    I wanted to add the rest of my photos I took to showcase how spectacular this event really was and can't thank Care Chest of Northern Nevada and Yelp enough for the invite and great time!

    Just attended Care Chest's annual fundraiser - Bacon, Bourbon and Brews. Had an amazing time enjoying three of my favorite things while sampling local spirits and delicious nibbles. All of the participating vendors were friendly and knowledgeable about their offerings, taking time to chat with everyone and answer questions. I am already looking forward to next year, perfect way to spend an afternoon and support a great cause!

    Three words, Bacon, Bourbon and Brews! I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets from the Yelp Giveaway and asked one of my room mates to accompany me! It was a wonderful experience that supported such a great cause. The event was held at Wingfield Park and boy was it lively! After receiving our passes on a blue CARE Chest lanyard, we made our way into the venue. Live music was being played by a band that goes by the name of Escalade. Our first thought was to sample some beers and stand in ilne for the food! There was several breweries (Brewers Cabinet, Lead Dog, Imbib, Alaskan, Pigeon Head, The Depot, Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, Breakthru Beverage Nevada, and Under the Rose) and a couple of distilleries (Branded Hearts, Frey Ranch Estates, Verdi Local, Foresaken River, Seven Troughs, 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery, and Bulliet Wiskey). We both weren't huge bourbon fans, but for the experience, we tried Frey Ranch's Maple Old Fashion with Candied Bacon. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of bourbon, but the candied bacon was delicious! We're more beer drinkers, so we definitely had our fair share of beers! Onto my favorite part, the food. The food was catered by Mari Chuy's Mexican Kitchen and my goodness...everything was tasty. They had a whole roasted suckling pig and the meat was almost gone! So we headed there first before standing in the food line. I made sure to grab a piece of crispy skin too. The food line had tacos, pulled pork, pork and beans, stuffed peppers, churros, potato and Cesar salad with bacon in it. Everything and I mean everything was scrumptious! The stuffed peppers were a bit spicy, but that didn't deter me. After eating, we walked down the auction table to see what they had. The event was also having a Burning Man Raffle. We wanted to support CARE Chest and since we didn't pay for our admission tickets, we decided to support them by purchasing an "arm pull" of tickets ($40). Another band called The Beatles Flashback played and they were absolutely entertaining. My dad loves the Beatles so I grew up listening to their songs as well. It was great to see the audience singing and dancing along to those famous hits. Bacon, Bourbon, and Brews was such a lovely experience. The event was well organized with great live music, tasty food, and refreshing drinks. It also felt great to have contributed to CARE Chest. I'd say this event was a complete success and I am glad we were able to be a part of it.

    Great experience and great to be part of supporting an amazing cause! Live music, great food, awesome beer, amazing liquor and the best people. The event seemed well organized and staffed with volunteers who were friendly and helpful. The breweries (Imbib, Brewers Cabinet, Lead Dog, 10 Torr, The Depot, Alaskan, Alibi, Pigeon Head, Great Basin, Sierra Nevada and Under the Rose) as well as the catering by Mari Chuy's was great! There were also several distilleries but we didn't try any of them (I'm definitely more of a beer drinker). There was great music by Escalade and the Beatles Flashback. There was a silent auction to bid on many different packages and a raffle for two tickets to Burning Man with two burner bikes. Overall it was an amazing experience and great to be part of supporting this amazing community that we share.

    This event was amazing! My husband and I got there a little early so there were hardly any wait times. We found our way to the Yelp Table where there was a bag on each chair containing a shot glass. The food was delicious...a bit spicy for me, but that was because I chose the Mexican BBQ food. The only "bacon" I saw was in the potato salad. However, the rest of the pork was in the pulled pork dishes. I'm not very fond of bourbon, but the ones I tried here weren't too bad. I did get to try a lot of local brews...even went for seconds on a couple of them. I realize I'm more partial to the lighter or amber beer. The music was ok. The first band, Escalade, was pretty descent. They had a wide variety of songs, and the lead singer would come out to the audience and get some people to sing with him. The other band, Beatles Flashback, was good as well. They sang some of my favorites... "Day Tripper", "Penny Lane" and "Hard Day's Night". The only reason I didn't say that this band was amazing was because of the sound balance. The drums were so much louder than the singers and it never got any better as the set went on. The sound guys were trying but never perfected the balance. I still went up and danced and sang along.

    The team at DVRC is the most dedicated, caring, selfless, and hard-working group I have witnessed…read more In 2021, I left an abusive relationship at 6 months pregnant with no idea of how I would survive this situation. I was living at Our Place (Shelter) and they contacted me about the transitional housing program. This day completely changed my life around. I entered the Transitional Housing program with a newborn. They gave me a place to stay, assistance with basic needs (diapers, toiletries, food, furniture, etc.), and provided a furnished apartment. Throughout my stay they gave us food to be able to provide a Christmas dinner to our families, birthday baskets for our children, and countless other forms of support! They provided my daughter and I stability, which I can never thank them enough for!! While in the program I was able to attend classes such as book club, financial literacy, and support group. They even paid for therapy! I met with a financial coach every 2 weeks and she taught me how to keep a budget, pay off debt, save, and get back on my feet. I learned so many skills in the program, and these ladies are incredible! They are there to support you every step of the way. When you're in a DV situation it can feel very lonely, but they are always there for you in moments of need! Never in a million years did I think I would have been in that situation, but thank God they were there when I was! I will forever be grateful to these women for helping give my baby and me a great life. I am now in my own apartment, could afford a car, and am able to stand on my own 2 feet and be a proud mom. Thank you DVRC for all of your hard work to assisting women in DV situations. You have changed so many lives for the better!

    A very clean, helpful place. I donated my sweatshirts here, and the process was really easy. Pull…read moreup, drop off, grab receipt and you're done! They have a huge parking lot in the back, so that was really nice (I wouldn't suggest the front parking lot for anything. Its awkward and narrow) The front desk lady was very nice and helpful. I would definitely come back and donate more when I have more to give.
