Day 268 of 365 Days of Boulderado Photos ~ Salt and Pepper Shakers

It's the day before Thanksgiving, and our catering department is hard at work inside the kitchen and out in preparation for tomorrow's buffet. Even the salt and pepper shakers are lining up to march!

Thanksgiving at the Boulderado

In case you haven't heard, Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Our buffet has been sold out for over a week and a half, and we're expecting about 450 people to enjoy their Thanksgiving dinner with us. Our Thanksgiving buffet dinners have been taking place for over 20 years, but even when the hotel was much younger, people have made a tradition of taking dinner at the Boulderado. The menu to the left (found at the Carnegie Library for Local History) is from 1926 and shows what was offered on Thanksgiving -- Roast Young Turkey with Oyster Dressing, Snow Flake Potatoes, Candied Sweet Potatoes, and Hot Mince Pie, among other items. And it only cost $1!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November at the Boulderado

November is another extraordinarily busy month at the Boulderado. Here's what's happening:

• Sunday, November 8th is our annual Bridal Show. If you plan on attending, there's still time to pre-register. Stop by to visit some of Colorado's top wedding vendors -- florists, bakers, and invitation makers galore! There's no charge for admission, and one lucky person will win $3000 off his or her Boulderado reception.
• Don't feel like cooking a big meal for Thanksgiving? Or maybe you just dread the thought of all those dishes? Either way, if you attend our Thanksgiving Buffet, we will do the hard work for you, letting you focus on the most important things about the holiday -- spending time with loved ones (and eating).
• Every year, the Boulderado hosts a Teddy Bear Tea which benefits The Children's Hospital. This year, it is being held on Saturday, November 28th. The Teddy Bear Tea is our most popular holiday tea, and just a few reservations are still open, so call today if you'd like to attend! Each child under the age of 12 who comes will take home a teddy bear with them.
  
• The Teddy Bear Tea also kicks off our holiday tea series. Every weekend and for a few weekdays leading up to Christmas, you can enjoy classic tea service on our Mezzanine.
