Meeting Reminder

We (park staff) are feeling like many things are going pretty smoothly for Diggins this year. However, we all know how time slips away with all of the extra details in the final months. So, as a reminder:

Next (and last!) planning meeting is APRIL 12th at 6PM.

On that day at 10 am, we tentatively have planned a really exciting interpretive training with Mary Helmich, which will cover 19th century merchant practices. (How goods were sold, packaged, ledgered, how merchants and customers interacted, how payment was made and taken). This is still pending, but save the date.

Our interpretive workshop dates this year are:
April 26th (Sacramento)
May 10th (4PM)
May 28th (5PM)
May 30th (6PM)

These workshops will be different than in the past, and will be part of how we develop better interactions thoughout the event. We hope to see more news and rumors spreading through town, more common events (trials, worship, story threads, etc), and we want everyone to know how things come and go from the town, how the water company works, and how mail service is conducted. These workshops will be times for us to be able to develop and share some of these very important interpretive elements. Obviously, the 28th & 30th workshops will be more convenient, but probably less in-depth. We'll be happy to see you whichever workshops you can attend.

Other important dates:
May 11th- Canvas up
May 17th- School program leaders/trailers meeting
May 27th 7am, move-in
