July’s Bohemia Mining Days may be the last
BOB WILLIAMS / CHRONICLE ARCHIVE. The Ore Cart races are a big attraction every summer during the Bohemia Mining Days in Cottage Grove.
COTTAGE GROVE — The good news: Bohemia Mining Days is set for July 13-15, after fundraising efforts and a generous anonymous donor pulled through to help cover the festival’s substantial budget deficit.
The bad news: If BMD coordinators can’t find a viable partner to split expenses with by next year, they are certain 2023 will be the last year for the celebration. Now, the BMD coordinators are eyeing the City as the festival’s saving grace.
“If we do not get City support next year, there will be no Bohemia Mining Days next year,” said Scott Borgioli, BMD executive director. “I can tell you that with 100% certainty.”
In April, festival coordinators made a desperate plea with its community to help cover expenses, citing a budget shortfall of $35,000.
