       The Bohemia Gold Mines (aired on OPB) This is the story of how the gold was discovered, who the major players were, and how it affected Cottage Grove.
       The Morelock Films: A Snapshot in Time   Local movie theater owner’s newsreels provide a window into Cottage Grove in the 1930s and 1940s. The films depict what the town looked like at that time and what Grovers did.

Rainier Amusements cancelled all their small town carnivals this summer due to the shortage of affordable local labor to set up and tear down rides.

After nearly 20 years entertaining folks in Bohemia City, this will be Buck & Elizabeth’s final BMD appearance. B&E fans are invited to attend their performances and wish them well in retirement.

This year BMD organizers chose to move the event downtown for additional space to social distance if required and in hopes of bringing hundreds of people to the doorstep of our economically hard hit businesses to support their bottom line. Our “Receipt Raffle” will award three $100 cash prizes drawn from raffle tickets earned from purchases made in downtown businesses during the event.

We will have “fair food” (elephant ears, snow cones, kettle korn, & cotton candy) and we encourage attendees to tickle their tummies and whet their whistle at the numerous eateries and watering holes in the Historic Downtown District.
