KNBN NewsCenter1 February 21, 2021 It was a celebration of the Chinese new year, and the year of the ox. “We decided we were going to celebrate that sort of tradition and culture and history. It has a lot of roots here in Deadwood. We had some Chinese immigrants that came during the gold rush, and so their ancestors, their relatives are still sponsoring our programs like this one,” said Amanda Brown, Education Director for Deadwood history. This celebration was sponsored by Beatrice and Edith Wong, descendants of Fee Lee Wong, one of the first Chinese immigrants to make Deadwood his home.
