Would you like to win a free RV? Marble Quarry has teamed with California Camping and Cross Roads RV, to give away a free RV at the California State Fair. To enter the drawing, simple ask for a "scratcher" at our front desk. In addition to numerous other prizes, you could be the lucky owner of the RV.
We have a new freezer full of ice cream and micro-waveable goodies. When you go out for the day to explore the area, why come back and need to cook? We have Marie Calendars' Chicken Pot Pies, Burritos, Cheeseburgers, Chicken Breast Sandwiches, and other items. We also have Chili, Tuna, Peanut Butter, Marshmallows, Cookies, Trail Mix, Chips, Candy and Otis Spunkmeyer Muffins. Use our micro wave or yours.
We have added more seating, tables and landscaping to the porch in front of the office. Sit there or in our lounge, to eat your lunch or dinner, and/or enjoy your ice cream treat. It is also a good way to meet and greet new or old friends.
To show how family oriented our park is, Owner,
Ralph Squire, now has his daughter, Esther
Osborne; grandson, Colby Osborne; grandaughter,
Janine Ryan; Janine's husband, Terry Ryan;
grandaughter, Sussie Zlab; and Sussie's son, Zack
Zlab, on the team at the Marble Quarry. Janine
and Terry's kids, Clayton, age 6, and Gracie, age
3, will also be around. Bring your family, to meet
our family. Bring the dog, too!

when, including a glorious parade up Main Street at noon. Enter yourself and your loved ones in the parade and feel the history!
Folks in Columbia began the 4th of July parade tradition in 1852.
In addition to the parade, listen to the Great Mother Lode Brass & Reed Band concert, dance in the street, and try your skill at the many contests popular in the early days of Columbia. The kids will enjoy trying to climb the greased pole, hunting for a needle in the haystack, and participating in the bucket brigade and the cake walk.
Other contests for kids of all ages include nail pounding, watermelon and pie eating, egg relay race and egg toss, and a five-way tug-of-war.
The parade and concert are free, and entering the contests only costs a buck.
Finally, to top off your day, a tri tip barbecue dinner will be served at 4:00 p.m. Barbecue tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children under 10. Come early for the best parking and bring lawn chairs.
The festivities will begin with a flag raising and firing of the cannon at 10:00 a.m. For more information, call 209-536-1672.
