Denver one of three finalists for massive Outdoor Retailer trade shows

The cultural argument — moving the show to a state where both politicians and residents celebrate federal public lands — is a key component of Denver’s bid, which also includes a request to host Emerald’s annual Interbike cycling industry trade show.
