Project Auburn, an event that includes the city of Auburn, Auburn ROTARY and the Placer County Contractors Association along with Old Town Merchants and volunteers, will tackle a portion of Old Town Auburn scheduled for October 12th. A group will paint the 128-year-old Firehouse which is already wrapped in scaffolding. The Claude Chana Goldpanner statue will be gently cleaned and landscaping will spruce up the segment of grounds that parallel I-80 from the Maple Street Exit to the Auburn Billboard. Curb markings and restrooms will also be freshly painted. Music, food, free t-shirts and lunchtime BBQ will be part of the fun day in Old Town Auburn.
