Gold Nugget Days celebrate finding a 54-pound gold nugget in 1859. The celebration began in 1959 and has continued every year since. The celebration of the discovery of the Dogtown nugget runs from April 23th through April 26th.
The weight of 54 pounds of gold is worth: $929,331.13
Based upon the current spot gold price of: $1,180.13
Here's a list of the events this weekend:
I went to the Donkey Derby two years ago and I've seen the parade 1 1/2 times. Tomorrow night I'm going to the melodrama. I hear from a very unreliable source (my sister) that the melodrama is really good.
