Saturday the village was filled with visitors as they came to enjoy Gold Rush Days. We had “the airing of the quilts” with over 100 quilts displayed on the fences throughout the village, an authors festival, and crafters throughout the village.
Frankie Harrison-December 25, 1943 – April 29, 2012
It is unimaginable thinking of Gold Hill without Frankie Harrison, the Gold Miner’s Daughter. Frankie was as proud of her Elvis poodle skirt the day this pic was taken as she was of riding in Elvis’ pink Cadillac. Her kindness and selfless spirit will be greatly missed. She was as beautiful as the floral arrangements she created. Requiescat in pace, sweet Frankie…(this comment by Sandy Hickman on Facebook but the feeling is shared by all who knew Frankie)
