| Hello CVB Members and Friends! Here’s a quick update on some of the things we’ve been up to...Calaveras Takes the Gold…Again! Hopefully by now you have heard that Calaveras County took the Gold again at the California State Fair! This year’s theme “Passport to Adventure” played out with a lifted yellow Jeep as the centerpiece of the display. Whimsically spilling out from the Jeep are several Calaveras Adventures. There is also a dedication to Mark Twain where fairgoers can read some of his original writings. We have about 100 volunteers from throughout the County who work the exhibit each day giving out tons of Calaveras literature. Comments so far indicate that attendance this year has surpassed previous years. We have already had visitors at the Visitors Center who came here because of the exhibit. Someone even called and ordered Calaveras t-shirts after seeing them as part of the display! The fair runs through August 1st.... |
