On Saturday, June 27, the store is pleased to offer a couple of FREE special events that are sure to delight!
Tasting & Book Launch with the Junior League of Denver, 1pm:
The Junior League of Denver's cookbooks are perennial favorites, both for Coloradans and as gifts for family members out of state. This weekend, Borders-Northglenn will be hosting volunteers from the Junior League in support of their newest cookbook, Colorado Classique. As varied as the scenery is in our beautiful state, Colorado's culinary landscape is equally diverse and fully captured in this new cookbook. Help us celebrate the release of Colorado Classique and sample some of the mouth-watering recipes from the book at our in-store tasting/book launch beginning at 1p.m.!
Children's 'Super Saturday Smackdown' Trivia Tournament, 2pm:
What kind of creature is Horton in "Horton Hears a Who"? What color are Harry Potter's eyes? These are just some of the possible trivia questions kids will be challenged to answer during the free "Super Saturday Smackdown" event which kicks off at 2 p.m. The event will find kids of all ages squaring off Jeopardy! style to answer questions about their favorite books. Kids in each store will choose the trivia categories, but here's a hint: Dr. Seuss, Encyclopedia Brown, Junie B. Jones, Nate the Great, Magic Tree House, Harry Potter, Fudge, Pendragon and the Artemis Fowl books are all possible trivia categories. Participants will have plenty of opportunities to show how much they know about books in several adrenaline-pumping trivia heats. Winners of each of the heats will advance to the semi-final and final rounds where one victorious kid will ultimately receive a prize for being the "Super Saturday Smackdown" trivia champion.
In addition to the trivia tournament, kids will also participate in an arts and crafts project and storytime in select stores. Throughout the event, they can enjoy samples of delicious summertime treats and beverages such as Peach Raspberry Cobbler Cake and Peach FruitKula from the Seattle's Best Coffee cafe.
Borders-Northglenn is located at 241 W. 104th Avenue, Northglenn, Colorado 80234. For more information about these events, please feel free to call the store at (303) 920-1594.
