The Genoa Cowboy Festival will be held in historic Genoa, Nevada April 30-May 3, 2015. It is a blend of a scenic setting, entertainment, heritage and Western culture. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada, historic Genoa is the site of the first ranch in Nevada and still has working cattle ranches literally steps from the center of town.
From its 19th century beginnings, cowboys and ranching have shared work, words and music there. You’d be hard pressed to find a better place to celebrate the unique forms of Cowboy Music, Cowboy Poetry, Old West history and the Western lifestyle.

A year and a half road construction project will result in the closure of Kingsbury Grade for almost 75 days this year and more in 2015. Since this will have an impact on local businesses, residents and commuters, a forum was held on Wednesday in order to inform the community about the impact.
A full house was on hand in the TahoeChamber conference room to listen to representatives from Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), Tahoe Transportation District (TTD) and the road construction company.
