Old West Trio and local musicians headline events at Dangberg Historic Park

The Old West Trio returns to the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park this coming week in an evening concert, while two local musicians are featured at the park’s upcoming Neighbor Fair, an event highlighting Carson Valley’s non-profit organizations.

On Thursday, June 13, at 6:30 pm, The Old West Trio, recipients of the 2011 Western Duo/Group of the Year, will perform classic western music. The ticket price is $15 for adults, $10 for members and free for 16 years and younger. Space is limited and the event could sell out. Non-member tickets can be purchased at dangberg.eventbrite.com. The concert is also funded in part by the Nevada Arts Council, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

Guests are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy as no food or beverages will be sold at the Trio’s concert. The Dangberg ranch house will be open for one hour before the concert for anyone who would like an introduction to the park’s history.

On Saturday, June 15, from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm, The Dangberg Home Ranch Neighbor Fair will celebrate the park’s tenth year as an events venue. The fair will feature music, non-profit organizations and authors.

Two musical acts will perform at fair. At 11:00 am, Krista Jenkins will take the stage. Jenkins is a singer, song writer and yodeler, as well as a fourth-generation Nevadan.

The Mylo McCormick Project performs at 1:30 pm, led by singer-songwriter Mylo McCormick who has also performed with Mo’z Motley Blues. McCormick has earned a reputation as a masterful young guitarist with tasteful riffs and solos comparable to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. He has performed funk and blues at venues around Lake Tahoe, the Comstock area and throughout Carson Valley.

The event’s focus is on local non-profit organizations and government agencies, which will provide information on their various activities. These include Carson Valley Quilt Guild, Carson Valley Trails Association, Carson Valley Arts Council, Carson Valley Community Theatre, Comstock Foundation for History & Culture, Kiwanis Club of Carson Valley, Nevada State Museum and more. Nevada author Sandie La Nae will also be signing her books on local history.

The Neighbor Fair also includes the Carson Valley Lions Club offering a choice of a hot dog or hamburger meal, and 100 Proof Bar Services, with lemonade and snow cone cocktails. The Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch will provide a no-host bar benefiting the restoration of the park’s historic buildings.

Please bring your own seating to all events and no pets allowed - service animals only.
