As I mentioned a few days ago, tonight’s 6PM lecture at the Golden History Museum is sold out, but they will have a wait list, starting at 5:30.
Their March 6th lecture is also likely to be popular: The Failed 1976 Denver Winter Olympics. In 1972, Denver became the only host city to reject hosting the Olympic Games. For Colorado’s emerging ski industry, the voters’ rejectio of the Games came as a blow. The state’s burgeoning ski industry joined the U.S. Forest Service in promoting the Winter Games, understanding them as a way to market the state’s burgeoning ski industry to the world, as well as leverage the development of a new ski resort. Yet, voters’ growing concerns over economic and environmental cost led to their rejection of the Olympics and marked the opening of the state’s political fight over growth, the environment, and ski resorts. The lecture will be given by Dr. Michael Childers, author of Colorado Powder Keg: Ski Resorts and the Environmental Movement. Get your tickets now, before those sell out too.
Bell Middle School has an Orchestra concert tonight at 6PM, and a Band concert tomorrow night at 6PM.
The Planning Commission will have a study session tonight at 6:30 in City Council Chambers. They will consider how to bridge the gap between our community plans and our municipal code. They will also discuss ways to conduct calm, productive meetings. See the meeting packet for more info….
