Fire spinning at Confluence Park

Every Sunday and Thursday night for the rest of the summer, as the sun sets, a group of dancers and drummers gather at Confluence Park to play with fire aka fire spinning. They start off by warming up with glow sticks and hula hoops and then switch to the fun stuff, the fire props which include staffs, swords and fire whips and it is usually accompied by a drum circle. 

Fire spinning is quite popular on tourist filled beaches, circus acts and the Burning Man Festival but you don’t see it very often in Colorado. As you can imagine, the fire department is quite reluctant to give permits for the fire spinning so this is currently the only public venue that Denver fire spinners have. It’s free and a lot of fun to watch so go check it out!

Loving life in Denver!

The rugby pitch at Infinity Park

It’s rugby season and in case you didn’t know, the city of Glendale has one of the premier rugby stadiums in the United States, Infinity Park. In simple terms, rugby is a full contact team sport that originated in England in the 19th Century. It’s somewhat similar to American football because they are both team sports, played on large fields with an oval ball, there is a lot of running and sometimes kicking the ball but the similarities end there.  Rugby is fun, fast paced game that is definitely worth checking out and as the players say… ”give blood, play rugby”! The Glendale Raptors are lucky to call Infinity Park “home”. There are men’s and women’s teams and also a youth league. I recommend checking the schedule and going to watch a game… I know you’ll enjoy it! 

Aside from the rugby stadium, there is also an events center and sports center at Infinity Park and it’s becoming one of the hot spots in Denver. Infinity Park now hosts a lot of events including fireworks during the 4th of July, free concerts and this Monday they will show the last free, outdoor movie of the season. Gates open at 7:00 and admission is free. Bring your picnic basket and a blanket and enjoy watching the last movie of the summer will be Twilight.

August 28th 1-5PM

:: TOMORROW ONLY ::

As a midcentury modern home owner and enthusiast this event is close to my heart. The second annual Arapahoe Acres Home & Garden Tour is August 28, 2010 from 1-5PM.  Buy tickets online today for $20 or $25 at the door and for $30 you can have a guided tour.

Arapahoe Acres is the first post-World War II residential subdivision listed as a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places. Twelve private residences in the Arapahoe Acres Historic District will be open for the public to tour for one afternoon only and that’s tomorrow.  Proceeds for the home tour will help Charles Hay Elementary School build a learning landscape, including a community/school garden.

The unique architectural compositions and the interior designs inspired by mid-century & contemporary elements are only exhibited in a handful of Denver neighborhoods.  It’s such a treat that the owners open their doors for a peek at the interiors. You can bet I’ll be one of the first people in line tomorrow afternoon when the doors open.

Lannie Garrett performing

Check out the Naughty Pierre’s Burlesque and Comedy Extravaganza every Thursday at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret in downtown Denver. The show features old fashion burlesque from the 20′s and 30′s with a modern twist. Every show includes comedians, torch song singers, puppet shows, belly dancing, magicians and much more…it’s a guaranteed great evening out! The dancing and the costumes are great! One word of warning, the host of the show can be rather crude so be prepare but I thought he was a lot of fun! And I really love the intimate venue. It makes for a really fun night!

If you don’t like the idea of a burlesque show, you may want to go see the Eagles tribute band or the Legends of Motown Review. Check the website for a current line-up of upcoming shows. Loving life in Denver! Kim Beethe Byers

The magnetic maze board's plastic wand can separate and expose a magnet that can be a choking hazard to children. Also, if a child has more than one of these toys and the magnets detach and are swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestinal perforations or blockages, which can be fatal.
