Whew! It's been a crazy week around the Mile High Business Alliance as we've been working to get our awesome Local Flavor Guides into the hands of the visitors who are just beginning to pour into the city.
We picked up 4,800 brand-new Uptown guides from the printer this afternoon, and have volunteers and staff distributing the guides in Denver hotels today and tomorrow. (special thanks to Alicia, John and Lisa for all your help!) We've also been visiting businesses in Uptown, SoBo and Old South Pearl St. to drop off guides.
If you have DNC guests at your home or business, please share the Local Flavor Guides with them. There are free, printable versions of the guides for six Denver neighborhoods online, and we'd also be happy to stop by in the next few days with printed versions for SoBo, Old South Pearl St. and Uptown for you to give away.
This weekend, we'll be at the Green Frontier Fest in booth #E. Stop by and say hello! We'll be giving out guides and selling our fabulous Colorado Local First t-shirts.
Next week, I'll be volunteering at the Big Tent in LoDo, which is housing a few hundred bloggers for the convention. I'll be handing out guides to whomever I can.
The city is already buzzing for the convention, and who knows how insane the next week will be. We've spent the last year getting to know the amazing restaurants, shops, art galleries and other local businesses that truly make our city unique. Today I'm wearing my "Denver is my new hometown" shirt because, honestly, I'm proud of Denver. I'm proud of us and what we've created here, and I'm going to be bragging about you for the next nine days.

That's some exciting stuff. And we want to be sure to get information about Denver's unique local businesses to the out-of-town visitors so they can get a real taste of Denver's Local Flavor. :)
