Re: “UPDATE: From the bargain hunter's bag: It's back!”
Hi Sarah,
This sale is full of brand-new, high-end product, but prices are reduced 75 percent off the original ticket price on clothing, and 50 percent or so off shoes, purses, etc. When I was in, I saw everything from a $36 Banana Republic shirt to a $1,600 (don't remember the brand) vest. I purchased a full-length Anthropologie wool coat, originally priced at $300, for $75. Best, Kirsten Akens, associate editor

Re: “Price-gouging on Venetucci Pumpkin Ale”
Just to comment on this part of Mr. K's post: "Finally, Venetucci Farms is a business. They made a solid profit on their output and likely do not begrudge the Colorado Liquor Outlet their profits."
Venetucci Farms is a project of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation. Bristol Brewing Co. produces the Venetucci Pumpkin Ale each year and donates 100 percent of the profits to Venetucci Farms. It's a community fundraiser to help keep the farm running. This entire Bristol event is done in the spirit of Nick and Bambi Venetucci, who originally owned the farm and used to give away thousands of pumpkins each year to children around Colorado Springs.

Re: “Last chance to see Doug, Holly, Lindsay and Drew”
Thanks! I thought that might be her, but I didn't want to incorrectly credit the piece.
