Our second gathering will be on TUESDAY June 23rd starting at 5 PM. Seating is limited to 36 so you must register. The location of Bear Dance Country Club is 6630 Bear Dance Dr · Larkspur, CO 80118.
One of goals of creating Larkspur4Democracy was to have a social aspect where we could come together as friends and neighbors over a cocktail or meal. We are happy and excited that this has come to fruition!
Thanks to Chris Cote, the organizer of Blue Crew Social, and Danette Swain, our Co-Event coordinator, we are teaming up and launching our second Social on Tuesday June 23rd, from 5-7 p.m. at Bear Dance Golf Club, 6630 Bear Dance Drive in Larkspur. These events will occur monthly on last Thursday of the month but there was a conflict at the venue this month so we had to move it up to Tuesday. Because this venue is space limited, REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!
To register and join us, please click go to : https://www.meetup.com/blue-crew-social-douglas-county-co/events/314614581/ .If you have difficulty, you can email Danette Swain and let her know how many will attend. Her email address is: danette@larkspur4democracy.org .
In case you are not familiar with Blue Crew Social, Chris Cote originally started this group a few years ago in Castle Rock, and it was formerly known as “Eating and Drinking Liberally”. Since last year he has added groups in Sterling Ranch/Roxborough, Lone Tree, Parker, Aurora, and now in our own little town of Larkspur!
What to expect:
The current plan is to meet the last Thursday of the month, schedule permitting at Bear Dance Golf Club. Events run 5-7 pm, but people often linger later. Feel free to come or go as needed.
Drinks, appetizers and dinner may be ordered off the main menu. We also encourage you to tip your servers liberally! First time guests are very much encouraged! About 45 minutes in, we do a welcome, provide some info about the group, point to some activism opportunities or groups to get involved with, and offer a toast on recent news.
How to connect:
You can find Blue Crew Social of Douglas County on Facebook, but Meetup will remain the primary hub for scheduling socials and RSVPs to them.
Come find and enjoy your tribe! As we like to say, “We fight better when we’re friends!”

Flag Day Rally and ICE Scream Social - Larkspur Park
2026-06-14 12:30 - 15:00 | Larkspur Park, 8850 Spruce Mountain Road, Larkspur, CO, 80118, United States
Come join Larkspur4Democracy on Flag Day June 14th at Larkspur Park where we will be taking our flag back from the MAGA false patriots by holding our 3’ x 5’ flags hand-to-hand bordering Spruce Mountain Road. Fifty flags will equate to 250 feet, one foot for every year since our country has been founded. If we have a similar turn-out of 300 people as we did for No Kings 2 and 3, that could be over a quarter of a mile long line of flags! Will you join us in showing our true patriotism to the USA, pre-Trump era? We will not give up and we will regain our democracy by letting our voices be heard as granted by the First Amendment!!
In conjunction with showing our patriotism, we will protest the immoral, harsh, unconstitutional and illegal actions of the corrupt Trump regime. No more ICE detention centers and ICE killings of innocent people. No more ICE funding. Bring a sign to protest any of the horrible actions taken by this regime. We will have a special focus on ICE as we then will have an ice cream (aka ICE Scream) social at pavilion #2 where you can converse with your like-minded neighbors for a relaxing and fun time in the park with music, games and laughter! Participate as you wish and bring your lawn chairs. Drinks, ice cream and other snacks will be provided. And perhaps you will be able to have some cake and eat it too.
We will have extra signs for you to borrow and if you need a 3-foot x 5-foot flag, we will have them for you to keep for a $5 donation to support this event, otherwise it is free. You can also bring your own flag along with friends and neighbors. PLEASE REGISTER so we can get an expected count to be able to bring sufficient ice cream and other snacks/drinks. The Town of Larkspur has approved this event but note the parking restrictions below. REGISTER here on MOBILIZE by pasting the link into your browser:
