Washington’s Birthday and Goldentoday’s Anniversary

*Celebrate **Washington’s Birthday** by reviewing 100+ years of Washington Avenue photos.*

Today is a Federal holiday, so we won’t receive mail today.

Today’s Heart and Soul of Golden event is the Winter Day Camp offered by Dinosaur Ridge.

Speaking of Day Camps, this is the time of year when parents begin the frantic–and sometimes competitive–process of lining up summer camps for their kids. For a list of the Golden-based camps, check our Camps and Classes page.

Since Goldentoday is a member of the Golden Cultural Alliance, I’ll seize this opportunity (slow news day) to mention that this month marks the 13th Anniversary for Goldentoday.com!

I began the website and email with the desire to help Golden’s cultural organizations. In 2007, there was no single, reliable place to help spread the word about their events, so I created this one. At that time, there was still a strong push to help downtown Golden recover its economic strength, so I began promoting businesses as well. Eventually I began paying more attention to the business of the city. It seemed that citizens never learned about changes until it was too late to comment on them. For that reason, I began summarizing the agenda for upcoming meetings. Most recently I’ve been sharing interesting vignettes from Golden history.

Such obsessively-local news isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it seems to appeal to many. As of this morning, I have 940 subscribers. I hope to reach 1,000 this year. Please encourage your friends to subscribe!

11AM-10PM Make It Count MAGIC Monday at the Buffalo Rose (map)
Consider eating at the Buffalo Rose today. From 11AM-10PM, if you mention the Golden Backpack Program, the restaurant will donate 15% of your bill to this worthy organization. From 6-8PM, a magician will be entertaining the diners.
