    Cactus Gulch Gazette

    Saturday April 26 1884


    Cactus Gulch Celebrates 20 Years!
    Tonight sees celebrations begin for the 20th anniversary of the founding of Cactus Gulch town. Our town has grown
    from its beginnings of a few brave pioneering prospectors arriving in 1864, to the thriving community of 600 souls
    that it is today. With the likelihood of the railroad arriving soon, connecting us directly to San Francisco, Cactus
    Gulch looks all set to continue its growth and prosperity!
    All townsfolk and visitors are welcome to join in the celebrations tonight, beginning at The Silver Dollar Saloon at
    7pm, where there will be free drinks for all – three cheers to Sheriff Blane and the management of The Silver Dollar
    – followed afterwards by dancing and all-you-can-eat hog roast and apple pie feast. Don’t miss it.
