Every year, thousands of people flock to downtown Fruita to celebrate the life of a world-famous headless chicken named Mike. The festival is typically held in the first week of June at the Fruita Civic Center Pavilion. There will be food vendors, artisan vendors, live music, 5k run, car show, free backyard games, wing and peep eating contests, and a pancake breakfast.

Union Station
Downtown Denver, Colorado
The Crown Jewel of Denver
The station was built in 1917 and reopened in 2014 with a new look and feel. Union Station has 10 restaurants and bars, boutiques, and a hotel. It's also the transportation hub for Denver, with access to bus, light rail, and train lines.
In 1873, German immigrants Adolph Coors and Jacob Schueler from Prussia immigrated to the United States and established a brewery in Golden, Colorado, after buying a recipe for a Pilsner-style beer from a Czech immigrant William Silhan. Coors invested $2,000 in the operation, and Schueler invested $18,000.
In 1880, Coors bought out his partner and became the sole owner of the brewery.
