Riverdale Golf Courses
13300 Riverdale Road, Brighton
Deep in the sandy dells of Adams County lies a pair of 18-hole golf courses that really make it worth navigating the tangle of highways around Brighton. The Dunes is a Scottish-links-
style course. The Knolls is less challenging but is still a fun round of golf. Call 303-659-6700 or visit riverdalegolf.com for tee times and directions.
LYRICAL LYRE
Ellie Caulkins
Opera House
Denver Performing Arts Complex, 14th and Champa streets, Denver
We’re already singing the praises of the lyre- shaped opera house built inside the shell of the old Auditorium Theater. But you can listen for yourself today at noon, when the ribbon is cut and the world-class performance space is christened by groups including the Denver Municipal Band and the Denver Young Artists Orchestra.
LIVE ART,
CHEAP EATS
Maroon Bells Festival of Color
Aspen Highlands Village
Nearly 50 local
artists paint, carve, sculpt, pot and weld en plein air from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday while the Lone Pine Bluegrass Band plays and restaurants serve cheap grub. Toss a few bucks in to support the Aspen Youth Experience, or wander over to the Willow Creek Bistro booth for a cup of New Orleans gumbo; the $5 you fork over goes to hurricane relief.
