Yee Haw! Colorado, let’s “cowboy up.” This time of year Denver thinks about our cow-town roots as the whole city gets in on the celebration of the Stock Show! The parade through downtown starting at Union Station will begin the festivities this Thursday. The stock show is part rodeo, part livestock, part festival, all fun for everyone! The City and County building even keeps their Christmas lights up and lit though the Stock Show. If you are feeling fancy, head to the Brown Palace where you can see the champion steer in the lobby of one of the fanciest hotels in Denver.
