Accompanying our event will be the Nevada City Wine Stroll taking place from 12pm – 3pm, and advance tickets to this event can be purchased with your registration at a discounted pre-registration price of $15 per person. Tickets can also be purchased on the day of the event for $20 per person. Local wine vendors and shops will be helping host the wine stroll for the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. At the event there will also be live music, a raffle drawing and award ceremony for the People’s Choice winners of top car and top motorcycle.

Day 42 - Raise some Chickens!

This is the foothills! Many of us live in a rural area where chickens would be a great addition.  There is something so soothing of listening to the cluck cluck of a bunch of happy hens scratching and pecking around the yard.  The big payoff, though are those wonderful fresh eggs!  Oh, they taste so good and look so good with there dark yellow, healthy yolks. You can just tell they come from happy chickens.
If you have never had chickens, don't be intimidated. They are easy keepers.  They just need a safe place to roost (where the critters can't get them).  You just need to feed and water them and keep their living quarters clean.  The trade off is worth it.
Beware that some areas have more chicken eating enemies than others.  I've had mine eaten by Bob Cats, and talked with some who had them eaten by Bears.  It just depends on where you live.
Give it a try this spring!
