What’s New in Denver This Summer?

This summer the city of Denver will play host to the Democratic Convention. This event will pack the city and nearby suburbs with visitors from all over the nation. There will be 10,000 reporters covering the event. The impact on Denver will be a once in a century event.

The convention will take place each night in the Pepsi Center. Denver’s hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues will benefit greatly from such an event. In addition to the millions of dollars Denver was given to prepare the city for the convention, it is expected that an extra $160-200 million dollars will be brought to the Denver economy.

There are also different events that the NDCC is putting on to get citizens involved. Some of these events include:
*Clean-up project at the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver
*Making a special holiday breakfast with Colorado’s First Lady Jeannie Ritter for homeless and runaway youth
*Sorting canned goods with Atlanta Mayor and Convention Co-Chair Shirley Franklin
*Soccer skills camp with the Colorado Rapids
*Spreading mulch around trees in City Park to promote environmentalism
