While we don't have a Gold Path this year at the N While we don't have a Gold Path this year at the Nevada County Fairgrounds, we love seeing the photos of "our" 2020 Fair Marigolds (grown locally by Weiss Brothers Nursery) planted around the county in various gardens and being enjoyed by so many. This is from the garden of Ed and Carol and it makes us smile and gives us a little piece of the Fair to enjoy. Did you plant some of our Marigolds this year? If so, share a picture for all to enjoy! . . . #nevadacountyfairgrounds #nevadacountyfair
We know you all love Treat Street, and while we ha We know you all love Treat Street, and while we have been busy behind-the-scenes planning a Treat Street Drive Through event, we have decided to postpone the event at this time. The reasons are many – recent public health directives, health and financial concerns from the Treat Street vendors, and increased food costs all resulted in making the event not feasible at this time. However, we will keep the plan in place in hopes that we can offer this at a future date – when it is safe to do so and the Treat Street organizations are more comfortable moving forward.   Throughout this planning process, we made it very clear to the Treat Street organizations that this was voluntary and needed to make sense for them. We acknowledge and respect that the time simply isn’t right and applaud the Treat Street organizations for prioritizing the health concerns of their dedicated volunteers.     In the meantime, we encourage everyone who was planning to attend to support one of the many local restaurants that are offering outdoor dining and to-go service and make a direct donation to one of the Treat Street nonprofit organizations.  Thank you to our community – near and far – for your continued support and love of all things Fairgrounds! . . . #nevadacountyfairgrounds #treatstreet
