Gold Rush Days comes to a close today, and will culminate with a 3:00 PM parade followed by a free town fish fry.

This magnificent carving is proudly displayed in town. I am interested to note the surname name of the artist, Toth. This was my maternal grandmother's maiden name, and all my family immigrated from Hungary, the one country out of north America where this artist has works displayed.

Earlier this morning, Bob took a drive around taking a few pictures of the area. The rain is steady, the rivers and creeks swollen.

In town, a few items of note stand ready in celebration of the coming parade.

This last picture says it all! We're glad to be here in the rain.
