The idea is only in the formative stage, Burger said. Organizers do not yet have permits to paint the gold trail, they haven't raised any money yet toward the $800,000 needed and some of the sites to be included haven't even been built. Those include California Pioneers Museum and the Sony Theater complex. No tax money will be used, Burger said. The foundation hopes to recruit corporate donors to help pay for the sites. The foundation also hopes to raise money by licensing its logo to T-shirt manufacturers and vendors and by renting out the players. The Gold Rush Trail was inspired by Boston's Freedom Trail, a similar historical program that some 6 million people use annually. |
