Parade of Lights

The Parade of Lights

Sponsored by the Humboldt County Chamber of Commerce

December 13, 2009 - The community huddled together this past Saturday evening to welcome the holiday season to Winnemucca! The parade took place on Bridge Street. My family stuck close to the Fire House for what I believe is the best ambiance for this event. The dimly lit street adorned with Christmas wreaths turns ever so slightly at the Court House as it continues into the heart of Winnemucca. The parade was well worth braving the elements for! The time that was put into decorating these twinkling displays was very much appreciated, not to mention the fistfuls of goodies for the kids. Well done Chamber and well done Winnemucca!

The parade ended up being scheduled at the perfect time! Sunday evening the snow began to fly, bringing winter to Winnemucca!

Fifties Fever - Winnemucca

This past weekend classic cars lined the streets of Winnemucca as Fifties Fever kicked off another weekend of fun! Car enthusiasts from around the West and even Canada showed off their prized automobiles. Winnemucca hosts this event annually at the end of July/beginning of August. Hot rods and poodle skirts become the norm, as locals and visitors take to the streets. The local casinos prove to be a hot venue with their own show & shines and live entertainment. The Winnemucca Convention Center hosted the events on Sunday with fun for the whole family, including the band Mad Dash out of Sacramento.

If you missed this year's event, put it on your calendar for next year! Winnemucca's Fifties Fever should not be missed!
