Violets are blue
Golden's people make the City great
Just by being you!
A couple of weeks ago,
Golden was selected as one of Trip Advisor's 23 Great American Small Cities to Visit in 2018. It was acknowledgement of a fact most of us live with everyday - Golden is a pretty awesome place to live, work and play in. The location can't be beat, we have tons of parks and more than our fair share of outdoor beauty all around. Also, few towns feature such a unique and inviting downtown area. But the best part, and the real heart of our community, is the people who live here. So today, Valentine's Day, we'd like to say thank you for caring about Golden and making it one of the "Great American Small Cities to Visit" in this, or any year. We love you right back!
Keep reading for more happening in Golden, and have a beautiful week!
