Gold Nugget Museum presents Paradise California - Gold Nugget Dogtown Revue 2010
Friday, April 23 / 7:00 PM Saturday, April 24 / 7:00 PM
It all began in April of 1859 when Willard Mining Company was operating on a claim just below Sawmill Peak. Chauncey Wright, a miner with the company, had washed out a nugget larger than any he had ever seen . It was the largest pure solid gold ever found in California. The people of Dogtown celebrated for three days and nights.
Now the Gold Nugget Museum continues to celebrate this event with many activities including a parade, a children’s costume contest, a bean feed, pancake breakfast, a spaghetti dinner, a donkey derby, plus many activities at the museum. The Law Dawgs and Pistolers will be performing along with Tent City on the museum grounds. There are more than 20 events to participate in. One of the highlights this year will be held at the Performing Arts Center on April 23 and 24, 2010. There will be the Dogtown Revue where many of the very talented persons on the ridge (including my mom, Sally Vertrees) will be entertaining with a variety of acts from singing and dancing to a ventriloquist.
