Dear Friends,

We got everything up and running at Lucky Fox and had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to all our customers who stopped in to give gold panning a shot on their holiday weekend!

 Our historic little cabin. We are #23 in Gold Rush town at Pioneer Park. We are located right next the the ice cream parlor and look out at the Riverboat museum. 

Some happy kids admiring the vial containing gold they panned on Memorial Day weekend.
