Sutter Creek is an ideal location for a reenactment of a nineteenth century holdup. Dubbed “One of the best preserved towns in California’s Gold Country” by Sunset Magazine, Main Street will look familiar to “Black Bart” (as portrayed by Larry Worman). Balconied buildings still shade familiar characters dressed in period attire. Even the authentic horse-drawn stage (Made by Ron Scofield) rides down Main Street to be robbed by Black Bart at 10 A.M., noon and 2 and 4 P.M. daily.
There’s fun for the whole family all weekend. Sierra Six Guns, a Western theatre group, will put on shoot outs and antics on Main Street . The Kit Carson Mountain Men’s encampment on Randolph Street shows off their expertise with tomahawks.
Western music fills the air and artists are on hand to showcase their talents. Learn about gold fever and try your luck panning at Sutter Gold Mine exhibit on Randolph Street. Children of all ages will enjoy up-close- and-personal looks at the stagecoach, wagons, horses, and champion steers. Old time Childrens Games will be held on Spanish Street.
Saturday night mosey on over to the auditorium for a BBQ Dinner, Dance and fun! The Auditorium will be set up as an "Old West Town". Complete with a Saloon, Chuck Wagon, Card Room, Antique Portrait Photo Studio, and Jail House....watch out for the Sheriff....you just might get locked up!
An overnight stay at one of the local inns allows you a chance to wander leisurely through one-of-a-kind shops, past historic Monteverde Museum and Knight Foundry, and along tree-shaded streets. Then you can join the festivities for another day of fun! |
