Description of Homecoming Celebration Activities:
California’s
historic town of Copperopolis
turned 150 years old in 2010. We continue celebrate our unique little town with
an 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, had one of the country’s richest copper mines and
a family owned Telephone Company. 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 under a canopy of beautiful handmade quilts from the Copper
Quilters. 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 on Main
Street (O’Byrnes
Ferry Rd.) across from the Post Office.
