A favorite way to paint this time of year. This is a mini techniques class in a day of painting watercolors. You will learn start to finish how to paint a note card. We will use wax paper, plastic wrap, tape, a basting brush and more. Come to class and learn. If you need the supplies, there is a $5 materials fee that covers all you need for the day.

Golden History: Jobs in 1933
The Golden Fire Brick company was located near Golden Gate Canyon Road – Golden History Museum collection

91 Years Ago
The November 2, 1933 Colorado Transcript celebrated two local projects that were generating jobs. The nation was in the depths of Depression at the time, and work was hard to find. People were happy to accept temporary jobs.
The first announcement resulted from private industry. A Denver brewery was buying 60,000 fire bricks from Golden Fire Brick. The company planned to hire 14 men for three to five weeks to replenish their inventory.
The second news blast concerned a road project being funded by the Works Progress Administration (WPA).
The first of this week a crew of 30 Jefferson county men started the grading work on 44th avenue, near Mount Olivet cemetery (map). No mechanical equipment is being used, the work all being done by manual labor in order that as many men as possible may be employed.
The project included grading (where necessary), spreading new gravel, and oiling the road. They also planned to widen all bridges to 30 feet. (As a point of comparison, the Ford Street bridge over Clear Creek is about 55 feet wide, or 70 feet including the sidewalks.) There was not enough funding available to improve the road all the way to Golden, but they hoped that more money might become available in the future.
Thank you to Wendy Weiman for sponsoring Golden History Moments for the month of November.
