Monthly Summary of Events in Golden – April, 2023

Downtown Golden with leaves starting to come out on the trees.
Downtown Golden – April 1, 2012 – Spring is Coming (Really!)

Dear Readers,
I’m trying something new this month: sending the monthly preview as a separate, stand-alone document. This is to make it easier for you to see what’s coming over the next month. On an on-going basis, you can always check the online GoldenToday calendar to see the upcoming events.

Happy April!
Barb
