OLDE GOLDEN HOLIDAYS CANDLELIGHT WALK & DINE @ THE TABLE MOUNTAIN INN!!

Lets get out, get festive, and enjoy a long-standing Golden, CO tradition: the Olde Golden Holidays! This has become an annual Alpine Adventurers event; it's such a FESTIVE & FUN kick- off to the holiday season! The main bridge spanning Clear Creek, multiple walkways, smaller bridges, and the trees all along the creek are ablaze with 50,000 holiday lights! We'll join fellow revelers, singing Christmas carols as we walk down Washington Ave. to the Clear Creek Bridge, where a lucky child does the honors and flips the switch, illuminating the amazing lights throughout the town. We'll enjoy hot apple cider and roasted chestnuts at the historical cabins area during our walk. Dogs are welcome at the candle light walk; of course, please pick up after your pet.

DINNER:
BEFORE THE CANDLELIGHT WALK, WHICH STARTS AT 6:30 P.M., LETS MEET FOR DINNER/DRINKS AT THE TABLE MOUNTAIN INN, 13TH & WASHINGTON AVE., AT 4:00 P.M. (This is two blocks from the starting spot for the Candlelight Walk). The Table Mtn. Inn serves a variety of delicious Southwestern (and many other) menu choices, along with the best margs in town!

***I'VE RESERVED THE ENTIRE HEATED, COMPLETELY ENCLOSED PATIO SPACE FOR 30 OF US (THE MAXIMUM # OF GUESTS ALLOWED), UNDER 'TRICIA' & 'ALPINE ADVENTURERS'. THIS SPACE WILL BE ALL LIT UP AND DECKED OUT TO BE FESTIVE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
***IMPORTANT: DUE TO LIMITED SPACE, DINNER IS FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVED! IF YOU ARRIVE AND THERE IS NO MORE SPACE, IT WILL BE UP TO YOU TO EITHER FIND ANOTHER SPOT IN THE RESTAURANT TO EAT, OR EAT AT ANOTHER NEARBY RESTAURANT (THERE ARE MANY WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE CANDLELIGHT WALK STARTING POINT), THEN MEET UP WITH THE REST OF OUR GROUP AT WASHINGTON AND 15TH TO BEGIN THE WALK AT 6:30 P.M. OF COURSE, SOME FOLKS WILL JUST WANT TO DO THE CANDLELIGHT WALK, NOT DINNER....AND SOME JUST COME FOR A DRINK & THE WALK. IT'S TOTALLY YOUR CALL!***

FYI: DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE CANTINA, BUT ARE ALLOWED IN THE ENCLOSED, HEATED PATIO SPACE.

AFTER DINNER, WE'LL GATHER OUTSIDE THE TABLE MOUNTAIN INN'S MAIN ENTRANCE AT 6:20 P.M., head two blocks up Washington Ave. to the top of the hill at 15th St. and join the crowd to walk/sing our way down to the Washington Ave. bridge over Clear Creek. After the lighting ceremony at the bridge, we'll walk the many pathways and bridges along Clear Creek, through a winter wonderland! If you want a candle to carry on the walk, the Historical Society (on Clear Creek, next to the main bridge on Washington Ave.) and other vendors throughout town will have them for sale--get there early, they sell out pretty fast.

***With 75 people attending this event, we'll need to spread out on the walk! JUST BE AT THE TOP OF THE WASHINGTON AVE. HILL (Washington & 15th) BY 6:30 P.M. TO MEET UP FOR THE CANDLELIGHT WALK!***
