Another good weekend
coming up. This will
be a First Friday, so the
downtown merchants will be
offering lots of free live
music and
refreshments. In
addition to the usual
First Friday stuff, the
Chamber will be hosting
the annual Block Party,
which is held in the
parking lot between 12th
& 13th on
Arapahoe. Free hot dogs provided by MillerCoors, music, free horse-drawn carriage rides, local business booths, free Chipmunk Express train rides, plus all the First Friday events at merchants up and down Washington Avenue and its side streets.
Saturday is the 4th of
July, and as you would
expect, Golden does a
thorough job of
celebrating it. The
Lions Club hosts an
event in (where else?)
Lions Park. There
are festivities all day,
with live entertainment,
food vendors, and FREE
rides for young
children. After
dark--the fireworks!
This is also the
weekend for the Golden
Super Cruise, so we'll
have lots of classic cars
to ogle on Saturday.
