Miners Festival Downtown Lake City
“Oh
God for one more breath, remember me as long as you live,” These were

others who lived in Coal Creek, join the Lake City Chamber of Commerce
as they celebrate the Coal Mining History of Lake City, which involves
the Coal Creek War, the Fraterville Mining Disaster and the Cross
Mountain Mining Disaster. There will be plenty of fun, food, crafts and
entertainment to celebrate the coal mining heritage of the area. In
