Having lots of books and comfortable seating area is always required at a library. Have you checked out the library event calendar? So many fun classes and events on the list and not just for children but for adults too! I signed up ahead of time for an adult "Art Garage" painting class. It was a couple of relaxing hours to learn different painting techniques and make art! All the supplies were included for the class, free! Throughout the month there are different classes each week like tai-chi, meet friends while you knit, gemstone and mineral class, etc. The library is not a quiet boring place!! Attend a class and make new friends! This library in Evergreen has a beautiful setting among the trees and outdoor sculptures! Free parking, and helpful, nice staff members.

This annual home tour raises funds for the Denver School of the Arts. (Yes, this seems odd since…read moreDSA is in Park Hill and this tour takes place on the opposite side of town. But who am I to question such things. It also seems like there's a "the" or two missing somewhere in the name of the tour, but again, I know nothing.) With 9 astounding historic places on the tour this year, I can only imagine that it will be wonderful year after year. It was founded by the owners of the Lumber Baron Inn, which is apparently featured on the tour every year. From their loving and astounding restoration of a previously condemned Victorian on 37th Ave., you know they have an eye for what makes the Highlands area so great. While the wow factor of the homes on the tour was undeniable, I have to be honest and say that the event lacked organization. Given that it is a fundraiser, you have to give some wiggle room for amateur planners, but if they went on other neighborhood tours they might learn a few things: like publicize the same starting time in all advertisements (not 11 am in some places, noon in others), make it clear where and when you can purchase advance tickets (I tried to buy mine directly from the school, prominently listed as a place to buy tickets, and was turned away), get a certain traffic flow going through the homes (present in some, not all). I will say that I spoke with the owners of the Lumber Baron, Julie and Walt Keller, since their number was on the tour's website. They were wonderful to deal with and very kindly helped me out with my ticket snafu although they are not the planners themselves and were in no way responsible. I hope that the planners can work out some kinks in the coming years. But even if they don't, and they keep the same caliber and diversity of homes in the future, I will highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves historic homes, regardless of the inconveniences!

My friends and I were wondering the neighborhood for the highlands garage sale day and came across…read morethe Jewels of the Highlands open house. When we walked up to the house we were asked to put on booties, no big deal, the lady asked to stamp a booklet and we said we didn't have a booklet and they let us in. Little did we know that it was not an open house. We made it nearly to the back of the house on the main floor and another woman host yelled at us from across the room as if we were three adolescents misbehaving. It was so embarrassing to be yelled at by an adult in a public yet in a professional setting. The three of us are homeowners in the neighborhood and were shocked to be treated so rudely by people that share a love for our area. The host rudely demanded that we need to show her our papers and then asked us to immediately leave and not return unless we purchased tickets. She did explain that it was for a fundraiser for Skinner middle school but her tone and approach were completely unprofessional and alarming. Needless to say I will not be purchasing tickets to go to another home show.

The ability to visit properties not usually open to the general public has been very interesting…read moreover the past 22 years, but I feel like the project has run out of steam by now. Most of the spots on the list are repeats from previous years and more than half are architecture firms. I don't find touring architects' offices entertaining or informative. They are all pretty much the same: a few drawings, pictures, or models of projects planned or completed and lots of desks with computers. I don't think the turnout was all that great this year (2026). I noticed that even the signage at each location was minimal compared to the past. Perhaps this program should be given a rest for awhile and the energy to arrange it redirected elsewhere.
