They’ve grown up so fast! You’ve seen the tower from the road--now come inside and see what it’s all about at the 3rd Annual Burro Birthday & Bluegrass Concert, Saturday, August 16. Starting at 10 a.m., there will be gold panning demonstrations followed by a hard rock mining tour, outside machinery operations, a meet and greet with the burros, a steam engine tour, face painting by Glitterific and plenty of food, music, and drink.

 Come early to enjoy these activities to include a birthday cake and sing along with the Museum’s resident burros, Oro and Nugget, followed by a toe tappin’ concert featuring the award winning bluegrass band, Grass It Up, at 1 p.m. This acoustic-based trio plays driving bluegrass with the occasional jazz, blues, Celtic, rock or country tune. The concert is outside in the orchard and dancing is definitely allowed! This event will take place rain or shine. Picnics and lawn chairs are encouraged. Food and beverage vendors will be on site.
