Thursday, April 21, 2022, with the Gold Nugget Days QUEEN CONTEST AND REVUE. The 2022 Queen will be chosen from five (5) worthy candidates from our community. Activities will begin at 7:00pm at the Paradise Performing Arts Center where candidates will be judged on historical authenticity of costume, poise, personality and portfolio. The 2022 Queen will be crowned with the historic 14 karat yellow gold crown, coveted by many, but worn by few. The crown made by John A Woodworth circa 1968, and maintained by son John F. Woodworth, has been worn by our elected Queen every year since. The Queen will ride, with her escort, on the GND Queen Float Saturday, April 23, 2022, during the Gold Nugget Days Parade. Tickets ($10 – 12 and under, free) are available at the Gold Nugget Museum, 475 Pearson Road, 12-4pm, Monday through Friday, or at the door.
