Sure you can get your friend or family member a t-shirt but why not bring them back something that they`ll really like... a "taste" of Nevada County literally. Throughout the year there are a host of Farmers Markets going including the Grass Valley Farmers Marker that happens every Saturday and Tuesday morning in the Pine Creek Shopping Center.

Although the heat is on the South Yuba River is continuing to run fast and cold from snowmelt making it incredibly dangerous. Don’t be a statistic if you`re looking to cool off instead hit up one of our alpine lakes or pools like this one in Grass Valley which is open to the public 7 days / week.
