Marczyk Fine Foods Launches Burger Night
Beginning this Friday, from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m., Marczyk Fine Foods (770 East 17th Ave. in Denver) welcomes back a great Marczyk tradition: burger night.

Now, burger night has grown into a Denver tradition where you can stop by, get a great burger for $6.99 and hang out with the locals. Burger night will continue every Friday night, weather permitting, throughout the summer.

Another event that might be of interest is CSU Extension's Plant-A-Palooza sale on Saturday, May 17 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Harvard Gulch Park, 888 E. Iliff.
Master gardeners will be on hand to answer questions, and plants will include heirloom tomatoes, peppers, herbs, annuals and perennials. Sales will benefit CSU Extension.
Oddly enough, I found out about this via a neighborhood coupon book. The only thing I can find online is on the Extension calendar, here.
Maybe they plan to advertise more closer to the event.
