Rock the Earth is very excited to announce that on Sunday, January 24, 2016, we’ll be holding an event of epic proportions to celebrate the local food movement in Denver. Held at The Squeaky Bean, in the Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood of Denver, Dine Out for Earth 3 features celebrity chef and Rock the Earth Advisory Board member Chef Charlie Ayers as well as several of Denver’s top chefs. This event will feature six courses of locally sourced cuisine, local brews (from Great Divide Brewing Co.), wines (from Infinite Monkey Theorem), and cocktails (from Woody Creek Distillers). In addition, Dine Out for Earth 3 will include a silent auction of music memorabilia, art, and donations from local businesses. Music will be provided by Denver’s own DJ Russo.
