Golden History Moment
10 Years Ago
Last night, I was reading through my “What’s Happening in Golden?” posts from 2012–an enjoyable walk down memory lane! Some of the events and businesses are still around, and some aren’t.
- The Kiwanis Club was hosting the 29th annual Den Galbraith wine tasting, to raise money for scholarships for Golden High School graduating seniors. (I don’t think they do that anymore.)
- The Mountaineering Museum was hosting Thirsty Third Thursday, with beer donated by Golden City Brewery. (Ditto.)
- Heritage Square Music Hall was performing their holiday play, “Our Christmas Carol.” (They’re gone.) Miners Alley Playhouse was performing a play titled “Greetings.” (They’re thriving and growing!)
- The Golden Urban Renewal Authority was still operating downtown.
- Spirits in the Wind Gallery was celebrating their 20th anniversary.
- City Council was discussing building a trail on the south side of the Creek.
- Golden Bowl was still in business.
- The Astor House hosted a morning lecture, part of a series called “Freshly Brewed History,” featuring Dr. Tom Noel.
- Dave Powers and his quartet, the Jazz Cats, were playing at several places around town.
- The Railroad Museum hadn’t started doing the Polar Express at that time. Instead, they offered train rides on weekends with Santa Claus receiving visitors in a caboose.
