This year’s script is an adaptation of the Follies’ fan-favourite show last produced in 2009\, A Hot Time in the Old Town\, which was based on the 1902 fire that burnt down most of Rossland’s downtown core. Re-written by Lucas Myers with new music created by Miller Mason\, this version of the story takes place during the summer of 1896\, the year the first baby in Rossland was born. \nWhen ex-librarian Miss Matilde Matheson moves to Rossland during its hottest summer on record\, she has one big dream: to open up her very own hotel. Assisted by new friends and allies\, she purchases a newly-vacated building complete with a piano\, and starts the process of turning it into a hotel. The only opposition to her plan – a Spokane-based performer named Eliza LaLonde\, who claims to own the very piano that is the centerpiece of the building. \nFilled with colourful characters and catchy tunes (some of which will be recognizable to long-time Follies fans)\, A Hot Time in the Old Town chronicles Matilde’s journey from withdrawn Rossland newcomer to the centre of an unlikely group of friends. But will she be able to keep her friends by her side while she continues to run from the past she hides from them? \nTwo show times daily – 3pm & 7:30pm URL:https://www.tourismrossland.com/events/the-rossland-gold-fever-follies-present-a-hot-time-in-the-old-town-2/ LOCATION:The Miners Hall\, 1765 Columbia Ave\, Rossland\, BC\, V0G 1Y0\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.tourismrossland.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/the-cancan-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Rossland Gold Fever Follies":MAILTO:GoldFeverFollies87@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260803T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20260803T180000 DTSTAMP:20260720T213123 CREATED:20260720T155611Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260720T155611Z UID:10001231-1785751200-1785780000@www.tourismrossland.com SUMMARY:BC Day DESCRIPTION:Looking for the ultimate family plan this BC Day? ☀️ Stop in to the Rossland Museum & Discovery Centre for some exploration and family-friendly fun! \n📅 Monday\, August 3rd\n⏰ 10 am – 6 pm\n🎟️ Open by Donation! \nWe’ve got a wonderful lineup of activities for all ages: \n🏽 Outdoor Games: Challenge the family to SpikeBall\, croquet\, and more!\n⛏️ Strike it Rich: Try your luck at gold panning and catch our gold-panning demos.\n🚂 Explore & Climb: Step inside our historic caboose or hop into a real fire truck!\n🫧 Giant Bubbles: Keep the kids amazed with our spectacular bubble wands.\n🧊 Beat the Heat: Head inside to cool down with crafts\, activities\, and an epic scavenger hunt! \nOur popular outdoor guided tours will be running throughout the day.
