Locals mine for gold on History Channel’s new show Bamazon

A preview party, designed by local designers Tish Fuller and Phil Spraggins, was held in honor of the History Channel’s latest show, Bamazon, Monday evening in the remodeled Graves Building office space before the Christmas parade.

Bamazon features a team of Tallapoosa County natives led by real estate mogul Tim Evans as they mine for gold in the Amazon jungle in the South American country of Guyana. The cast includes Darryl Haynes, Chris Gamble, Clate McDaniel, Julius Reed, Chantz Meadows, Steve Hudson and John Wilson as Evans’ team.
