Our first Farmers Market of the year runs this morning from 8-1. We have lots of new vendors lined up this year, so be sure you stop by to discover all the new options! The best place to park is in the long line of spots on 11th Street, by the Clear Creek History Park. Just walk across the pedestrian bridge from there to the Farmers Market!.
Be sure you stop by the library between 10 and 12 if you haven’t yet signed the Jeffco5 Petition. The organizers want to put an issue on the ballot that would give us five county commissioners instead of three, elected at large.
This is the perfect day to walk the Triceratops Trail, a hiking path that runs along the west side of Fossil Trace Golf Course. This trail winds between large, vertical walls of sandstone and into reclaimed clay pits. Guides will be one the trail between 10 and 2 to explain the geology and fossils. Highlights of the trail include dinosaur, bird, mammal, insect and invertebrate tracks and traces, clay mining remnants, as well as several walls full of plant impressions from the tree-lined delta-like environment.

This is a Golden Super Cruise Saturday, so head to South Golden Road to admire hundreds of classic cars! The official cruise runs from 5-9, but the cars start arriving well before noon. If you’re in a hurry and aren’t interested in the cars, use Johnson Road to bypass South Golden Road.
If you’re interested in Electric Vehicles, this is your lucky day. A contingent of electric cars are participating in today’s Super Cruise, and they’ll be congregating in the Golden Real Estate parking lot, 17695 S. Golden Road. This will be a good chance to see a bunch of electric vehicles and talk to their owners, to see how they like them!
