Candy land

It may not be Halloween quite yet, but it’s never too early for a little sweet, spooky fun. Northfield Stapleton (8340 Northfield Blvd.) in Denver is hosting a free family-friendly Candy Crawl on Oct. 13 from 3 to 5 p.m. Little ghouls and goblins, along with their parents, can enjoy candy, hay rides, crafts, contests and more. Plus, there will be lots of not-so-scary entertainment, including a face painter, fire dancer and “Thriller” dancers. Organizers request no scary costumes, as the event is designed for kids. Candy will be distributed at participating retailers; just look for the orange balloons. orthfieldstapleton.com

Greek life

Quiznos is going Greek again, with the return of three menu items including a gyro flatbread, gyro sub sandwich and Greek salad. Bite into the gyro flatbread for just $1 on Oct. 17. (For those who can’t wait, Toasty Points members can get the special offer Oct. 10-16.)
