Mother Nature cooperated to the fullest and came through with a gorgeous weekend for Gold River Days 2012. Gold River’s Got Talent on Friday night was a hit with participants from all age groups, and Saturday was a fun filled family day in the park. Thanks to Suzanne Trevis for the Talent Show videos and to Lee Yateman for the parade video!

Via Sheila Bugar: I was contacted by Dave Kornylo to help find monitors for checkpoint #4 during the Great Walk on Saturday June 2nd. The person in charge of that checkpoint is in the hospital and it’s a checkpoint that counts and records all the people going through. They already have two people but they desperately need at least two to four more people. It would involve getting to the checkpoint before 3am (as the Walk starts at 4am) and staying until the last walker has gone through which could be around 10am or later. (Volunteers can camp out there with a trailer as well if they like!) If you are able to help, please call Dave Kornylo @283-9160. Email This Post to a Friend
