Prospector Days




I am still researching Prospector Days and found this wonderful two page feature from the Post-Crescent's magazine supplement from July 1963.  What a simpler and exciting time!  I remember looking forward to summer each year because Prospector Days was coming...that and, of course, school being out, and the Banta picnic at Jefferson Park, and the pool being open, etc., etc.  It's hard to imagine kids nowadays going crazy in a dig for pennies, but to my young eyes, it was an untold fortune.  I wish the graphics were clearer but you know what I'm talking about.
