 This past weekend saw a huge number of visitors for the USA Pro Challenge bike race and we were proud to show off our beautiful town! Golden represented with style and grace, and a big thanks goes out to all the volunteers and citizens who pitched in to make it such a successful event.
With the bike race behind us, and the Splash closed for the season, it may seem like summer is behind us, but there's still some fun to be had! The final Movies & Music in the Park of the season is this Friday. Last year we were all really disappointed that the screening of Frozen had to be canceled due to weather, so we brought it back this year - and it's a sing-a-long! And make sure you get up early the next morning - the Golden Farmer's Market is not to be missed either. Have a great week!
Your friends at the City of Golden

Safety tips for dealing with rattlesnakes
 If you've seen a rattlesnake around town, you're not alone. According to Jamie Segal, Code Enforcement Officer with the Golden Police Department, the number of snakes seems to cycle up and down each year, and this year has seen an uptick.
The rattlesnakes we have here in Golden are prairie rattlers. They are a fairly non-aggressive species, tending to be much more defensive. If you see one, Officer Segal advises the best thing you can do is leave them alone.
