   The Bok Kai Festival, honoring Bok Eye, the Chinese God of Water, pays tribute to the many Chinese who worked the gold mines in the 1800s. The rare Bok Kai Temple, recently listed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as one of the country's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places, came to be a symbol of gratitude and hope for the Chinese who had left their homeland with hopes for a better life in America. The event includes a small town parade, pancake breakfast, a 5k run/walk and a vast range of multi-cultural entertainment. Join us at the Bok Kai Festival, March 8th & 9th 2008! |
