a glimpse of golden, colorado

The Golden Glass Orb Hunt is a new event in Golden this year! During the month of September, we will place an orb somewhere in the city each day for thirty days, one for each day of the month. Three local artisans handcrafted these one-of-a-kind glass orbs for Golden visitors to find and keep.

Each orb is marked with a special tag and instructions for treasure finders to register their orb at the Foothills Art Center where they will receive a certificate of authenticity. Foothills Art Center is open Mondays – Saturdays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM and Sundays: 12:00 – 5:00 PM. Once you register your orb, you will have the opportunity to enter a drawing to win a $200 gift card to a Golden business of your choosing (odds are 1/30).

A Front Range Colorado band with ties to the US Virgin Islands is throwing a benefit concert for hurricane victims.
Coral Creek, an Americana/ Newgrass band, will perform Friday, Sept. 22nd from 4-8pm at Schnepf’s Restaurant at Fossil Trace Golf Course in Golden to fundraise for people whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Irma.

All proceeds from the free event, featuring a silent auction of donated items, will go to providing food, water, medical supplies and other necessities to Virgin Island residents recovering from destruction wreaked by the most powerful hurricane on record.

Led by guitarist Chris Thompson, a former-resident of the islands, and Bill McKay, whose resume includes Leftover Salmon and The Derek Trucks Band, Coral Creek stages an annual tour of the islands and that Caribbean ambience has inspired several songs on the group’s upcoming album.

The family-friendly event will have a Caribbean theme and will feature island dishes and drinks. Costumes are encouraged.
