SOUTH PASS CITY: Gold Rush Days, July 13-14<\/h1>\n

Experience South Pass City State Historic Site as the residents did during the boom years during Gold Rush Days July 13-14.<\/p>\n

Gold Rush Days is a fun, family weekend that features a variety of events and activities, including a vintage baseball game pitting rivals South Pass City, Riverton, Hudson and 2012 defending champion Lander.<\/p>\n

Try not to catch gold fever as you spin a gold pan.\u00a0 See how news was spread as printer Mike Parker sets type on a turn of the century printing press.\u00a0 See blacksmiths art first hand with Dave Osmundsen and walk away with a square nail ready for a horse shoe.\u00a0 Then listen to the sweet tones of the Pushroot Rangers.\u00a0 Enjoy food and refreshments; mining demonstrations, and much more.<\/p>\n

\n

One of the favorite events is anvil blasting or anvil shooting, as some call it. It was a way miners celebrated big events. \u00a0Two anvils are set one on top of the other, the cavity in the bottom of the anvil is filled with blasting powder and detonated. Miners used blasting powder every day to break up the rock in the mines, but on special days they would use the same blasting powder to shoot anvils. \u00a0Historically they would have had competitions between miners to see who could get the most height and boom as well.<\/p>\n

Activities start at 9 a.m. each day. Admission is $3 for adults and children. Children six and under are free. South Pass City is located 32 miles south and west of Lander on Highway 28. For more information call 307-332-3684 or email jellis@state.wy.us.,\u00a0www.southpasscity.com<\/a><\/p>\n
