The Great Bingo Revival - Wed Dec 20 2017Need a break from the holiday craziness?  Check out the Great Bingo Revival – Wed Dec 20 2017 in Downtown Historic Truckee tonight.

I must have an old soul because I really enjoy playing Bingo!  Yes, I understand all of the stereotypes this will bring to mind, but the thought of having the Bingo card that has all of the right numbers called out that causes me to yell Bingo before everyone else, making me a winner by sheer luck is thrilling.

Okay, it also doesn’t hurt that this is a fund raiser for the Truckee Tahoe Waldorf  School, so all Bingo card proceeds go to a local organization, and that the event is being held at the Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House in Downtown Historic Truckee.

I enjoy our local fundraising events when they are held at local brew-pubs like Alibi Ale Works (so much more than beer and great food).  Who doesn’t enjoy having the option to order a favorite beverage and great food menu items to go along with playing Bingo tonight.  It makes the event a winning combination right from the start!

If you’re around today in the  Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California area, and you’re up for you should check out the Great Bingo Revival tonight!

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

By

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 27 2017Here’s is your chance to be part of an inaugural event in Downtown Historic Truckee, this afternoon, Friday, October 27, 2017 between 4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. as the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race will happen!

Perhaps it’s the inner nerd in me that finds the thought of seeing home-made pumpkin race cars made out of a single pumpkin fascinating.

If you’re around today in the  Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California area, you should check out the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race!

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

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

  • When:  Friday, October 27, 2017, Starting at 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Where:  Between High Street and Jibboom Street 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

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 27 2017In my mind I’m seeing crazy super-sized pumpkin cars, but I suspect you’ll see smaller, toy-sized pumpkins that are engineered to race down the hill, but wouldn’t it be fun if they turned out to be go-cart sized pumpkins!

This event is hosted by the Tahoe Expedition Academy 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 well done and really embrace the season.  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 late this afternoon in  Truckee today.

See you at the The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race today, Friday, Oct 27, 2017 in Downtown Historic Truckee!
