Bit of bad news.... one of our twice yearly ropings had to be cancelled this weekend due to an outbreak of equine herpes. Yes, horses get herpes, and it can be serious. It just seemed prudent to put off the event, but they will be back on Labor Day weekend
The Plumas Mudslingers have scheduled a bout in Serpilio Hall during the County Picnic next week, June 4. The event will begin at 2pm I think. I'll check on that. Anyway, if you haven't seen these girls yet, they put on one of the best shows you will ever see in the borders of Plumas County. Really.

One thing no one can argue with is how busy these fairgrounds are. This past weekend were the races and a terrific Quilt Show put on by the Quincy Crazy Quilters. What a professional show they put on! Very impressive and a great example of the kinds of events that help the local economy, drawing visitors from Nevada and Alturas, as well as the valley. They camped, they ate out, they explored our county. It was a great piece of business for the fairgrounds as well.
The next American Valley Speedway race will be at the County Picnic on June 4 and that's great entertainment, throughout the summer. Did you know we have had over 175 events and meetings at the fairgrounds since January 1 of this year? We aren't even into our busy season yet. Although our staffing has been reduced, we continue to serve a greater number of our community with a place to meet, entertain and gather in case of emergency. Thank you to everyone who has given and offered support. We need it. County Picnic is only one month away! It should be bigger than usual this year. Besides the Sierra Cascade Streetrodders annual show, there will be a Cub Scout Bike Rodeo, the Quincy Chamber Chili Cook-off, the fast growing Plumas Business Exposition and the Out-and-Abouters Plant Sale. Of course there will be the Lion's Breakfast and 4H Showmanship and Awareness day. That night will be the popular American Valley Speedway race. You will find food vendors, commercial vendors, and entertainment too. It's not too late to sign up as a vendor, just call Willo or Kathy during the week, or go to our Forms and Applications page and download the vendor application. Plan on coming out, Saturday, June 4 from 10am to 3pm and soak up the start of the good weather.
