Come and attend the annual Marysville Picnic. This event hosts fun for the entire family and includes various exhibitors, entertainment, vendors, arts and crafts, games and contests. Award winning cowboy poet, Bruce South with Lazy 'B' Bar 'S' Productions from Red Lodge will be performing. Don't miss Dan Pate's famous auction and all the raffle prizes waiting to be won.

There will be an old fashioned baron of beef barbecue with all the trimmings, plus snack bars serving grilled hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks and beer. The candy store will open its doors and have your favorite sweets on hand along with ice cream and Italian sodas.

Visit the Shaffer House Museum, where you can walk in and see how people lived at the turn of the century. The old school house, now serving as the community center, is loaded with artifacts and history of the once booming mining town.

Pan for gold right in the park!

The Marysville House Bar & Restaurant will open at 5:00pm and will feature live music at 7:00pm. Exhibitors and raffle sales start at 10:00am.
