KIMT News Three’s Saral Khare shares what sets the southeast Minnesota event apart in its 52nd year.



ORONOCO, Minn. – From Aug.16-18 the Oronoco Gold Rush will take place. Executive Board President Melissa Griggs says it brings in around 10 to 40,000 visitors each year.

She says it’s great to have a crowd come to the event. The show has a variety of activities like an antique shop and medallion hunting for kids. All of the proceeds from the rush are donated to local non-profits like the VFW and Lions Club.

“This is our only annual event that Oronoco has to support things like community-wide events even,” said Griggs. “Fireworks, National Night out so this is the one thing we do that supports our community every year.”

One couple Shelly and Woody Woodward have been coming to the rush for 12 years as vendors. They repurpose old furniture and other home décor items and sell it to the public.

Coming to the rush, Woody says he’s noticed younger people have an appreciation for older items.

“The people in their 20’s and 30’s are interested in saving stuff rather than buying garbage from the big box stores,” said Woody.

His wife Sheryl agrees that younger people are more appreciative.

“Younger people are a little more interested in better and just reliving some of those things that they’ve seen from their parents and their grandparents,” said Sheryl.

For more information on the schedule of events you can go on the Oronoco Gold Rush website.

Additional Insight: Embracing Nostalgia and Sustainability

The Oronoco Gold Rush not only serves as a fun and engaging event for the community but also highlights a shift in consumer behavior towards nostalgia and sustainability. Younger generations are showing a greater interest in repurposing old items and appreciating the craftsmanship of older pieces, choosing them over mass-produced products from major retailers.

This trend reflects a growing awareness of the environmental impact of consumerism and a desire to embrace and preserve the past. By supporting events like the Oronoco Gold Rush, individuals can contribute to local community initiatives while also participating in a more sustainable and meaningful form of consumption.
