Icy reception
Are you ready to hit the ice? The Colorado Avalanche host its inaugural Avs Fan Fest on Sept. 29 at the Pepsi Center. Both admission and parking are free. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the interactive experience provides fans with a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a team practice. Fans will get a peek into practice strategy, view “live” in-practice interviews with players and experience an end-of-practice Avs player contest. The event will also include an exclusive Q&A with Head Coach Jared Bednar. The fest is a non-ticketed event, but fans are encouraged to RSVP at avalanche.teamkse.com/avs-fan-fest. Those who do will be entered to win prizes, including Avs tickets, autographed merchandise and more. (You must be present at the event to claim your prize.)
Weekend buzz
Coffee lovers should have lots of reasons to stir things up on Sept. 29, also known as National Coffee Day, as many shops are celebrating the day with deals. Krispy Kreme is giving away a free cup, any size. Cinnabon is also sharing a free 12-ounce cup with customers. No purchase required for either offer. Grab a coffee buddy and head to Dunkin’ Donuts for a buy-one-get-one-free cup of its hot coffee. Stop by Einstein Bros. Bagels for a free cup of Caribou Coffee with the purchase of any food item. Finally, Circle K and Pilot Flying J convenience stores are also offering a free cup, but each requires a digital offer found on their respective mobile apps. With so many popular independent coffee shops brewing around town, stop by your favorite neighborhood café for more specials and giveaways.
Word play
All plays start with the written word and, at some point, a budding playwright has to share those words with others. Denver Center for the Performing Arts Education is calling playwrights of all levels to hear their material read out loud, maybe for the first time. If you’re interested, bring 10 minutes of a work-in-progress to First Mondays: Playwriting for a little assistance from the pros in developing it further. The first workshop takes place on Oct. 1 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the DCPA Education building at 13th and Arapahoe. The series is free to writers and the public. Plays will be read on a first come, first served basis. If your piece still needs a little more work before you share it with the world, there is a second playwriting session on Nov. 5. You can register online at denvercenter.org/education/adult-acting-classes.
Dinner bell
How do you celebrate National Taco Day? Munching tacos on the cheap at Taco Bell, of course. The ubiquitous fast-food franchise is celebrating the crunch-worthy day with a special National Taco Day Gift Set. On Oct. 4, get the food holiday box with four tacos, including a Crunchy Taco and one of each of its Doritos Locos Tacos (Fiery, Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese) for $5. The set comes with themed packaging, so no wrapping necessary. Sounds like the perfect gift for taco lovers on-the-go. Unfortunately, taco fans, the box is only available for the one day. tacobell.com/day
