62 Years Ago
On Friday the 13, 1964, the Golden Gardeners Club received a $300 grant from Sears, Roebuck to be used for a community beautification project. Inspired by that gesture, the Golden Kiwanis, Lions and Optimists Clubs, Adolph Coors Co. and Mr. Leonard Vogel also contributed to the fund.
Golden had built a new City Hall in 1961, and it was thus far unlandscaped. The club used the money to plant trees, bushes and lawn around the new building.
Friday the 13th was far from unlucky for the Golden Gardeners. That is the day that the local garden club received a $3OO grant in the community beautification program sponsored by the Colorado Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. and Sears, Roebuck and Co.
