ASK A VENDOR THIS COLUMN IS A PLACE FOR DENVER VOICE VENDORS TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS FROM FELLOW VENDORS, OUR READERS, AND STAFF. THIS MONTH’S SUGGESTED QUETIONS WAS POSED BY DENVER VOICE VENDOR RAELENE JOHNSON Q Do you do anything to celebrate the end of summer or what are you most looking forward to this autumn? A WAYNE EASTERLING I am looking forward to the end of summer because tI will be going out of town to visit my son and grandson. I haven’t seen them in two years. We have a lot to catch up on. I’m also looking forward to winter, because the streets and the city are cooler then. RAELENE JOHNSON The only thing I’m looking for this fall is to have no more medical problems. That would be the best fall I could imagine. CHARLES SPRING I’m looking to the cooler weather in the autumn, when I can take an evening walk to the park and also to see the colors of the leaves change. JERRY ROSEN I enjoy when the wether gets cooler toward the end of the summer. I look forward to seeing the beautiful foliage on the leaves in autumn. It is especially beautiful on the East Coast, where you can see different colors like red, orange, and purple.
