On Thursday, April 19th, the Colorado School of Mines will be hosting "An Evening in the Park." This event is sponsored by Mines Athletics, and the NCAA. It is a time for the Mines community and the Golden community to come together and enjoy free events and food.
Evening in the Park will be held on Kafadar Commons from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Many local businesses will be there, giving away free food or prizes. There will be other events, games, and music from Flywheel.
This is the first year that Mines has been asked to host an Evening in the Park. The NCAA annually picks five Division 2 schools to showcase the relationship between the Athletics Organization and the community in which they operate. This year, Mines was one of the lucky five.
"It's like the reverse of the pizza party that we have with Golden in the fall," says Derek Morgan. He means that in the fall, the Mines community descends into Golden, to eat pizza and mingle with the Golden community. This time, Mines is inviting the Golden community onto campus, to mingle and enjoy various activities.
While all events are free, some booths will offer attendees a chance to make a donation. These donations go to the Make-a-Wish foundation.
Events include: kiddy train rides, climbing wall, horse drawn carriage rides, panning for gold, face painting, balloon animals, and pictures with Blaster, Buffalo Bill, and Annie Oakley.
Come out and enjoy the fun!
