The Stanford Mansion, Sacramento
The Stanford Mansion in Sacramento was the site for a reception honoring the Consul Generals to the State of California. The event, hosted by Charlotte Schultz, Chief of Protocol for the state, was attended by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, his wife Maria Shriver and foreign dignitaries from 110 countries. As guests walked into the mansion's main entrance, they were greeted and welcomed by former California Governor Leland Stanford and his wife Jane. Stanford, one of the 'Big Four', joined his railroad business partners Charles Crocker, Mark Hopkins and Collis Huntington as they mingled with guests in the garden.

The California History Museum, Sacramento
The BCG added color to a western themed reception for tour operators from around the state. The area's rich historical heritage and unique attractions were showcased to promote Sacramento as a featured travel destination. Gang members mingled with guests at a saloon bar, jail (complete with a shotgun-toting Sheriff), gold rush era gambling games and layouts and a gold panning demonstration. Later, a bar room disagreement led guests outside to witness a gunfight in the streets.
