roughout the summer, many Parker residents look forward to Wine Walks. It means coming together for an evening of socializing and a little wine tasting. However, the Parker Chamber of Commerce has canceled the event . e cancellation follows a complaint an unknown party led with the state Liquor Enforcement Division about a recent Wine Walk. State o cials are not saying much about the case. Daniel Car, communications director with the Colorado Department of Revenue, only called it an “active investigation” and said the department cannot comment further.

Meanwhile, the chamber responded by taking the walk scheduled for July 28 o the calendar.

Chamber of Commerce President and CEO T.J. Sullivan said the situation is regrettable.

“It’s very disappointing for everyone involved, especially the downtown businesses that gained so much from the interaction with hundreds of new customers,” Sullivan said.

People who take part in the Wine Walks must be 21, the legal minimum drinking age. Each person receives a wine-tasting glass and wristband with 10 tabs. Each tab is redeemable for a 1 ounce pour at any of the participating locations.
