Animal Adoption Event in Denver

Demi's Animal Rescue will once again be hosting an Animal Adoption Event here at Fun City! The event will take place on Saturday, December 21, 2013, from 3:00pm until 6:30pm. Several rescues will be participating, and there will be plenty of dogs and cats available for both adoption and fostering. The September event was a success, with several animals finding their forever homes, so we hope you will join us at this event and help make it a success too. The animals will appreciate it. They'd all love to find their forever homes in time for the holidays.


Also, if you are looking for other ways to help out, Demi's Animal Rescue has put together a "Wish List" of item donations for the holiday season. If you can donate even one item, it would be very appreciated. You can bring the donated item(s) into Fun City, or you can contact Demi directly for a place to drop it off.

Veteran's Day Freebies in Denver

Are you looking for Veteran's Day freebies in the Denver area? You've arrived at the right place. For the first time, Fun City Family Entertainment in Littleton is offering a Veteran's Day deal to patrons. All veterans or active duty military personnel who arrive in uniform on November 11 will receive a free entree and drink up to $15. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Veterans and active duty military not in uniform are entitled to a 50 percent discount on their meal when they present a valid military ID.

Veteran's Day is celebrated every year on November 11. It was originally an official U.S. holiday called Armistice Day, celebrating the end of World War I and those who fought in the war. However, on June 1, 1954, it was renamed Veteran's Day to honor those Americans who fought in all wars.

Veteran's Day is an official holiday. When it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday by the federal government.

Black Friday in Denver

What are your plans for the biggest shopping day of the year? In 2013, Black Friday falls on November 29. If you live in the Denver area, then Fun City would like to invite you to spend the day with us, taking advantage of our drink specials and our 10 for $10 deal. You'll have unlimited access to all of our core attractions all day for only $10! That means you can play laser tag, race go-karts, compete with friends in a round of miniature golf, try out the rock wall, and challenge yourself in the laser maze. So, when you are finished with your early morning shopping, head over to Littleton for fun and excitement!

Do you know the history of Black Friday? It was a term that was originally coined in the 1960s and was used to signify the start of the Christmas shopping season. The term "black" was issued because it marked the time of the year when businesses moved out of the "red" and into the "black," meaning they were starting to generate a profit.

Today, Black Friday is all about shopping discounts and deals. Stores open early, some at midnight, offering costumers amazing deals on items ranging from toys to electronics to home furnishings. Stores often promote their discounts weeks or even a month in advance, while others wait until the last minute to entice shoppers with the best deals.

Retailers are not the only ones getting in on all the fun. Restaurants and other establishments like Fun City also celebrate the unofficial holiday by offering a place for consumers to wind down and have fun after a long day of shopping.

Mother-in-Law Day in Denver

Mother's Day is celebrated in May each year, but did you know that there is also a day to celebrate mother-in-laws? Mother-in-Law Day takes place on the fourth Sunday in October every year and is a time to celebrate mother-in-Laws. In 2013, Mother-in-Law Day takes place on October 27.

Mother-in-Laws are often viewed as the bad "guy," but Mother-in-Law Day is designed to help challenge this misconception. It is a time to get to know your mother-in-law. Why not take them out to dinner, go see a movie, purchase them flowers. You can even bring them in to Fun City and receive a 10 percent discount on all purchases for you and your mother-in-law. So, what are you waiting for? Make plans for Mother-in-Law Day today?

Denver's New Drop-In Bowling Battle

Are you interested in participating in a unique bowling competition? Fun City's Drop-In Bowling Battle  is just that. It starts on Wednesday, October 2, 2013, and lasts through Wednesday, March 26, 2014. During this time, Fun City will be hosting weekly battles every Wednesday at 7pm. Teams must include at least 2 people, but there is no limit to how many people can join your team. Not only that, but you don't have to have the same teams each week. In other words, if you already have plans on Wednesday evenings in November, you don't have to join us that month and you aren't penalized.

The way our Drop-In Bowling Battle works is this:

1) Any week you want to participate, make sure you have at least one other person to bowl with you.
2) The cost for each person to participate is $10 per week.
3) Each week, 3 games are played. You are also entitled to 3 practice games, but these can only be played Monday through Friday.
3) Scores are determined each week by taking the combined team score of each game, dividing it by the  3 games played, and then diving it by the number of people on the team. The team with the highest average that week wins!
4) Every week, prizes will be given out for crazy battle contests.......but the fun doesn't end there!


If you are looking for something fun to do with friends, then head over to Fun City on Wednesday evenings at 7pm starting October 2. You'll be glad you came to check out this exciting event!

Nick's Garden Center Contest - Demi's Animal Rescue

Nick's Garden Center out of Aurora, Colorado, is sponsoring a Non-Profit Photo Vote Contest through their Facebook page. The public was initially in charge of the contest, nominating local nonprofits in need of some extra help, with Nick's Garden Center narrowing down the nominees to five finalists of their own choosing. The five finalists, including Demi's Animal Rescue, are Empowering Hungry Families to Garden, Adaptive Gardening, Circle of Latina Leadership and Capitol Fellows Reception and Relay for Life of Aurora - American Cancer Society.

It is now up to the public once again to select the winning nonprofit by going to the Nick's Garden Center Facebook page and voting for their favorite nonprofit. The winning nonprofit will receive a $2,500 grant. Voting takes place through July 9, and everyone can vote once per day.

Demi's Animal Rescue is a no kill rescue run by 17-year-old Demi Merritt, who started the 501 nonprofit when she was only 14. The rescue concentrates on four main points: fostering, adopting, donating and spreading the word. Demi's Animal Rescue is in need of public support through donations and awareness, as it is currently a small rescue that would benefit from expansion. The more donations and help through contests like Nick's means the rescue can grow and take in more animals in need!

Demi Merritt was recently featured on Denver's ABC affiliate, 7News, as part of their 7 Everyday Hero segment. The photo below includes Demi and some of the Channel 7 Everyday Hero news team.

Each week, Denver's ABC affiliate 7NEWS presents the "7 Everyday Hero" award. The award is given out once a week, presented during the Sunday newscast at 10pm. The program airs again throughout the week on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at select times.

The way the program works is that viewers nominate someone who stands out in the community; a person whom they believe should be honored for their contributions. 7NEWS has a selection committee in place that meets each week, reviewing all the nominees. It typically takes three to four weeks from the time a person is nominated for the selection committee to make a decision about whether that individual will receive the award. Recipients are selected based off numerous factors, including their ability to motivate others, make sacrifices, set an example, remain focused, solve problems, follow through with goals and to make a difference.

On Sunday, June 23, 2013, Demi Merritt will be presented with the "7 Everyday Hero" award by anchor Mitch Jelniker. Merritt is the founder of Demi's Animal Rescue, a registered 501c(3) non profit organization that rescues and adopts out animals. In addition to running the organization, Demi also volunteers and helps raise money for Reinrescue, Maxfund Animal Adoption Center and Edwards Foundation for Rescued Animals. 

What makes this award even more special? Demi Merritt is only 17! Her future goals include growing Demi's Animal Rescue into one of the largest rescues in Colorado, one that supports all types of animals from all over the world.

Demi's "7 Everyday Hero" segment will air at 10pm on Sunday, June 23. The segment airs again on Monday, June 24, at 5am, Thursday, June 27, at 11am, Saturday, June 29, at 5pm and Sunday, June 30, at 7am.

Go Fishing Day, International Sushi Day and International Panic Day

Did you know that June 18 marks three different "holidays?" That's right, June 18th is Go Fishing Day, Sushi Day and International Panic Day. Why not celebrate these unique holidays with your own brand of fun?

1) Go Fishing Day is self explanatory. It is a day to get out and fish. Did you know that more people in the United States fish than play golf and tennis? If you are unable to go out and fish today, there are other ways to celebrate, including making baked goods around a fish theme. Engaging in arts and crafts centered around fish is another way to celebrate the holiday.

2) International Sushi Day - The best way to celebrate this holiday is to go out to your favorite sushi restaurant or make the tasty food at home. Either way, grab yourself some yellowtail, shrimp, eel, octopus, smelt egg, or sea urchin. Top that off with California rolls or Philadelphia rolls.

3) International Panic Day - This is a holiday where people have the permission to "panic" about anything in their lives that stresses them out. Although this holiday is meant to be "tongue-in-cheek," more than 6 million people suffer from panic disorder.

National Flag Day in Denver

National Flag Day takes place every June 14, with celebrations around the United States that include ceremonies, parades, picnics and essay contests. These celebrations are typically sponsored by schools, veterans' groups and the National Flag Day Foundation, whose focus is to preserve the history, pride and tradition of the flag.

Although National Flag Day did not become an official national holiday until August 3, 1949, it has been celebrated for much longer. The first celebration took place in 1877, as it marked 100 years since the Flag Resolution of 1777. However, many people credit Wisconsin school teacher BJ Cigrand as spearheading the first annual Flag Day celebration in 1885. Cigrand had his students observe the flag on June 14, and today he is referred to as the "Father of Flag Day."

There are many ways people celebrate National Flag Day. In the Denver area, each year Flag Day is celebrated at Genesee Mountain. At 11:30am on June 14, 2013, the 102nd annual celebration will take place, featuring a Flag Day ceremony and a picnic to follow.

In addition to celebrations, many places and businesses offer freebies on Flag Day. For example, there is a free USFlag app available for iPhone users. Free downloads of The National Anthem are available on Amazon, and free Flag Day eCards are available through the Freebie Depot.

Father's Day Discount in Denver

Are you looking for somewhere in Denver to spend Father's Day this year, a place the entire family can enjoy? Why not head over to Fun City in Littleton? This Sunday, June 16, 2013, all dads bowl free at Fun City.

Have you ever wondered how Father's Day began? The first event in the U.S. to honor fathers took place on July 5, 1908, at a church in West Virginia. The celebration was to honor the memory of 362 men who died at the Fairmont Coal Company mines the previous year. The following year, Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman in Spokane,Washington, attempted to create a holiday for men very similar to that of Mother's Day. Her success at petitioning for the holiday resulted in the first statewide celebration of Father's Day on July 19, 1910, in Washington.

Although Father's Day gained in popularity over the years, it did not become a federal holiday until 1972, the year President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation to make it a holiday.

National Iced Tea Day in Denver

National Iced Tea Day is celebrated every June 10, a perfect way to kick off the summer season each year. Consumers can celebrate by making and enjoying their own iced tea at home, or by going out and ordering iced tea at restaurants and bakeries. Some places even offer their customers free or discounted tea in honor of the holiday!

Iced tea can trace its origins to the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, where ice was added to hot tea in order to cool off fairgoers. Since then, it has continued to grow in popularity. Tea has also been known to offer many health benefits, including improved dental health due to the natural fluoride found in tea. Some research suggests tea provides benefits for the health of the heart, brain, bones and for certain patients with cancer.

If you live in the Denver area, there are a few places offering freebies for National Tea Day.

1) Teavana has a printable coupon on their official website, good for a free Teavana Tea. The coupon is valid June 10th only, and is good for a free 16-ounce cup. This offer is good at all three Denver area locations, including Cherry Creek, Park Meadows and Flatirons.
2) 7-Eleven locations throughout Denver are offering a free, 16-ounce Snapple starting today and lasting through June 15. In order to get the freebie you must print out a coupon. This can be done by texting TEA to 711711, downloading the 7-Eleven app and loading the coupon onto it.

National Doughnut Day in Denver

Fun City is all about having a good time, and who doesn't have a good time when they are munching on doughnuts?

Unlike many food holidays, National Doughnut Day has an origin and history that can be traced. Celebrated on the first Friday of June each year, National Doughnut Day takes place in 2013 on Friday, June 7.

The holiday originated in Chicago in 1938, spearheaded by The Salvation Army to help raise money for those struggling during The Great Depression. The holiday also celebrated the "doughnut lassies," women who distributed doughnuts to soldiers during World War I. This was why soldiers arriving home were nicknamed "doughboys!"

Today, National Doughnut Day is a time to celebrate the sugary treat and take advantage of discounts, freebies, and deals offered by doughnut shops across the country. If you live in the Denver area, there are several places offering discounts and freebies.

1) LaMar's Donuts - Get a free doughnut at LaMar's, no purchase necessary.

The "holiday" first started in 2009 when several running organizations joined together to celebrate an exercise both inexpensive and easy to engage in. Some of the organizations that helped jumpstart the holiday include Running USA, the Little Rock Marathon, New York Road Runners, USA Track and Field and the Boston Athletic Association.

In honor of the holiday, the official National Running Day Facebook page sponsors several contests for its fans, with giveaways including National Running Day hats.

For those of you who live in the Denver area, there are several ways to celebrate. There are two different free running events, both called Fun Runs, at 6pm this evening. One is at the Boulder Running Company, located on Pearl Street, and the other is at the Runner's Roost on Colorado Boulevard.

After your run, there are ways to help your body recover. Research has shown that eating tart cherries or drinking dark cherry juice helps people who are training for long-distance running. The reason is because the cherries are believed to have anti-inflammatory content, more than any other food!

National Hug Your Cat Day

Today is National Hug Your Cat Day, so Fun City urges you to grab your feline and show em' some affection.

National Hug Your Cat Day is part of a bigger celebration, as the month of June is Adopt-A-Cat-Month. Some shelters even offer incentives for adopting cats during the month of June. The Humane Society of Southern Arizona, for example, is giving away fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and neutered cats 5-months-old and older.

For those of you who live in the Denver area, check into adopting a cat this month from Demi's Animal Rescue.
