Clamper Monument Dedication At The Mariposa Museum And History Center

The Clampers were gathering in Mariposa to unveil their newest monument in Mariposa at the Mariposa Museum And History Center on a gorgeous spring morning in April 2007.

Mariposa County Supervisor Janet Bibby thanking the Clampers for building the Monument. Mariposa County Supervisors Dianne Fritz and Bob Pickard were also in attendance for this special day.

Mr. Bondshu gave a history lesson on how this area of Mariposa looked in the late 30's and onward  as development came into the town. A grand story was told about a warehouse of slot machines, punch cards and young boys !

All around the monument are inserted special mementos of the gold mining era in Mariposa County.

After the unveiling of the monument a sea of red shirts gathers around to celebrate. Laughter and good times were the order of day.
