One small note...THIS WEEK only (April 30 - May3,) Tamarac Square is experiencing some plumbing problems that have impacted TACtile and we must close a couple days until the problem is fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience.

What a thrill to get Best of Denver in our founding year! Check out the article on our web home page. It was for Arts & Entertainment. WooHoo!

Stay in touch...and stay tactile!
