A great day was experienced by all that participated in this year’s Humbug Open House. Some 77 vehicles were parked in and about the town and estimates this represented approximately 160 + people. Weather and temperatures were perfect and most people brought their own food and non-alcoholic beverages.

TOURS included the ghost towns of Humbug and Columbia including the cemeteries, individual graves and to the Paro Bonito Mine. Plans next year are being considered for learning to gold pan and dowsing. Consideration to have more activities for the children is being evaluated. In addition local song writer and performer may perform during the lunch period. If this was a good one, wait until next year.

We are always in need to a helping hand, if you would like to volunteer to help with this event, or would like to volunteer a special activity that you do, please contact Dave Burns or Neal Du Shane.

A special thank you to all that volunteered and made the 2011 Humbug Open House a tremendous success.
