Description of Homecoming Celebration Activities:
California’s
historic town of Copperopolis
turned 150 years old in 2010. We in Copper continue celebrate our unique little
town with our annual Homecoming Celebration and want to invite everyone who
loves small town charm to join us. Copperopolis’ Homecoming was started by our
founding families for an annual get together. Now everyone is welcome for a celebration
fitting a town that saw Black Bart’s first and last stage coach robbery, hosted
Mark Twain at a town social and has one of America’s only family owned
Telephone Companies. The traditional pancake breakfast will be the first event
of the day held in the Armory. Vendors will be selling their wares in the
Armory and on Main Street.
Our “Locally World Famous” Homecoming Parade will feature an array of colorful
characters, gunfighters, saddle queens, citizens, politicians and animals both
tame and wild. Family fun, BBQ and Parade Awards will follow at Copper Fire
Station 1. Live music will fill the air and throughout the day at the Historic
Armory, Copper Fire Station 1 and at the old fashioned evening street dance at
the Copperopolis Town Square.
