In the back right corner of the wood-paneled Denver Room at Shakespeare’s Pizza, former state Rep. Ted Farnen wore sunglasses matching former Vice President Joe Biden’s trademark aviators. They also matched the image on the “Biden” pin on his lapel.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, only a handful of delegates and supporters were allowed in the room at once. Socially distanced from one another, they conversed through their masks, only taking them off to take a bite of garlic bread or a sip of beer or soda.
