Fun Freebie

Because most of us Boomers are on fixed retirement incomes, seems like we're always looking for free food and entertainment.   Are you?   Then why not try an Art Walk or First Fridays?

Not only is it FREE admission, but most galleries also have free appetizers and wine.   Plus it gives you a first hand opportunity to view new art works and often meet the artist. 

The easiest way to find info in your area is to go to your local Events Calendar (on the Internet) or check the entertainment section in your daily paper.  

For Boulder/Denver locals, check out the free Art Show tonight at the Earthwood Gallery, Boulder.

or The Santa Fe Art District near Downtown Denver which has a long history of artist's studios.  The area is booming now with over 60 artists working in the Art District.   It's a fun, funky area to visit.

Dinner Theaters

Aren't we retirees always looking for a bargain, especially when a larger percentage of our net income is now spent on everyday necessities?

One of the best bargains for fun and socializing are dinner theaters. They offer good entertainment and food for a reasonable price and you can get even greater savings usually if you go on a Wednesday or Thursday night or on weekend afternoons.

The Boulder Dinner Theater offered a super 2 for 1 special recently for their play "NUNSENSE". Dinner and Theater for 2 for just $40 which included salad and the main course....drinks and dessert are extra. It was like getting the show for free!

NUNSENSE is a funny play with a lot of inside jokes based on Catholicism. It was a trip down memory lane for me as I attended 9 years of Catholic schools and know how tough those nuns could be. Let's just say a nun was never wrong and all our parents definitely agreed with whatever punishment they doled out!
