.m. at the monument, proceeding down Colfax to the State Capitol. The Holiday Commission is seeking donations of old cell phones (which will be refurbished and provided to women’s shelters) and nonperishable food (which will be given to food banks). And the festivities will wind up on Monday night at the African American Heritage Rodeo of Champions, getting underway at 6 p.m. at the National Western Stock Show arena. Tickets run from $13 to $35; information at (303) 373-1246.
