Sometimes people are looking for something original from Grass Valley, Nevada City or Nevada County at large, but don’t really have the time to go mooching around all the shops or visiting street fairs such as Cornish Christmas or Victorian Christmas. Well some of the local artisans have discovered a web based outlet for their work in the form of Etsy.com (http://www.etsy.com).
Downtown Nevada City sees the first Victorian Christmas of the year on December 3rd, 2008 from 6pm to 9pm. Come on down and enjoy the festivities with stalls, choirs, street performers and tasty food and treats.
If you have some last minute shopping or are seeking inspiration for local Nevada County and Nevada City gifts then make plans to attend this street fair.
Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railway Museum
The Christmas Party on the first Saturday in December draws hundreds of children to the brightly decorated Nevada County Narrow Gauge museum for an opportunity to visit Santa Claus and receive a gift.
The event is always filled with family fun and refreshments. In 2007 nearly 900 people dropped by to see Santa.
The 2008 party will be on Saturday, December 6, from 10-4. The museum is at 5 Kidder Court, Nevada City, and you can call them at 530-470-0902.
