Rain is always welcome in this semi-arid climate, but it does sometimes complicate our social lives. Golden City Brewery has postponed today’s Summer Solstice fundraiser until July 20th. Last night’s carriage rides were canceled–we’ll see whether they can proceed tonight. I’ll post the decision on the Goldentoday Facebook page. Jeffco Open Space’s hike on North Table Mountain has also been canceled.
The Golden Farmers Market will take place this morning, rain or shine. They’ll be at 10th Street and Illinois from 8AM-1PM. The Quilt Museum will be there on behalf of the Golden Cultural Alliance and Golden Real Estate will be the featured Chamber business.
Indoor Events:
Somewhat counter-intuitively, this morning’s “Introduction to Hiking Safely” is an indoor event with the Golden Fire Dept and the Colorado Mountain Club. There are no tickets left, but you can check for cancellations at the Fire Station, 911 10th Street, at 11AM.
