Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. We get to hang out with friends and family, eat a lot, hang out in the summer sunshine and all of us partake in FREE entertainment. At least the fireworks shows I seem to enjoy are free. (You can also go to sporting events or other paid entertainment – but the fireworks for the most part can be seen/enjoyed for free). We have pulled together a list of a ton of cool things to do.
ARC Sale. The 4th of July is a day to celebrate all that is great about America…and a day to SAVE BIG at all 27 ARC Thrift Stores across the Front Range. On Wednesday, July 4th, just about everything in the stores – summer dresses, shorts, t-shirts, bathing suits, vacation must-haves, pool toys, housewares, barbecue supplies, home décor, and more – is 50 PERCENT OFF!!
Quizno’s. Just in time for the Fourth of July, Quiznos will offer a limited time offer of BOGO BBQ Pulled Pork subs from July 1 – 8. Members of Quiznos’ Toasty Points loyalty program can order either of the two BBQ pulled pork recipes (Southern Style or Spicy Chipotle) and can get a second pulled pork sub free at participating U.S. locations. If you’re not are already a loyalty member, you can still enjoy a free sub. Just download the Toasty Points app to redeem the BOGO offer.
Noodles & Company Mac and Cheese Day. Can you guess which menu item flies out of the kitchen fastest at Noodles & Company restaurants in Denver? I’ll give you a hint: It’s rich, creamy, and leaves the boxed variety in its orange-dyed dust. Since Mile High Mamas readers know a thing or two about elbow noodles smothered in cheddar cheese sauce, any member of the NoodlesREWARDS program can snag a free small bowl of Wisconsin Mac & Cheese with the purchase of a regular entrée on Saturday, July 14 (National Mac & Cheese Day!). Fans just need to sign up at Noodles.com/Rewards by Friday, July 13.
Colorado Renaissance Festival. The age old (see what I did there?) festival celebrating the fun, frivolity and food (Hello Turkey Legs!) of the Renaissance is now open in Larkspur. Get your Buy One Adult Get One Child (or you can use it for $3 off an adult ticket) coupon at participating Subway stores.
Water World. A great way to cool off on a hot summer day is Water World. There are a couple ways to get deals: Buy tickets at King Soopers for $5 off gate price or get a Family 4-Pack which includes 4 admissions, one 16” pizza and 4 drinks for only $149.96; Bring a specially marked Mountain Dew Can for $8 off; Stoby by local Denver Subway stores to get an $8 off coupon.
