Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said participating in Mile High Holidays helps bolster the local economy.
"When you shop locally, it creates jobs and helps sustain jobs. Of course it helps us do a lot more in the city, whether it's providing for our police and fire and emergency response (and) our roads. So it's important so as we all go out to purchase stuff for the holidays to buy locally," Hancock said.
