for our 44th Annual Gala & Auction on Saturday, October 12, 2019!

For more than 43 years the Golden Civic Foundation’s Annual Gala & Auction has been “THE” event of the year for active members of the community who love Golden. This year’s “Giddy Up Gala, A Night of Boots, Bourbon and Beer” will take place on Saturday, October 12th at the Colorado School of Mines’ Lockridge Arena and will be emcee’d by Paul Andrews, the President & CEO of the National Western Stock Show and a fourth generation Golden ranching family descendant. The evening will include dinner, a cash bar, exciting live and silent auctions and western entertainment by Buckstein band.

As with past Galas that celebrate Golden’s past, this year the Foundation will highlight Golden’s western heritage from the 1880’s through the 1920’s and will feature stories about several very colorful characters from Golden’s past including: the ultimate tough guy, Sheriff Clarence Patee Hoyt, who eventually moved on from Golden to become the Superintendent at the Colorado State Penitentiary; two of the ill-fated members of the Musgrove gang that met their demise at the raucous Jack Hill Saloon (now the Buffalo Rose); brothers Chick and Pete Morrison exceptional horsemen/ranch hands who were discovered by Hollywood and went on to star in more than 100 Western movies between them; and, three multi-generational Golden-based ranching families who helped grow Golden into what it is today.
