If you have elementary school-aged children, take them to JOY (Jamboree for Outstanding Youngsters) today from 10AM-2PM on the School of Mines campus. This free event offers fun STEM-related activities and games. This year’s theme is Dinosaurs. This year, Reading Partners is hosting a children’s book drive. If you have any used books you would like to donate please bring them and help kids in under-resourced classrooms learn to read! The event has moved from the IM fields, where it was held last year, to Kafadar Commons on the central campus. Learn more….
Golden Moon Speakeasy is celebrating their 4th anniversary today from 4-11PM, with live music by Weatherbee and the Gnarbillys from 8-11PM.
Daylight Savings Time starts tonight, at 2AM. I was surprised when this week’s newsletter from the City called Daylight Savings Time “a drawback” that comes with spring. I love having more daylight in the evenings, and it had never occurred to me that anyone would feel otherwise!
Anyway, remember to set your clocks forward tonight, especially if you have to be somewhere tomorrow morning.
The Quilt Museum will have “Sunday at the Museum” tomorrow from 2-4PM, and it sounds like a good one: Story Quilts of Jewell Work, Women of the Plains—Native Blackfeet Women of Northern Montana, Cir. 1800s. The Blackfoot Indians live across the plains of Montana, the Dakotas and Canada – and have been there for some 10,000 years. Women of the Plains (Indians) is a storyquilt devoted to the women who mitigated – softened – the hardness of life on the plains. During courtship, marriage and children, life and death, suicide and war, the burden of keeping the family alive fell mainly on the shoulders of the women. RMQM members admitted free. Nonmembers are $10/person. Admission includes museum admission and refreshments. Doors open at 11AM. Program begins at 2PM. Reservations are helpful but not required. Please call 303-277-0377 and tell us you’re coming! Learn more….
