The Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering is happening at the American Mountaineering Center this weekend. Plan to attend some or all of their shows for lots of great music and cowboy poetry that is alternately poignant and hilarious. There are evening shows at 7:30 tonight and Saturday night, mini shows throughout the day (10AM to 5PM) both today and tomorrow, and a matinee at 1:30PM Sunday afternoon. On Friday and Saturday they’ll be offering a Chuckwagon lunch from 11AM-1PM.

49 Years Ago
In January of 1971, Golden City Council passed a rezoning ordinance to grant Heritage Square the right to include limited manufacturing facilities. The request was made on behalf of two craft groups, including one that made ice cream. Councilman Frank Leek expressed the fear that this change might attract “an undesirable ‘hippie element.'”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for their work in digitizing the historic Golden Transcripts. Thanks to the Transcript for documenting life in Golden since 1866!

The Golden Chamber of Commerce will be celebrating their 100th Anniversary throughout 2020. Referring back to the Colorado Transcripts from the 1920s, we learn that one of their earliest goals was to get “the cement road” from Denver extended into downtown Golden. The Chamber will kick off their year of celebrations next Thursday (January 23rd) with a Ribbon Cutting and Open House at the Golden Visitors Center.
