Jeffco Crew #076 - Line Dancing, Fine Arts & Gold Coins

Last weekend we stopped into the reptile show at Jeffco Fairgrounds and saw about a thousand snakes and lizards, and now my kiddo wants a lizard so we'll see how that plays out.

This weekend we'll definitely be stopping by the Golden Fine Arts Festival, one of my favorite annual events in the area.

We also might go paint a spur the the Golden Hotel because they're putting them into the newly renovated hotel rooms and it might be cool if my son went and found a spur he painted at six years old in a few decades...

And finally we might check out the 5th Annual Boogie on the Hill Live Music Festival - it was moved from Lyons due to fire risk, now hosted by New Terrain and free to attend!

Let's get into it.
