We will celebrate the 5th annual St. Piran’s Day Celebration with a flag raising ceremony of the Cornish flag followed by the “Pasty Olympics,” a series of games involving this staple of the Cornish diet. This spot in downtown Grass Valley had a Cornish flavor long before pasties flew as shot puts. The corner was home for about 80 years to the Wisconsin Hotel, a local Cornish establishment dating back to the Gold Rush days.
