This is the first year since 2008 that The Denver Post didn’t sponsor its , where readers created offbeat dioramas featuring the marshmallow figures. The contest was overseen by former Food editor Kristen Browning-Blas, who departed last July for a position at Colorado State University.
Lucky us, at 650 Sherman St. rode to the rescue with its own “Peeps show,” which was set up between the host stand and the bar.
There were several cute and clever dioramas, but the one that made us grin on a weekend visit was the Red Hot Chili Peepers, a tribute to the longstanding rock-funk band. A ton of clever stuff was going on, and other candy besides Peeps got into the act: The guitar bodies were made of mini-Hersey and Krackel bars, while a Pez dispenser served as a mic stand.
We are sure that would approve.
