Local resident Al Muir is having one humongous garage sale at the Fairgrounds this weekend. Cars, tools, furniture and good junk! Stop by.

Sled Wars was a big success. Excellent job by Keith and Kenny on putting on a very professional show. Good attendance, good racing. This will turn into a major event for Plumas County.

Pre sale carnival tickets are now being sold around the county. Save yourself some money and pick up at least two per kid. Wednesday is Kid's Day at the Fair... all kids under 12 get free Fair admission and you can exchange a presale carnival ticket book for two all ride wristband that day. Remember, the carnival doesn't open until 4pm on Wednesday. More next week....

Sledwars! Swim Meet! Horse Show! This fairground is the most used event facility in the county, by far. Swing on out if you like loud snowmobiles racing on grass. The races start at 9am. There's food and even a bikini contest, which I had to withdraw from because of a hamstring injury. It looks like we have received a great number of entries for the fair, and you still have time to enter any floriculture

These people know how to put on an event! Whether the music is your gig or not, you have to admire the logistics of how these promoters fit almost 10,000 people on our fairgrounds and entertain them. This is our number one source of income at the fairgrounds, and we appreciate that they have chosen Plumas County as the sight of their shindig. I also know they appreciate the location and local support. Hopefully, we can keep this relationship going for many years to come.

Sled Wars is next weekend. Come watch people race snowmobiles on grass in July! This is a heavily used fairground, sometimes hosting a half dozen events a day!

For those of you who procrastinate, we have extended the entry deadline until next Friday, July 22. You still have time to enter that jam, drawing, potato, afghan or scarecrow. Show us what you can do!
