Born on the 5th of July
Highlands ice cream shop celebrates anniversary with all-natural dogs, cake walk, jumpy castle, new Red Trolley-white-and-blue flavor and more!
No need for post-fireworks blues. The red, white and blueberry family fun continues as The Red Trolley at 2639 W. 32nd Ave. in the Highlands neighborhood celebrates its one-year birthday on July 5. Birthday-bash activities include face painting, a Trolley-style cake walk, jumpy castle, balloons, music and prizes, plus specials on always-yummy Red Trolley eats, including $5 fully-loaded egg steamers and $1 Novo-Clover coffee for breakfast, and the just-launched gourmet hot dog bar for lunch. Nitrate-free Trolley dogs (from Denver’s own Continental Sausage) include options from an all-vegan coney dog to a free-range veal brat – and a birthday opp to try the T-dog, a simple and delicious coney, for just $1. Plus, the Trolley’s pastry chef extraordinaire is creating an all new Red Trolley-white-and-blue ice cream flavor (no small feat sans artificial colors) just for the event. The Red Trolley, Highlands’ all-natural dessert boutique, will be open 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Sunday, July 5. Party on.
The search for a fun, wholesome place to take their three children for a treat first inspired longtime Highlands residents Julie and Patrick Shaw to open Red Trolley in 2008, with delectable natural treats free of high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and artificial flavors, and crafted by renowned pastry chef Deanna Scimio Parker. Named 2009 Top of the Town Reader’s Choice for Best Gelato in 5280, the Red Trolley has been featured in media including Westword and The Denver Post. A private room is available for birthday parties and business meetings. For more information, visit www.theredtrolley.com.
