Every town has its own story of how it struck gold in the good ol’ days. In 2004, the loyal citizens of North Carolina formed the North Carolina Gold Festival to promote, educate and preserve the state’s gold heritage. And this year, the festival, to commemorate the discovery of gold in California, will take place on April 18 and 19, 2008 at Tom Johnson’s Rally Park on Highway 70.
The festival includes a schedule of events that makes way for derbies, entertainment, gold panning, treasure hunting, food and live bands. With over three thousand attendees, the festival welcomes one and all!
The festival kicks off on Friday the 18th at noon. If you’re heading to North Carolina during this time, don’t miss this event. It’ll be a fun adventure for the whole family and in this state you will find that “all that glitters is gold”.

It's so exciting.... California is my favorite holiday destination also. Have made many trips to there through United Vacations.
