Rex Ruth as Fremont

Thursday, 21 May 2009 05:17 Lois Fortress

Fremont The first of the five Summer Performance Series was held Saturday evening, May 16.

The audience enjoyed Rex Ruth and Janna as the performance took them back into three specific moments in time...

Lt. Col. Fremont at the end of the War with mexico, 1846
Senator Fremont just before leaving to ratify California constitution, 1850
Major General Fremont sent to California by President Lincoln, 1862

We appreciate this generous contribution of the Ruth's to provide such a gift of education and entertainment to help raise funds to continue the educational and interpretive programs at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park.

The next event is June 20, 7:30 to 9:00 pm, and will be a play by the Cemetery Players. These actors provide a peek into history with life stories of some of the people buried in the Coloma cemeteries. Since this event is in the Emmanual Church, seating will be limited to 150 people. Get your tickets early at the Mercantile to ensure a seat in the church.
