GARDNERVILLE, Nev. – Agriculture and art meet at the “cowboyest holiday faire” to ever grace the Carson Valley. The region’s artisans, crafters and ag students show their wares and demonstrate the ag life at the 4th Annual Ag & Artisan Holiday Faire Saturday, Dec. 7, at the historic Storke Dairy, 876C Centerville Lane in Gardnerville, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The event features holiday shopping with local artisans and crafters, exhibits and demonstrations from students of 4-H and The Keystones, an exhibit of antique farm implements found on the property during renovations and tractor rides. Santa makes an appearance between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. for family selfies during the event.
This year’s show is dedicated to world-renowned chef and author Charlie Abowd, who met with folks and signed copies of his book, Recipes and Rambles That Made Adele’s a Nevada Hot Spot, co-authored by Karel Ancona at last year’s 3rdannual event. Abowd, who passed away in early November will be remembered as a great friend to local producers and farmers.
