Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
There's a cornucopia of culinary events in Denver tonight, with everything from the Westword Dish/A Menu Affair at the Fillmore to Penny Parker's Sense of Security benefit dinner at Lola. And for an appetizer, First Lady Jeannie Ritter is hosting "Pints & Bites," a benefit for the Governor's Residence Preservation Fund.
The event, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Governor's Mansion at 400 East Eighth Avenue, features thirty different beers (the governor's beverage of choice), 23 dishes incorporating food from five Colorado farms, and chef and brewer presentations. Individual tickets are $100; for more details, click here.
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.
