30 years ago – August 24, 1984
There were 13 bands and five performers that participated in the eighth annual Central City Jazz Society in co-operation with the Central City Business Association and the Denver Jazz Club. Coors was not a sponsor as it had been in the past. The festivities began each day with a parade, starting at the Opera House and proceeding through Central City streets. The Platte River Jazz Band provided entertainment in Williams Stables Saturday which enticed two individuals to dance. One of the larger bands that performed was the Hot Tomatoes Dance Orchestra. One of the members, Ron Cope, entertained the audience at the Gilded Garter on Saturday. The trumpet played by Steve Bauman of the Queen City Jazz Band could be heard throughout the streets as out-of-doors entertainment was provided in the Glory Hole Garden.
At the school board meeting on Tuesday, superintendent Meyers informed the school board that he had requested a proposal from Gilpin County Construction to build a bus barn. The proposal included two bays, insulation and a cement floor, but did not include electricity or heating. He added that the proposal is good for 60 days. Board members asked why Meyers had requested the proposal. Meyers responded that it was requested “in reference to the board’s goals.” No action was taken by board members in regard to the proposal and it was agreed that they would not seek any other bids at this time.
