The library is open again!
That's good news for those of us who
have been driving to Lakewood,
BelMar, or other libraries for the
past couple of months. It also
means that the library's regular
events, such as their
"UFO" sessions,
Intercambrio/Language Exchange, and
library book club can happen in the
library, instead of the
Mountaineering Center. The
renovation has left us with some
nice results, including more
self-checkout stations and the
ability to get your own books from
the hold area.
| The next big public event
will be the Lions Club 4th
of July celebration in Lions
Park, at 10th and Illinois. The party begins
at noon and culminates in
fireworks. There are
FREE rides for the kids, and
of course the Lions Park
playground is
available. It's a
lovely park for a picnic,
with a small pond and giant
cottonwoods. The creek
will probably be full of
kayakers--always fun to
watch. Bring your own
picnic food or buy some from
the vendors. The
fireworks begin shortly
after sundown. |
|
|
In the hours before sundown, you
might want to walk through the
downtown area. Both Clear
Creek Books and Vintner's Cellar are
offering live music. The new
ice cream shop, Golden Sweets, will
no doubt be doing banner
business. And if you're not
really the picnic type, all of the
downtown restaurants will be open to
provide a cooking-free 4th of July!

Things to do This Week in Golden |
-
Matt
& Ben
MATT & BEN depicts
its Hollywood golden
boys – before J-Lo,
before Gwyneth, before
“Project Greenlight,”
before Oscar…before
anyone actually gave a
damn.
When the screenplay for
Good Will Hunting drops
mysteriously from the
heavens, the boys
realize they’re being
tested by a Higher
Power. This
irreverent look at
Hollywood's elite will
leave you gasping for
air as you laugh the
night away!
Fridays and Saturdays at
7:30pm and Sundays at
6:00pm.
