This was a really nice fair for families with children and a fun place to hang out with friends…read more Nice way to spend a leisurely Saturday afternoon. Love this park with all of the trees. Though I'm used to larger fairs, especially coming from Southern California, I can appreciate that Nevada is not California which makes our State and this area so unique. A variety of carnival rides for all ages, and the typical "carnie" food. Local vendors were selling their goods. I appreciate the community events here in Nevada which makes me proud to call Nevada my home!

Went this year, mostly cause I got invited to the VIP tent for a visit to the rib cookoff. I'll…read moresay the event was very well organized and set up. There was a seperate enterence for the paid VIP people and the comped VIPS. I think you need to lose a lot of money to get comped. As for the ribs themselves, I gotta say these were some of the mostly bone and less meaty ribs I've seen. I'd be not very happy if I paid the $12 sampler price out there and just got 3 of these ribs. They were trimmed at the source close to the bone, so the only real meat was between the bones. All the cookers had the same rib source, so I don't blame the cookers for the less meaty ribs. The ribs were cooked as well as they could be, but I really had a hard time telling them apart from each other. They looked slightly different in the serving pans, but once in my mouth, I think they all tasted about the same. Tender but not much meat. The whole festival I give extra stars to, but if you're going for the ribs, you might be dissapointed. The Fandango was the source of the raw ribs and the cookers have to pay them for it and try to get the money back on food sales. I asked one of the guys. Cocktail service was good and prompt. The music was way too loud in the VIP tent, I couldn't even hold a conversation 2 feet away at the same table.

5/23/26- So glad we…read moredecided to stop by.. I was debating : getting up early and going fishing or a slow early morning and nice drive to get some ribs.. Love coming early and being able to get the first ribs off the grill.. Favorite is Aussie and even grabbed some bbq sauce.. Half rack from GitRSmoked.. (a little more fatty).. Of course had to indulge in the Grandpa Archie's sample ice cream! Even able to charge the car ...

Amazing! I will do this for every year from now on. The people, the music, the dancing, the food,…read moreit's all so outrageous, and fun! So here's the scoop of snow globe. I got my ticket for the wrong day, 29th, not 31st, and they were so kind to let me in still!!! I almost cried when I realized I ordered the wrong ticket. The staff is amazing and kind. All the people in staff coats were welcoming. The whole community is kinda like that. I hit up all the stages, and the back stage with the square lights was my favorite, for edm music. The tent was also cool. Main stage was too main line music for my taste. The food, go to the pizza place. That's the best place there. They really understand the culture and are the kindest, tastiest food place!! Other things to note, battery pack for cell phones, also you won't have service due to how many people are there. Battery pack is needed for photos! I missed pics of the rainbow igloo! Everything's paid credit card, and you can check in and out with your wristband by tapping on the screen at the exit. I highly recommend this place!

3-day VIP ticket price: $400+…read more Day 1: everything VIP entailed was not offered VIP section not set-up until 7pm day of music festival, and main stage closed at 10pm NOT ON A PLATFORM - HORRIBLE VIEW! NO HEATERS !!!! no on-site meet and greet with artists, no daily food tasting of on-site vendors, only VIP amenity we got was access to was VIP bathrooms and the bar after 7pm..which wasn't anything big since bathrooms and bars around the venue were pretty clear since attendees on day 1 were very limited. Day 2: express VIP enterance did not exist. GA line covered entire enterance making it difficult to go through. There was no security and no snowglobe employee to delegate the chaos. outside heaters installed but indoor heaters were not installed until after 7pm offered food tasting but not from on-site vendor. served plain Mac and cheese and some sort of sweet potato dish with corn flakes. I didn't see any vendors offering these items on the first or second day of the festival. it was pretty gross. no meet and greet with artist still feeling ripped off from day 1 and day 2. Day 3: arrived late to avoid lines to enterance heaters inside finally installed and working, however outdoor heaters failing - need more fuel and no one refilled them for entire day. snowglobe attempt to compensate horrible experience with fanny pack survival kit. it looked cool but I personally didn't need a fanny pack or anything inside of it (since I brought my own lighter, chap stick, tissues, gloves, etc. with me already. all I really wanted were the things I was promised when purchasing a VIP ticket! I am a veteran music festival attendee, and I've never experience such a disorganized and terrible lack of planning. I seriously want my money back! this is not okay.

Nevada state capital has a whole lot going on for it and more of Reno needs to pay attention!…read more From historic downtown streets dotted with cute and quirky businesses to excellent eateries, magnificent museums, a surprising number of exceptional public art displays, and great access to the outdoors, this place has it all without the big city hassles. If you live in the south end of Reno, you're lucky to have the opportunity to choose between Reno's great Midtown and downtown area and almost the same drive away the charm of the capital city. I was recently in Karsen for the murals and music festival and had an absolute blast. Seeing how public art is transformed the city and how it's put the city on the map internationally as well. Almost every business is adorned with some type of creation that speaks to a theme or storyline from the owner or artist or one that merges the two. Carson City is always hosting amazing events thanks to their great tourism board the team at the Brewery art center and everyone investing in that community. Each year Carson City becomes more and more the place to be and I love seeing it. If you haven't been in a while, make a trip! Maybe stay a night too!

1 of 2 Reviews as CC has two Yelp listings…read more Quality/Quantity - #1 reason we come here is because the prices are cheaper than Reno! Especially Costco Gas prices. Sometimes the merchandise/sales are different and cheaper here than both the Reno and Sparks locations. And let's not talk about the CA prices... Plus, we like to support locals. We are slowly visiting all the local breweries, restaurants, etc. in this city. Cut and pasted from the internet: "The city is named after the mountain man Kit Carson (1809-1868)." "The Washoe people have inhabited the valley and surrounding areas for about 6,000 years." Capital of NV. See my other Yelp reviews. I feel this is what/how Reno was 40 years ago. Wait, am I implying I'm old...? LOL. A nice small town vibe. Things to do in CC: State capital. Governor's mansion. Museums. Open lands - Trails (Kit Carson Trail), water falls, dam, parks, disc golf course, casinos, hot springs, and of course for me, breweries; etc. Atmosphere - 157+ square miles, 12.6 of it is water. Elevation 4682. Population 58k+. Service - Overall good. More of a small town feeling. Just double checked and so far the only 3 star restaurant review was for Burger King, do I need to say more?!?! Price - Still affordable, less expensive than Reno and Sparks. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1858. I enjoy visiting more and more. After we are done exploring, what next? Genoa.

It has been years since attending this craft fair and fundraiser for Genoa…read more It is higher class artists and crafts! Not the brought in from China items! Prices are reasonable for the quality. Large variety of items. There is a shuttle from the parking lots. Parking is only $10. We went early and only had a short walk to the main area. Lots of food and drink vendors on the Main Street. Alcohol and non alcoholic selections. The BEST plan for restrooms! They were in every street and they were so clean! Handwashing stations are next to all the garbage cans. Well patrolled by the local sheriffs and volunteers. Go early to beat the large crowds. Get your candy early because they run out!!

I recently attended my niece's wedding here. The venue itself is gorgeous! The area that was set up…read morefor the ceremony on the grass was very pretty and shaded from the heat. The barn where the reception was held is simply beautiful. The things I really did not like however, were the restroom situation and the ROCKS. The restrooms were in a trailer that is not handicap accessible whatsoever. There were several guests who were using walkers and I imagine they either had a difficult time accessing the restrooms or could not access them at all due to the stairs that needed to be climbed. I don't use a medical device to get around but my disability did make using the restrooms very inconvenient. I also wore very small heels (one inch pumps), and had a TERRIBLE time walking around through the rocky ground between the barn and the restrooms. The rocks are very sharp and tore up the heels of my shoes a little bit as well. I understand the rocks are likely there to cut down on the dust since this is a working farm, but I think switching out the current rocks to pea gravel or a crushed stone would make traversing the area easier for everyone. I'd also recommend clear signage from the parking area to the ceremony/reception areas. Like I mentioned, the venue is beautiful, just keep in mind that anyone with mobility issues or heels will have a difficult time moving around.

Chad, Michelle (owners), and Denise (wedding coordinator) were the best! They communicated very well, were so accommodating and did not say no to any of our requests (all within reason). The communication back and forth was timely and never did we feel as though we were just another customer. They made everyone involved including an additional coordinator, feel like family. Make Jacobs Berry Farm your choice! A perfect venue to make lasting memories!

WHAT DID WE JUST WATCH?…read more Only the wackiest, zaniest, wildest and craziest event in all of Northern Nevada! I can't believe after living here for like 20 years. I still haven't wrote a review about this amazing event! It has been my favorite since discovering it after I arrived in 2008 because it is the most ridiculous idea I've ever come across and one that you can add your own fund to very easily! The first year I went, I remember being with my wife and her friends and we had fun playing a game where we'd bet on which shoot would have the fastest camel ostrich, or zebra or emu depend, depending upon the race being run. The person with the most points at the end of the event would be responsible for the first round of drinks! The jockeys are all event sponsors or local celebrities and media and the animals are wholly unpredictable, so there's no scale and it's all for Fine and it's unbelievable to cheer on your favorite animal in the race and hope that they do or don't throw your jockey right off! This year I took my kids and my parents who were visiting from Florida and the events really evolved a bit with a much wider selection, food and drink, as well as vendors too. We enjoyed a hand dipped corn dog as well as one that was dusted and blue Takis yuck but my kids liked it, and I was pumped to find Tahoe creamery. There was some really delicious ice cream too. You definitely get what you pay for when it comes to seating. Pro tip if you want to be in the shade, definitely get yourself the premium covered seating because the bleachers are totally exposed and sometimes the weather is cool while others really hot and we lucked out with a beautiful afternoon. Now the real racket here are the camel rides. Just be prepared because your kids are gonna want to get on one and maybe you too and that's gonna set you back 20 bucks a head. Also, my one regret is that I missed out on the merch! The merch here is fantastic and has been ever since Liquid Blue events took it over, which is why it sells out so make sure to check that out first and get yourself outfitted before what you want disappears! If you've never been, this is one you cannot miss as a resident of Northern Nevada!

Camel and ostrich racing? Who would have thought, although this year was Virginia City's 66th…read moreannual! We were entertained for two hours with camel, ostrich, emu, zebra and duck racing with audience participated games in between. Tickets at the door ($30 per adult) were slightly more than if pre-purchased online. VIP and the upgraded shaded area were sold out so we had no choice but to get the bleachers, which was ok because it was high 70s with a breeze. Can't imagine getting through that if it was hotter though! VIP was under a tent, but it didn't look like they had a great view (round tables set up on a square, flat area) unless you were seated in the front by the racetrack. They had food vendors set up with the biggest corndogs I've ever seen, shaved ice, beer, cheesesteak, ice cream etc. It was nice that none of the lines were super long. Port-a potties were in decent shape. At least the ones we visited. $15 for Fairground parking, or there was a free shuttle that ran from C Street downtown. Saw lots of people just doing the short walk in and out.

Tickets also come with $10 in food! Fortunate this year, as the youngest son was visiting.. We got the lamb gyros-soft bread, plenty of meat but missing some flavors.. Greek fries- yum!. Plenty of feta and seasoned right.. Also got the skewered souvlaki.. tasty and tender.. Loukoumades- unfortunately, there was difficulties with the dough.. so they had to start over.. Walking out, son decided on getting the Greek grounded coffee.. Can't leave without getting the Greek desserts!

They had two lines: one for cash and one for cards. The wait in the card line was about 2 minutes and the wait in the cash line was about 4 minutes. Entry to Greek Fest is $5 per person. Every event staff that we encountered was helpful, happy, welcoming, and kind. There was a group of kids (possibly NJROTC) helping out with keeping the areas clean, removing used trays, and helping where needed. They did an awesome job. Most of the tip jars had signs naming a charity that those tips were designated for. There is tons of seating indoors and outdoors. When you enter the main room, The Helios Greek band is playing lively greek music on the stage. This inside area is where you will find the à la carte food, the raffles, restrooms, and drinks. This is also where the dancers will perform at their scheduled times. In a smaller room off to the side you will find the imports, the bookshop, coffee, pastries, and the entrance for the church tours. Outside there are handheld food items, restrooms, the bar, deserts, venders, and the the kids area. The food was delicious!!! As usual! Dolmades(stuffed grape leaves): flavorful, succulent, and cooked perfectly (my favorite!!) Feta fries: crispy, seasoned with the perfect balance of herbs and fresh feta Lamb: well seasoned but slightly dry Chicken: seasoned throughout and moist-delicious (and I don't like chicken!) Pastitsio(Greek lasagna): cooked excellently, well-balanced seasoning, so good that you couldn't stop eating it Spanakopita: harmonious flavors with the perfect ratio of ingredients Loukoumades(Greek donuts): soft, airy, and unevenly coated with honey Various pastries: delicious and sweet, lots of nuts on things

I went here on Saturday, June 1, 2019. It was officially called the "18th Annual Oodles of Noodles…read moreFestival and Pasta Cook-Off" and was run by the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center in Dayton, which is located inside Greater Nevada Credit Union in Dayton on US Rt. 50. It is held each year in Old Town Dayton, on Pike Street, between Main Street and Second Avenue. This year it was from 9 AM to 4 PM. They close off Pike Street and parking can be hard if you don't come early, especially since there is no public transportation to Dayton. But don't worry: you will find parking, and it shouldn't be too far to walk. It's a small town festival in an out-of-the-way area, and not many people are aware of it, so it wasn't too busy, even at peak times. There were plenty of events. It started off with a pancake breakfast at 7:30 AM to 10 AM in the community center (old high school) at a cost of $6 for one person or $10 for two. Then there was a pet parade at 10 AM by the Dayton Valley Dog Park, a non-profit that runs the park with not too many dogs (about 10). The chamber hid posters with different forms of pasta all throughout the festival. If you found them all, you could enter the raffle for a 50" flat screen TV. I didn't find any, lol. A kid who found them all told me to look under the festival tables in each tent. Oh well, I will know this for next time, haha! There was an opening welcome by the chamber president with the National Anthem sung, and an entertainment stage in the middle with seating. There was also a pasta cook-off with various vendors submitting noodles to be judged. They sold tickets for tasting, but curiously, I didn't see any tents with pasta cooking. Hmmm. The fun for me was going to the different vendors and getting freebies. My favorite ones were Costco Wholesale from Carson City and the Greater Nevada Credit Union Mobile Branch truck. The Dayton Valley Branch Library and Friends of the Library were here, as well as Office Depot from Carson City, Dayton Valley Volunteer Fire, and Lyon County Sheriff's Office. I got things like a cell phone/ID case, lanyard, cup, phone chargers, mini hair brush, pens, bag clip, band-aid dispenser, and a refrigerator magnet. Some vendors had candy. Some had free raffles. There were also Civil War reenactors here. The highlight was when the soldiers marched to the end of the street and fired off loud rounds from their rifles I also got to visit the historic Dayton Firehouse and Jail, which is a mini museum. Mabel was the docent there from the Historical Society of Dayton Valley and was super pleasant and knowledgeable. I was here for 3.5 hours and had tons of fun. I was exhausted at the end, but it was worth it. The fact that it wasn't super crowded and in a small town made it especially pleasant for me. I plan to go again next year.
