Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Another change that must be made to the annual gathering to appeal to contemporary audiences and sell more tickets....
Embrace Urban Agriculture: Now is the time to open up the agricultural competitions to include an exhibition for the state's third-largest crop -- marijuana. Along with corn and hay, judges would rate pot entries on beauty, aroma, buzz and brownie bake-ability.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
