Good morning, Golden! This week’s issue includes restaurant deals, early Irish stouts & celebrations(St. Patrick’s Day is next Tuesday), spring break camps, and a mysterious Australian-themed ladies night that lacks a detailed description but I feel compelled to mention. 😉

Also, my friend Luke from Bike Walk Golden shared a community conversation event about “E-bikes in Golden” 🚲️ happening Tuesday at Mountain Toad. Whether you’re an e-bike baddie (did I use that correctly, Gen Z?) like myself or one of those impressively in-shape cyclists who pedals uphill on purpose, come grab a drink and check it out!

Insert random musings here… 👉 sometimes I catch myself thinking, “How cool is it that no matter the month, we have so much going on in Golden?!” It really is a special place with so many fun, unique ways to learn or connect. Perhaps I’m feeling extra contemplative after my first memoir class this past week. Special shoutout to Angela who heard about the class from the Goose and signed up! 🎉

And in case you don’t make it to the end of everything happening this week, here’s a quick 1⃣ one-question survey. It’s an open, anonymous space to share ideas, suggest events, or gently honk at me if I missed something worth knowing about. Thanks in advance!
