Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Buy Local! (goldentoday.com) — Golden residents get a timely reminder of the town's long-running "buy local" tradition, stretching back to 19th-century Colorado Transcript campaigns urging people to support hometown shops instead of Denver or mail-order catalogs. The piece connects that history to today, encouraging you to keep your spending with Golden merchants to strengthen local businesses and community life.
2. 6-8PM Jefferson County Commissioner Candidate Forum and Meet & Greet (goldentoday.com) — Golden residents can meet Jefferson County candidates in person at a free commissioner forum and meet-and-greet tonight from 6–8 p.m. at Common Flame on West 32nd Avenue. Co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters, the event offers live Spanish interpretation, a livestream of the forum, and a chance to hear directly from those seeking key county offices.
3. Colorado's 'Polar Express Train Ride' returns for the holiday season (9news.com) — Golden's Colorado Railroad Museum is bringing back its popular Polar Express Train Ride this November and December, with 90-minute shows featuring hot chocolate, Santa, and historic steam locomotives. Tickets, which range from about $80 to $100 with several seating options, are expected to sell out quickly, so local families are urged to reserve early online.
4. 10 haunted ghost tours you'll find around Colorado (denvergazette.com) — Golden gets a spooky spotlight in this roundup of Colorado ghost tours, featuring the local "Murder, Mayhem, and Madness" walk, a two-hour, one-mile trek through town's darker history. Alongside tours in Morrison, Arvada, Denver, and beyond, it's a chance for Golden residents to explore eerie stories and paranormal lore practically in their own backyard.
5. Wyoming basketball family rallies around Josh Davis after cancer diagnosis (oilcity.news) — Former University of Wyoming basketball star Josh Davis, who now lives in Golden with his family, is undergoing intensive chemotherapy for a rare mantle cell lymphoma. Friends, former teammates, and fans are rallying with visits and fundraising support, while Davis leans on his coaching mindset to stay positive and focused on living fully through long-term treatment.
