If you'd like to learn more about the program, join them at a meet and greet at Golden City Brewery on June 24th, 5-6:30PM.

Golden History: Spectator Event at Camp George West

92 Years Ago
The June 14, 1934 Colorado Transcript announced plans for a “big sham battle” at Camp George West. The public was invited to watch the event from a safe remove, on top of South Table Mountain. “Shooting Starts at 1:30 p.m. June 16.”

There were 1,900 men in the camp at that time, and the planned “battle” would include infantry and tank maneuvers, supported by field artillery and a squadron of airplanes from Lowry Airfield.

Spectators were encouraged to use Quaker Road to drive to the summit of mountain. “On the slopes of this mountain thousands will have a complete view of the entire battle to be waged along a mile and one half front.”

The following week’s paper reported that “The thousands who witnessed the sham battle fought at Camp George West last Saturday now appreciate the importance of preparedness. This feature was so successful it will probably become an annual event.”
