Highlands Ranch Days Take a trip back in time through the history of Colorado and Highlands Ranch at Highlands Ranch Days, returning for its seventeenth year. This three day event brings the old west to life at the historic Highlands Ranch Mansion with gold panning, pottery, a petting zoo, llamas, Indian fry bread, fur trapping, and more! Pack a picnic to enjoy on the mansion lawn while you enjoy shows from HawkQuest and Native American Dancers. Take part in hands-on exhibits and a mansion tour and view historical artifacts presented by the Highlands Ranch Historical Society. In addition, horse drawn hay rack rides will provide views of the ranch not typically seen by the public. The Gold Prospectors of the Rockies have been an exhibitor for six years now and provide gold panning presentations to event attendees. They use real gold to demonstrate what it looks like and how the “old timers” did it. “When people who have never seen it done before first see that bright yellow gold, the looks on their faces is priceless! That never gets old!” said Jim Long from Gold Prospectors of the Rockies. The event runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on September 7-9. On Thursday and Friday local schools are invited to bring school children for a fun and informative field trip that showcases Colorado history. Families are welcome to attend all days of the event.
