A Blast from the Fairly Recent Past and the End of 2020’s Heart and Soul Month

If you find this daily email valuable, please consider sponsoring us for the month of March. Many thanks to our February sponsors!


Golden (Recent) History Moment:

Before February ends, I thought I’d post a blast from the past: Scrambowl photos! For several years, the Chamber of Commerce sponsored this event every February at the now-gone Golden Bowl. It was a fund-raiser to help pay for holiday lights along South Golden Road. Golden businesses, non-profits, and government departments formed teams and competed. Goldentoday’s team consisted of my then-teenaged daughter and her friends, and two years in a row we won the “worst team” trophy. A great source of pride!
