Mariposa, CA — A past Mother Lode Roundup Queen received a new title over the weekend.

In addition, she has been serving on the Mother Lode Roundup Queen Committee for three years, and her family has been involved with the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Posse for three generations.
The Mariposa County Fair and Homecoming is August 29 – September 1.
