Chatfield DBG - "Trail of Lights"

This is the first night (members and guests only night) of the "Trail of Lights" show put on by the Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield. Richard Rew and I (Fran) will be our TTW Walk Hosts. We have ten (10) DBG member guest openings on our DBG membership cards to share with Topic Talk Walks (TTW) walkers for this "Open Topic" colorful holiday walk. The DBG is not accepting "paid admissions" on this first night - for members and their guests only (see additional information about the show after the first night below).

As of today, Monday, December 2, 2008, we have 3 additional DBG members walking with our 13 participants. We have 2 remaining member guest passes on Fran and Richard's membership card for tomorrow's Trail of Lights walk.

If you or your friends want to add additional DBG member guests to this TTW "Open Topic" walk, please let everyone know in your RSVP for this walk, so that I can increase the number of people to more than 12 who can attend this walk.

We need new TTW walk organizers to organize walks on their own topics of interest in their favorite parks! On this walk and future TTW walks, current and new TTW walk organizers will be given their own TTW ribbons for hat bands or banners.

If you have questions, email me [Fran] at [masked], or call me at home at (303) 321-1064. On the day of the walk, you can reach me on my cell phone at [masked].

New at Chatfield! With the Colorado foothills as a backdrop, more than one million twinkling lights will illuminate the beauty of a charming forest path at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

A children's play area - including a treehouse - will be included along the trail path. Tour a restored 1880s homestead that will be decorated in a charming Colorado country Christmas motif. Hot cocoa and other refreshments will be sold to ward off the chill during the walk through the Gardens' trail. Holospex 3-D glasses, which have been hugely popular at the Gardens’ York Street location, will be available for just $1. Lots of free parking.
