My hats go off to the volunteers who work hard year-round to plan the "Silverfest". I don't want to sound negative towards the oragnizers but, why the weekend before the August long weekend?  I totaly understand that this is not the "Miners Festival", but I would imagine you would have much more pariticipation in this festival if it were held on the Civic long weekend. I have heard the reasons in changing it was "The truck rodeo",  but the people who come home to Cobalt for a visit stick around the town and Bass Lake for the ball tournament. It would be nice to have it all in the same weekend again.  I am pretty sure the Mining Museum run is on the long weekend as well. Anyways I hope if it not as big of a success this year you would consider chaning the dates.  I know my family and friends will not be making the 6 hour drive up for 2 days but will be there the following weekend to celebrate. In total we are an extra 35 people home, who would have enjoyed the festivities if only the dates were changed.

Good site!! Hopefully silver demand will rise again.... and Cobalt will be reborn!!

Loved growing up there.... so many memories..... now im a Miner/Metallurgist........ go figure...lol

Not a bad sight.

I liked the pre-2003 website the best.

What happened to the old Guestbook entries from the older version guestbooks from people a lot of us will likely never hear from or about again? 

They should be archived in a folder on this website so we can all review them for nostalgia's sake. 

I enjoy visting your site periodically to see what is happening in and about Cobalt and North Cobalt.  My father was born and raised in North Cobalt and he shared many happy and interesting stories about his early childhood and youth growing up in this area in the 1930s and 1940s.  My grandfather was one of the many miners who worked in the silver mines there.  I always enjoyed visiting my grandparents and extended family with my family in the 1960s and 1970s.  I look forward to getting back sometime to visit again.

I have been searching foir this web site for awhile,  at least since the old web site seemed to disappear.

i miss this town soo much even though i been gone for a week but  i miss everyone and everyone inside cobalt!!!! LOVE YA's all

My grandfather owned Shag silver in Cobalt and I wish that I had spent more time visiting and learning about the history there..

   Hope to visit again very soon
