The Golden Police Department is participating in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back tomorrow from 10AM-2PM. This is a great chance to get potentially dangerous drugs out of the house. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. Bring your unneeded prescriptions to the Police Department at 911 10th St. (map).
Don’t forget your SECOND LAST CHANCE to visit the Golden Mill! A few Golden kids have asked the Mill to host a donations drive for Foothills Animal Shelter, so they will be open from 10AM-2PM. The Golden Mill still has a variety of wet and dry dog food and cat food, treats, poultry supplies, supplements, horse tack/supplements/blankets, tank heaters, bird feeders, gloves, remaining animal feed, stock tanks and large animal feeders, and all racking/display grids/shelving/tables (note: all sales are final). Stock up on your own pet needs and buy a few extras to donate to Foothills Animal Shelter. The Golden Mill is located at 1012 Ford Street (map).
The CSM Geology Museum is having a Book and Garage Sale this weekend, Saturday 12-4 and Sunday 9-4PM. Visit the museum (1310 Maple St.) for great deals on rocks and minerals, books, maps, journals, fossils, etc. For more information call 303-273-3815.
The Golden History Roundtable will take place at the Golden Library (1019 10th St. – map) from noon to 1:30. Last month Barb Warden told us about Golden in the 19th Century, and this month she’s covering Golden in the 20th and 21st Centuries. Come hear about a time when we had a narrow gauge railroad, incline railways up both Castle Rock and Lookout Mountain, and two commuter rail lines running from downtown Golden to downtown Denver. Learn about the fabled swimming pool under the dance floor at the Buffalo Rose. Hear how Golden weathered Prohibition, two World Wars, the Great Depression, and the Baby Boom. Questions? Contact the facilitator, Barb Warden, at 303-278-2701 or barb@goldentoday.com.
