Frontier roots
Today. Learn how to make butter, beat rugs and clean laundry just like Colorado’s early settlers did in the late 1800s, at the Clear Creek History Park. Located in downtown Golden, the park’s “Past Pursuits” event at Pearce Cabin re-creates the look and feel of a frontier ranch complete with gardens, a working blacksmith shop, schoolhouse and chicken coop. New activities happen each weekend throughout the summer. Suggested admission is $5. 923 10th St. (11th and Arapahoe streets), Golden. Details at 303-278-3557 or . Photo by Scott Dressel-Martin
Reel me in
Today. Kids ages 2 through 14 can test their fishing skills during Northglenn’s “Kids Fishing Derby” at Webster Lake, at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, 117th Avenue and Community Center Drive. Last year, 8-year-old Tristin Meastas of Thornton caught a 20.5-inch bass that weighed 6.5 pounds, above. Check-in is at 8 a.m., with awards presented at 11 a.m. to those who catch the longest fish. Entry fee is $4 per child. Participants are asked to bring their own poles, tackle and bait. For more information, call 303-450-8800. Photo: Northglenn Kids Fishing Derby
