VAIL Libertarian candidates for the state Legislature are taking their campaigns to a new high.

Lee Mulcahy for State Senate is hosting a fine dining cannabis exploration in the Vail Sonnenalps Garmisch-Munich room.

My populist campaign is about government overreach and making government work for the people, Mulcahy said.

Mulcahy is running to represent Colorados state Senate District 5, seven counties including Eagle and Pitkin. The longtime Aspen resident will be biking over with friends from Basalt.

Thom Haupt is running for the state House District 26 seat, Eagle and Routt counties.

Sundays Fine Dining Exploration will educate diners on the benefits of marijuana and showcase the how marijuana can be incorporated into the fine dining experience. The event will feature recipes from the Food & Wine Fine Dining Cannabis Exploration presented by chef Randy Placeres, of Aspen Culinary Solutions.

Placeres said he will use a variety of infused oils and butters on the food he prepares. The first course, for example, is a yellowtail crudo with coconut-ginger sativa oil.

The THC levels will be minimal, Placeres said.

Government overreach

Mulcahy said its just plain wrong for Colorado to spend more on prisons than higher education.
