Tonight Lola is hosting Buffalo Bill's Dinner, "an evening inspired by Buffalo Bill, Colorado's culinary and agriculture history, and Mexican heritage."

Steve Friesen of Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave and Gustavo Arellano, author of Ask a Mexican, will both speak. Dinner starts at 7 p.m. and tickets, $50 are sold out; to see if there are any openings, call 720-570-8686.
