The Calaveras Visitors Bureau will take home a Gold Award from the California State Fair for its interactive exhibit at the event. The Bureau also received a special award for the Best Use of the Fair Theme of “The Fun Just Got Bigger!”

On the first hole, the golfer putts the ball through a frog’s mouth; on the 2nd hole, through a Big Tree, on the third hole, a wine bottle; on the fourth hole, around a mountain; and finally on the 5th hole, through caverns. Elsewhere, the exhibit highlights Calaveras-grown and produced items.
