Today, 11th annual Great U.S. 50 Yard Sale, U.S. 50 and some off-highway locations from Maryland to California
Can I get a better price on that?
This enormous pre-Memorial-Day-weekend tradition encompasses Bent County, Chaffee County, Delta County, the city and county of Denver, Fremont County, Gunnison County, Mesa County, Montrose County, Otero County, Prowers County and Pueblo County. Highway 50 threads through most, but not all, of the participating counties.
Par for the course
Olde Golf Course, 2115 West 29th St., Loveland; 970-667-5256,
50 years of fairways.
What’s the best beverage to celebrate a golf course’s 50th anniversary? Tee. This year, Loveland’s Olde Course celebrates its golden anniversary with events including a contest for golfers age 55 or older: The first to record a verifiable hole-in-one on the eighth hole gets a $500 coupon to the pro shop.
Swing time
Giant canyon swing, Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park, Deveraux Road at Two Rivers Plaza Road, Glenwood Springs; 970-945-4228,
Not just for the whee! ones.
Here’s one for the bucket list: The new giant swing goes more than 40 miles per hour, 1,300 feet over the Colorado River. It hangs from a pneumatically powered arm instead of cables, lifting passengers a little higher than 90 degrees. Cost of swing and tram ride only: $9; it’s also included in the park’s $39 day pass.
