Thing to Do

Day One - Arrive Denver from
Akron for the 2007 Barbershop harmony Society Annual convention and chorus and quartet competition at the Pepsi Center.
Rent car and drive to town. Quick tour of area, lunch and check in to Homestead hotel at 3:00pm.
You might want to go see the Butterfly Pavilion, that's something unusual that you don't see anywhere else. I've lived in Denver for 8 years and work downtown - you'll find plenty to occupy you on the 16th Street Mall.
