A note to my readers: I often hear from readers who think “What’s Happening in Golden?” is produced or sponsored by the City of Golden. Nothing could be further from the truth. I write this blog because I like to know what’s happening in my community, and I find that many others do too. I promote local businesses because people like to hear about things to do, and because it’s good for the local economy. I promote Golden’s cultural organizations because I think they’re essential to the quality of life in Golden and they’re vastly under-appreciated. I tell people what the City boards and commissions are doing because I think it’s far better to know about change before decisions are made, while there’s still time to weigh in on them. I write about Golden history because I find it interesting.
I have some small-ish sponsorship and advertising revenue, but the production, hosting, and maintenance costs far exceed the income–it costs me several thousand dollars a year to produce What’s Happening in Golden. I do it because I enjoy it.
I write another daily email–Golden Business News. That one focuses on a single Golden business every day. The City does sponsor that one, as a way to support local businesses. (See the Golden Business News archive if you want to see typical posts.) People really enjoy that email too, so if you don’t subscribe, I wish you would!

Thanks for following What’s Happening in Golden?. I always enjoy hearing from readers, so contact me any time: barb@goldentoday.com or 303-278-2701.
