With the long President’s day weekend coming up and the kids on school break, you’re probably wondering what activities you can do to keep them busy. Never fear, Denvering is here! We’ve got just the recipe for you.

Whether you’re young or old you’re sure to enjoy watching the artisans making candy by hand at Hammond’s Candies–in business since 1920!

They say that it takes their workers a full two years to learn all the candy making processes.

See it yourself live with their free factory tours that run every half hour (except Sundays). If you call for an appointment you can book their secret, “Behind the Scenes” tour, a must-see for any candy enthusiast. Call early. Their President’s Day weekend “Behind the Scenes” tours will fill fast.

Hammond’s Candies
5735 N. Washington Street
Denver, CO 80216

After your tour, plan to browse their attached candy store–a feast for the senses that justifies the very short trip to their location just jorth of Denver. Sample some of their unusual hard candy flavors and colors that span the rainbow and a wide variety of chocolaty treats to boot. So parents, plan for your little one’s sugar high and subsequent sugar crash in their car seat at the end of your tour. It’s a fun indoor outing that doesn’t require a your winter coat or sunscreen.

Some of the vendors who you might see at either of the two events below are as follows….

Kiwi and Company, Simone Meyer, owner.. She makes a variety of knitted items and really cool leg warmers from recycled sweaters (very creative).

Fishy Fishy,  Cynthia Leibman, owner …. She makes needle felted animal mobiles that swing from a window, felted jewelry and little creatures to set around  your house out of felted wool. Very interesting and a must see.

Mukee, Derek Keenan, owner…. Makes jewelry and belt buckles out of recycled skateboards.

These artists and many more will be found at the winter craft fairs listed below.  Hope you can make it to one or both of the fairs to support these local craftspeople.

2nd Event: Fancy Tiger’s Holiday handmade 2010!

Many members of Denver’s Handmade Alliance will have their craft booths set up and ready to invite you to browse their respective wares.

It is the 3rd year for this all out extravaganza of homemade items.  I personally purchased quite a few items that got rave reviews from my friends and family who received the gifts over the holidays.

Fancy Tiger is a store in the heart of the Baker District on S. Broadway that caters to teaching the art of knitting, sewing and all types of craft projects.  Great place to take a quick class to brush up on your crafting skills or learn a new one! Who knows what talents are hidden inside of you.

Divino Wines on South Broadway threw it’s annual celebration of Spring, Planet Pink, a few weeks ago and I was there to document the fun.

Planet pink showcased 75 rose’ wines from many different regions of the world such as France, Italy and of course, the U.S.A. 

Attendees of this event go all out to show their love of the pink by dressing up in amazing outfits from pink bathrobes, pink socks/underwear combos and even pink balloons masquerading as pink grapes. 

 As the owner, Dave, reminds us “No Pink, No Drink”. 

Don’t miss this outrageously fun event next year.  Get into Divino wines now and sign up for his email/mailing list so you can get yourself on the guest list.

Divino also hosts montly wine tastings usually at Capelli Flowers also on S. Broadway just around the corner from Divino. 

Divino Wines is a local wine store located on South Broadway near the Gates Redevelopment area. 

 The owner, Dave, shares his love of wine with each and every customer who walks through his door.  I should know as I will stop in on occasion to purchase a wonderful bottle of wine before heading off to a friend’s home or a bbq on a summer evening. 

His extensive collection runs the full gamut of price ranges and countries.  

You can find Divino located here….
