Fourth of July in Carson Valley

When I first moved to the Carson Valley I found it difficult to figure out where the hot spots were to go to fireworks and picnics. Everybody, share your favorites, and those who read this post will enjoy. So far, my favorite place for fireworks is Nevada Beach, on the East shore of Lake Tahoe. We stay all day and barbeque. At night, you can turn in to the radio for a synchronized broadcast, and watch fireworks, first in the sky and also reflecting off the lake. PRETTY!!! What's your favorite?

Carson Valley Days Tacos- $No Dollars

I just noticed a "ratings" link on my home page for this blog.  I will be looking further into this suspicious looking page, but hope that all those in the Gardnerville, Minden, Carson City who have worked with me in the past would rate me well.  Here is a little incentive:  On the Friday night of CARSON VALLEY DAYS I am hosting a Taco Bar at my centrally located home.  (See my blog: "Carson Valley Days" for more info. Come have a taco (or ten) before you hit the Carson Valley Days Street Party in Downtown Gardnerville.  If free tacos aren't enough  to gain   some attention, I don't know what is, because tacos are good.  And if you are planning on missing Carson Valley Days, you are planning on missing OUT!

By the way, Gardnerville offers an excellent Farmer's Market at Lampe Park, located on Waterloo Lane every Wednesday morning from 9 am to 1 pm.  When you are cruising through town don't forget to make a stop and pick up some extraordinary fruits and veggies and browse those hard working local vendors.  My personal favorite:  Carson Valley Honey.  Take a teaspoon or so a day and loose those seasonal allergies.  They even have bees wax lip balm and hand cream.  Worth every penny!

The most exciting time of year for Gardnerville and Minden residents is approaching! Carson Valley Days is a community event that dwarfs even the traditional holidays for families and children of the area. During this weekend long festival the entire community comes out to play. There is something for everyone. Below I have posted a list of the 2009 Carson Valley events. A tip of advice for anyone traveling to the area that weekend: plan not to use Highway 395 for the first half of the day on Saturday. And lets all remember that this community and everyone in it is very special- so let's protect everyone by remembering to be safe. Please DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE and watch out for little ones at the events. It's our whole town's responsibility to make this celebration a safe and enjoyable one! See you here!

If you have visited Gardnerville/Minden Nevada or you live here, then you may know the drastic difference in property appearance from winter to spring. I am excited as a Realtor at the moment to see property looking a lot more attractive with green lawns and blooming trees recently. A reminder to agents working in 4-season climates: get out there and take new listing photos now that the snow is gone. A snowy picture in the spring time makes a listing appear out dated and drab. Show off the landscaping and sunshine!
