Tomorrow Morning: The Mindful Birder @ Clear Creek Canyon Park
Photos by Joe Wrona
Date: Saturday, November 22 - 8-10AM
Join us on a new take on the traditional guided bird walk— one that focuses less on identifying species and more on observing behaviors. Stop, listen, and learn. Be in the moment! Birding is not only a great way to feel more connected to the outdoors, but also a mindfulness tool that can unlock great mental health benefits. We will have some binoculars to share, but please bring your own if you have them.
Age Group: For birders of all ages, beginners to advanced. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Additional Program Description: Dress for the weather, program will take place entirely outdoors. Bring your own snacks and water.
Free. Registration is required.
Location:
Clear Creek Canyon Park, GATEWAY TRAILHEAD
21100 US Highway 6 (map)

Golden History: Invest Local
Colorado Transcript - November 21, 1929
Click to enlarge
96 Years Ago
The November 21, 1929 Colorado Transcript included this advertisement for Transcript Christmas cards. The 1929 stock market crash had happened the previous month, and the Transcript used that event to continue their on-going campaign telling people to invest (and shop) locally.
In another sign of the times, the telephone company reminded people of the marvels and convenience of having a telephone. They were installing new ones at the rate of 70 per day in their service region (a little less impressive when you consider that their region included Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, El Paso Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Chihauhua in Mexico). Most households were not yet convinced of the need to have a telephone in the house.
Another technological marvel had come to town: the Golden Gem Theater was showing talkies! You can watch the 100 PER CENT TALKING PICTURE that they showed 96 years ago today: Big News.
