Join the Park County Historical Society on Saturday, September 12th for the next dinner and presentation when Jackie Powell and Gary Higgins will talk about the Snowstorm Dredge.

The Snowstorm Dredge was constructed in the 1930s after most of the gold mining activity in the state had long diminished. Tucked away out and out of sight, between Fairplay and Alma, is the only remaining gold dredge in Colorado. There are only bits and pieces of other gold dredges in the state, but this one is nearly complete.

This event will be held at the Shepherd of the Rockies Lutheran Church located at 106 Rosalie Rd. There is an $8.00 at the door charge. Seniors, 80 years of age and over, are $5.00. Dinner will start at 5:00. The presentation around 5:30.

Jane Gilsinger researched and published the chronology of the Snowstorm Dredge. We will have autographed copies available after the presentation.

In addition, we will also have the newly published books "The Life and Times of Elizabeth Entriken and Joseph Barnett" and the "Images of America - Park County" available.
