Silliness was at its best when Black Diamond “Hysterical” Society performed their skit, “Bank Promotion Goes Awry.” Actors were Ian Nitsche, a robber; Zach Pratt, bank teller holding a 1920s toaster; Jeff Montgomery, bank president and thief; Steve Israel, Keystone Cop #1; Susie Thompson, famous actor from Seattle; David Luke, Keystone Cop #2.

While adults reveled in hot brats-on-a-stick, the youngsters gobbled doughnuts on a plate while their hands were under the table. It was the 20th anniversary of Black Diamond Miners Day, replete with silly events and fun for all.
Olivia Mason, age 8, chose a facial graphic to have painted on her face by artist Mariah Deady.
Theme for the event, “Mining for Fun,” was not to be taken literally, but to rejoice while celebrating the town’s rich coal mining history.

The “Dog & Wagon Parade” advertised that decorative dogs and children should dress alike. Bryn won $75.
