Grays Crossing Tuesday Concerts – 2019

It’s back – Gray’s Crossing summer Tuesday evening concert series!

We have a number of local summer events and the  Tuesday evening free outdoor concerts at Gray’s Crossing is one to put on your summer fun list.

If you’re not familiar with Gray’s Crossing, it is a 750 acre planned resort community that is tucked away just off I-80 in the north-east area of Truckee, California. 

Gray’s Crossing is a luxury home development with a limited number of high-end townhomes.

If you’re a golfer and you’ve played in the greater North Lake Tahoe area, then you may already know that Gray’s Crossing is home to a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course designed by Peter Jacobsen. 

Set along the pine trees, mountain meadows, and with views of the Mt Rose mountain range and the Northstar ski resort area, this is one golf course and setting you’ll enjoy from start to finish! 

On Tuesday evenings at PJ’s, the restaurant at the golf course, the area turns into a wonderful setting for an intimate outdoor concert.

You can make a dinner reservation, which offers table seating, or be more casual and bring your blankets and low-back chairs and enjoy the evening on the lawn. 

Either way, you’ll have a fun summer evening out in the greater North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area.

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 21 2018

By

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 21 2018

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 21 2018If you missed last year’s Truckee Pumpkin Races, here’s your chance to see them this year.

Downtown Historic Truckee will once again be the place for the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race this Sunday, October 21, 2018 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

If you’re around this Sunday in the greater  Lake Tahoe – Truckee, California area, you should check out the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race (there are many races so it’s not just a one and done event)!

Here are the details of the Truckee Pumpkin Race Car Race in Downtown Historic Truckee, California:

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 21 2018

  • When:  Sunday, October 21, 2018, Starting at 12 noon – 5  p.m.
  • Where:  Intersection of Spring Street and Jibboom Streets in Downtown Historic Truckee, CA
  • Parking:  Anywhere you can find a space
  • Cost:  Free Admission for Spectators, but if you want to build and race your pumpkin, the entry fee is $20 per pumpkin
  • Here are some rules to be aware of:
    • Craft your pumpkin race car using a single pumpkin
    • Use two independent axles through your pumpkin to attach wheels
    • No explosives or pyrotechnics
    • No prefabricated chassis (skateboard, stroller, etc…)
    • Decorate and make it fun.  There are points for style and decoration
    • Don’t follow the rules, be prepared for your pumpkin race car to be demolished!
  • Prizes:  Grand Prize $500, plus more awards

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 21 2018I went last year to the inaugural event, and I was hoping to see  super-sized pumpkins the size of a Mini Cooper car, with people driving them, but instead the entries were smaller-sized pumpkins that were designed to race down the hill on their own. 

It was fun, especially when an entry was disqualified and the pumpkin entry was destroyed (pumpkin smashing at its best)!

This event is hosted by the Tahoe Expedition Academy (TEA) and several sponsors, so it’s a chance to show off your car design skills.

The judges are there to enforce the rules, and be forewarned, from reading more about the event on-line, I think they are prepared to smash those pumpkins that don’t follow the rules, so make sure your pumpkin race car follows the rules.

Our local events are appropriate for all ages, and always embrace the season they are held in.  

In a season filled with all things pumpkin: pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin spiced cream cheese just to name a few of my fall favorites, what could be more fun than a pumpkin car race just a few days before Halloween!

If you love Tahoe and you enjoy our local events, then you should check out this fall pumpkin event this Sunday in  Truckee, California.

See you at the The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race Sunday, Oct 21, 2018 in Downtown Historic Truckee!

Art and Soul Downtown Truckee ArtWalk – 2018

Art and Soul Downtown Truckee ArtWalk - 2018Looking for something fun to do on Saturday, September 15, 2018 in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area?

How about the 4th Annual Downtown Historic Truckee Art and Soul ArtWalk!

Fall is in the air, and our late summer fun is still going on in the North Lake Tahoe – Truckee area.

This annual event is a great way to spend an afternoon in our area. This event combines art, live music, artist demonstrations craft beer and wine tastings, along with small tasty bites.  

There will be 30 stops celebrating Truckee’s artist community.  In addition to just having a lot of fun, a portion of the event’s proceeds will go to the Tahoe Truckee School of Music!

Day-time temperatures tomorrow will be in the mid 60’s, so attendees should dress in layers and be prepared to be warm in the sunshine, but it also means that you’ll want a light jacket, or sweater for the shade, or if the wind picks up.  

Those that go will enjoy being in historic Downtown Truckee and they will get the chance to sample some great wines, beer, and food along with interacting with artists, and enjoying live music. 

What a great way to have fun and support the community and all you have to do is buy a Downtown Truckee Wine Walk ticket!

Here are the event details:

Art and Soul Downtown Truckee ArtWalk – 2018

  • When: Saturday, September 15, 2018 Starting at 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
  • Where: Downtown Commercial Row in Truckee, California
  •  Cost: $35/ticket advance or $40/ticket day of event.  Must be 21+ Years of age for wine and beer sampling.  Don’t forget to bring your ID! Make it a group event $120 for 4 tickets!

So here are few of my ArtWalk strolling tips to make the most of the event:

  • Dress in layers, and wear comfortable shoes.
  • Have a good lunch and bring along a bottle of water.
  • Pace yourself. Sip, don’t guzzle. You’ll have five hours to enjoy the event.
  • It’s okay to stop and do some shopping while you are enjoying the art walk.

Now is the time to start enjoying our fall weather!
