Time for a Cricket burger! Free parking today in Cherry Creek North

Get an early holiday gift in Cherry Creek North today: free parking. Thanks to Prestige Audi, parking will be free all day -- for the first time since parking kiosks were installed in that shopping district (excepting Sundays, of course). And parking enforcement officers will even be on hand to remind people not to pay -- and to hand out parking tokens for future visits.

To fuel yourself for shopping, think about parking close to the Cherry Cricket, where a Cricket burger (one our best burgers) and a few beers should put you in the proper holiday spirits.

The free parking deal will continue through the Candlelight Stroll, which runs from 6-8 p.m. tonight. Participating stores will be offering holiday treats and specials.

And on Saturday, November 20, the NorthCreek parking garage will be offering free parking, too. For more information on Cherry Creek North's Yuletide Project, visit www.cherrycreeknorth.com.
