HONEY DO
Children’s author Jan Brett – in person
Barnes & Noble
2451 Patterson Road, Grand Junction
The beloved and best- selling author makes her sole Colorado stop on a two-week bus tour to promote her new book “Honey… Honey… Lion!” Oct. 19 at 5 p.m. Brett traveled twice to the Okavango Delta in Botswana to research this sweet morality tale about the honeyguide bird, above, and its partner the honey badger.
SWEET TREAT
Professional Appliances & Candy
78 S. Broadway, Denver
The unusual pairing of old-school candy and high-end appliances is the type of twist that gives Denver’s funky South Broadway retail strip such a great flavor. Beyond the canvas awning, but before you get to the Avanti, Bosch, Crossley, Frigidaire and Speed Queen appliances, are long tables filled with bins of penny candy and boxes of classic treats, like Necco wafers and Pixy Stix, and an ever-changing menu of Pop Rocks flavors.
