December 10th &
11th: "An
Old Time Christmas" at the Marshall
Gold Discovery State Historic Park, Coloma, CA (map).
Sat. and Sun. 10AM to 4PM. Throw away the cares of the 21st
century and join us for an old-fashioned Christmas in the heart of
the Gold Country! There's no better way to ring in the holidays. In
this annual family celebration, local volunteers recreate an 1850s
country Christmas. Pick up a freshly-made wreath to decorate your
home, or go to the wreath-making booth and build your own. Costumed
volunteers will be happy to share the art of corn husk dollmaking or
rope making with you and your children, and vendors
will sell you beautiful hand-made crafts and products -- great for
gifts and for your own house.Of course our
old-fashioned Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to talk with your
children. This is the place to get your photographs with Santa! Your
kids can enjoy trying out old-fashioned children's games, including
our pioneer bowling lane. They can also play on our hill of snow
brought fresh from the mountains for their enjoyment! Enjoy 19th
century Christmas programs and plays, and visit the Park's historic
buildings including the blacksmith shop's live demonstrations of
creating ironware. When you get hungry, visit the food
vendors for pioneer cooking or old-fashioned goodies, or try some
fresh, hot roasted chestnuts.
All funds raised over the weekend go right back into programs at the
Park. For more information about the event, call 530-295-2170 or
530-622-3470.
I will be booking my Spring 2012 shows soon, so check back for updates.
