This is the last weekend to order peaches from the Golden Rotary Club. These are exceptional peaches, brought specifically for Rotary from an orchard on the west slope. The cost is $38 for a 20 lb. box (approximately 30-40 large peaches). The proceeds go to Rotary’s many, many charitable projects, including the Golden Backpack Program, the Holiday Miracle Shop, the Holiday Food Box Project, and the Community Wellness Fair. Peach pick-up day is next Saturday, August 17th. Order now, or you’ll have to wait another year for the Rotary Peach Sale!
I rarely recommend that anyone leave the Golden city limits. Today is an exception. Golden used to be served by two interurban rail lines. One went through Arvada and the other through Lakewood. Commuter rail service throughout the Denver metro region was discontinued in 1950 and most of the streetcars were scrapped. Fortunately, one of the cars that served Golden was preserved by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club. They’ve worked for many years to restore the car to its 1911 appearance. At that time, the line was known as the Denver & Interurban RR. The restored car is kept at the Denver Federal Center. Once a year, they hold an open house so the public can see the car and ride on it. Today is the day, from 10AM and 4PM! Learn more….
