Comment[edit]

It has not been finally determined what the cause of the July 4, 2004 explosion during the 4th of July fireworks show at Ellis Lake was. It may have been a "rogue firework" from the show; however, there is also evidence that it was caused by a firework or other explosive device thrown into the crowd.

Public Works Project?[edit]

Some residents claim that the building of the lake was a public works project during the depression. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.21.32.213 (talk) 08:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

regarding that mention of the washington square park development - the nets are gone, the trees are gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.147.61 (talk) 06:44, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism?[edit]

It appears the following, appearing in this version of the page, is content not original to Wikipedia but cut and pasted from somewhere, possibly the Friends of the Marysville Bok Kai Temple. I've removed it from the article. Michael Patrick (talk) 23:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asian population?[edit]

The article suggests the Chinese population never recovered after Chinese were driven out in the 1860s. But in an interview (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBtY6Zv0ol4), Hollywood Executive Ethel Wynant (1922-2003) describes growing up in Marysville, so the 1920s and 30s, and relates how the town had significant populations of Chinese, East Indian and Japanese.

Bok Kai[edit]

unreferenced section from the Sutter-yuba region article:

Bok Kai festival*

Annually, Marysville celebrates the Chinese New Year and the Bok Eye god with a festival. The parade has been produced each year for more than 120 years and is the oldest continuing parade in California. People from as far away as Taiwan come to worship at the secluded temple. The crash of gongs, the crack of fireworks, and the pounding of drums signal the beginning of the Bok Kai Parade. Marching bands, fire trucks, antique cars, floats and dance groups walk the streets of historical downtown. Over 15,000 spectators each year come to watch the parade's greatest asset, a 150-foot-long (46 m) dragon.

Other activities include martial art demonstrations, food vendors, and art exhibits.

The festival concludes with the firing of 100 ceremonial bombs with "good luck" rings contained inside the bombs.

Because the festival celebrates New Year according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the date of the parade is different each year.

Another interesting fact is that it has never rained during the parade, and has very seldom rained on the day of the parade.

Mecklenburg has _never_ been a part of Prussia[edit]

The article states "...a native of Mecklenburg in Prussia...", but indeed Mecklenburg has never ever been a part of Prussia. Until the end of WWII it was its own county, then, in G.D.R. times, it was split into 3 parts with no reference to the history, but after 1990 it came back to be "Mecklenburg-Vorpommern" (The Vorpommern part has been united with the former Mecklenbug). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.110.61.18 (talk) 15:46, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
