Every year on the first Saturday in August, people who grew up in Stirling City, California — and anyone who cares about the town and the Diamond Match Company history behind it — get together at Clotilde Merlo Park. Bring a lunch or buy one there, find old friends, and stay for tours at the Stirling City Museum in the afternoon.

Old and new are both welcome. RSVP, or send photos, stories and corrections, to info@stirlingcityoldtimers.com.
