Good morning, good people of Denver! It’s another edition of The Denver Lowdown, where we celebrate all the upcoming weekend events and clue you in on what’s going down. This weekend is particularly awesome because it’s Memorial weekend, a three-day (or four if you’re lucky) tribute to our fallen service men and women filled with barbecues, American flags, and long evenings with friends and family.

There’s a lot to do this Memorial weekend for everyone from fishing fans to art lovers. So, let’s check out what you’re doing this weekend.

Saturday:

1. Free Fly Fishing Clinics at Orvis Denver Retail Store (2701 E 1st Ave, Denver, CO 80206)

If you’re a fly fishing fan (and I’m sure you are), Denver’s Orvis retail store is offering free fly fishing lessons all through June most Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9am-12pm. If you’re looking for a family activity that may or may not end in dinner, these free lessons are totally for you. Classes are complimentary to the public, but RSVPs are necessary. I mean, you can’t just roll up without letting them know, that’s impolite. You can register online or call Orvis for specific class times and anything else you might like to know. (photo)
