Help Miners Alley Playhouse Move Into the Meyer Hardware Building!
A message from Miners Alley Playhouse:
When we took on the project of remaking the Meyer Hardware Building into a performing arts center for the whole community, one of our major sources of funding was the Colorado Community Revitalization Grant. Originally passed last session with SB21-252, the Community Revitalization Grant program provides vital gap funding for a range of building projects statewide that incorporate or benefit the arts.
The initial round of funding for this grant program ($65 million), administered by Colorado Creative Industries (CCI) in partnership with DOLA, prioritized projects that were shovel-ready to promote immediate economic development through the creative industries.
We applied on time, and our app was scored very highly. But as of March 1st, before they funded our grant, the program ran out of money.There are people lobbying to refund the program, which means we would get our funding. But the legislature needs to hear from YOU to know it’s a priority.
Here’s where you come in…
With just a few clicks, you can send an email through the Colorado Arts Action Network to your state legislators and tell them to add money so that Miners Alley Playhouse has a fighting chance to get our project completed on time!

It’s really easy, but every email sent to our state legislators helps! You can even add your own custom text to the letter to let them know how much Miners Alley Playhouse means to you!

Golden History Moment
40 Years Ago
Homes on either side of Golden Valley were shaken Wednesday afternoon as a series of nine powerful explosions sent shock waves throughout the area. The commotion was caused when northwest area police, under the supervision of demolition-trained FBI agents, detonated two leaking cases of dynamite that were brought to Camp George West.
Golden Transcript – April 27, 1982
Golden and Pleasant View residents were considerably startled by the noise and vibration of the blasts. The FBI had failed to notify either the Golden Police or the Jeffco Sheriff’s Department, so they weren’t sure what to tell residents when the calls began.
Mary Lee Gibson, who lived on the east side of the valley, said the blasting “shook the house and rattled the windows.”
Another resident, who lived on the Lariat Loop on the west side of town said she heard the blasting and could see plumes of dust rising from South Table Mountain. “It made our house tremble. You just wondered what in the Sam Hill is going on…. Definite geysers of soot and debris went up into the air several hundred feet.”
Local police had found the abandoned dynamite and brought it to Camp George West because the FBI was conducting a yearly training class for bomb squads there. The FBI agent, who was based in Washington D.C., hadn’t expect quite so much noise: “…with the mountains here and the echo I was impressed (by sound of explosions).”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
