The Golden Public Library is offering you a wonderful opportunity to explore or improve your writing skills at a series of free workshops at 7 p.m. the second and fourth Thursday of the month, March through May. Professional writers from the Colorado Authors League will conduct the programs to include both lecture and workshop.
Subjects will vary each week, from the opening session on “Writing Your Personal Passion” to magazine writing, poetry, fiction, children’s books and “Finish What you Write and Send it Off.”
Registration is required, and you can do so by e-mailing friends@jefferson.lib.co.us, in person at the Golden library or leave a message at 303-275-2240.
Don’t miss out on launching a new pastime or career. Just bring a pen and writing tablet, and with a little instruction and encouragement, you’ll be on your way to becoming a writer. You might even make a few bucks at it! Sign up today.
Attention, cat lovers
I’m both a dog and a cat lover. Just thought you’d like to know that I enjoy writing and reading about my favorite creatures any chance I get.
Looks like I missed telling you about the recent Denver Dog Show. As a matter of fact, I even missed the show. My excuse — I was sick. But I’m not about to forget that the High on Cats Feline Show is on Saturday and Sunday, March 17 and 18.
More than 200 cats, purebred and household pets, from around the country and Canada will compete in front of 14 judges from the United States and Japan.
The event will be at the Denver Holiday Inn Trade and Convention Center, located at Interstate 70 and Chambers Road.
In addition to seeing those 200 beauties, you’ll enjoy visiting the vendors’ booths, which will be selling feline toys, blankets, clothing and jewelry. Your pet will appreciate samples of goodies from Royal Canin. For more info visit www.highoncats.com.
last days of exhibit
Sunday, March 11, is the final day to view the current exhibit at Foothills Art Center.
Hidden under the title of “REALationships: Works of Surreal Inspiration” are the creations of more than 10 artists, one of which is the Exquisite Corpse. That should be unreal enough to spark your interest.
Foothills is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
