Metromix picks: Getting busy on Labor Day

From big-time sports to tasty treats, Denver is going off this Labor Day weekend. With A Taste of Colorado bringing out the culinary artillery and the Rockies facing the Diamondbacks at home, there is plenty to do right around downtown. And if you're looking to travel, the state fair will just be hitting its stride in Pueblo and Jazz Aspen Snowmass is hosting a pile of musical talent. No matter what you're into, this is pretty much summer's last gasp, so choose carefully. And don't forget that Metromix will be at both A Taste of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Showdown, so look for us!
