If you are new to Douglas County then you are in for a treat! This downhome Parker Days event is where you really get to know your friends, neighbors, public officials, Parker Chamber members, and local Parker business owners. The Parker Chamber calls this one of their signature events and it includes a parade, carnival, craft and artisan show, good food, cold beer and all the regular carnival fare you’d expect. Local businesses and churches also sponsor a young children’s area with face painting, bounce rooms, pony rides all at a very reasonable price, and a grand fireworks display as a grand finale.

This is a great date night and reminds you of a million movies you’ve seen where your guy wins you the big teddy bear or perhaps the dance concert.  There’s lots of quiet spots to sneak away for a moonlit kiss and a stroll around the park is sometimes just the ticket.

Discounted carnival tickets are now on sale for $20 per ticket, which is a $5 savings over purchasing your ticket at the Carnival.  Click here for information. For 2010, discounted tickets may be purchased online only. Tickets will not be available for sale at the Chamber office. Once purchased online via the secure shopping cart, you can print out your tickets in the comfort of your home or office.

To purchase tickets, simply click on the link below, specify the number of tickets and add them to your shopping cart. More details of how the Parker Days eTickets work can be found by clicking here.

To purchase your discounted Carnival tickets click here.

The Parker Chamber hired Scott Wattum this year and he’s doing a great job of keeping the website updated as well as the Facebook page and a Twitter account.

A list of food vendors can be found here as well as the menu they’ll be serving, and a list of businesses, crafters and other vendors here. At this point there are a few openings for vendors. If you are interested, contact Scott here.

Before

This pizza is sooo easy.. seriously!! and inexpensive… date night doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive… Make every day life together a fun adventure!

After

And as promised the secret to a man’s heart… A cold brew served in a frosty mug.  I seriously think my hunky hubby fell in love the day I brought beer mugs for his freezer.  Even cheap azz beer tastes good in a frosty mug!  But this happens to be AWESOME beer, fresh from the downtown Denver Rock Bottom Brewery.  OH MY Gosh it’s totally addictive!  Look at this head…

Now not EVERY lady can be charmed with flowers.. but my guy knows that I CAN be.  These are actually cut from our very own garden so even more romantic than a trip to the flower shop for me.

I arranged them in the vase.. my hubby IS a guy after all…   Then a Netflix movie…  I happen to LOVE action flicks
