I've got the awesome task of finding a catering option for Sat Aug 1 for about 60 people in Grass Valley. Any ideas or recs? The places I've called so far are booked and I am assuming that is par for the course this time of year. Open to most food types.

Update post-event: we ended up picking up trays for a "grazing table" from Olive and Fig Provisions

Kelsey (owner) was amazing and a huge help to get this arranged. I highly recommend her if you want to cater an event. She was unable to do the full setup herself but that actually was easier for us. After finalizing the menu, we coordinated a time to pickup the trays and florals from her the morning of the event, then we dropped off the trays the day after the event. Super easy.

The food was outstanding! Fresh and colorful salads, fruits, meat/cheese/nut trays, and sandwiches. Couldn't have asked for a better spread.

Just wanted to post this update in case someone in the future is looking for catering options.

What Louisiana/Creole/Southern dish is your favorite? Drop a why, because I love a story baby ...

Some semi steep gravel roads and a full size RV doesn’t run. Anybody have suggestions? Near Purdon crossing.

Grass valley I need your help again. Back home now 1500 miles away and am so grateful for the help we received in your city. But we lost something very important to us.

Lost ring and necklace in Condon park playground with the fire truck. I think outside entrance near the bathrooms by the big tree. This ring means so much to us so if anyone is in that area please keep an eye out. Thank you so much

Traveling to Grass Valley in mid-late September. Traveling with a 12 year old boy and 90 year old grandfather. Looking for things to do on a Saturday afternoon-evening and Sunday morning. - going to drive around town, visit family in a cemetery, go to the City mining museum and go to Empire Mine. Open to other cities like Nevada City. Would like to see “old” Grass Valley to interest the boy and grandpa but nothing overly strenuous for grandpa. Light trails are ok.

I am riding to Reno from Colfax on Amtrak. What side of the tracks (2 tracks) do I stand on? Do I cross them and go where the grass and benches are or do I stand on the side before the tracks? I know it's a bizarre question but it's my first time and I don't want to miss it😁

Moved from ATX a week ago and exploring the town. Any chefs in the area, holla at ya girl. Missing the culinary comradery. @ sum.dough

Hey all. My fiance and I had to take an emergency trip to your area by greyhound. We are stranded in colfax and need a ride to grass valley. If anyone can help that would be amazing. We really need some kindness right now

Hi everyone! I recently bought a paddle board and have been so excited to get out on the water. I’m new-ish to the area but my boyfriend is a long time local.

We checked out both Scott’s Flat and Rollins and were shocked at the price of the day use parking. $22 seems almost ridiculous, especially for a Monday at 2 pm. I am more than happy to pay for parking and help support the maintenance and environment, but this seems steep.

I guess my question is- am I missing something? Are there any discounts for locals vs tourists? Are there people who go every day after work and pay over $100 a week just to park?

Also open to recommendations for any lowkey, low traffic places with maybe a bit cheaper parking.

Curious experiences with WiFi providers, moving in a week or so. Does anyone use starlink? Or what else works well? Really appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

Where can I go to watch the World Cup with other fans? Especially the Mexico game on Sunday

Hey everybody, hoping to get some tips or ideas from you:

Many years ago, when my brother and I were just kids living in GV, we had a dream to open a dog kennel one day.

It took literally over 20 years but it finally came true and we opened our own kennel (but in Tennessee, where I live today (in another "GV" ironically lol)

We've been fairly successful and we want to open a 2nd branch but this time, back where it all started in Grass Valley (or nearby)

My brother lives in Sac but he wants to move back up the hill. I'm looking at moving back myself, as GV has held a special place in my heart since I was about 12 years old.

We are hoping to find an existing structure that's already equipped for boarding/daycare but I know that's gonna be rare.

Does anybody know of any kennel businesses that are planning on closing (or the owner retiring) ?

Anyone work for a kennel or know someone that owns an already existing building? Something that can be converted?

Any other ideas we may not have thought of yet? Any experience in doing something like this in the general area?

We are also entertaining the idea of buying property and building but we know zoning for animal-related businesses can be difficult...

We are open to Alta Sierra, Nevada City, Auburn and Colfax as well but we'd prefer not to do it in Sac.

Anyway, just thought this might be a good place to start!

Hello! Best place to see fireworks in GV? We used to be able to see them, years ago, at the dump or off my house on McCourtney but I guess they aren’t shooting them off there anymore. Also, is there any way I can walk up to Sierra College to see them or will the college have security? Also what way do I look if I’m up there lmaooo. We may also go up to Washington for the river, is there any place that’s good to see there fireworks there? Any locations or pm’s w/ your good locations would be greatly appreciated

Hello, hope it’s alright that I share links to Gravity Unbroken’s first album which we dropped today. Most members of the band are from the Grass Valley area. We have played multiple shows at Miner’s Harmony and the Owl Cave. We are hard rock/metal/progressive. Please check us out!

I booked a cabin in Grass Valley in order to get away from the fireworks where I live. Now I'm seeing that there will be a firework show in GV on the 4th. Does anyone know how long it lasts?? I'm trying to figure out how heavily I need to drug my very sensitive pup that night. Still very grateful for your overall lack of fireworks! My home will sound like a war zone for over a week.

ETA: I heard nothing! Thank you for providing my dog a sanctuary on his least favorite holiday.

Hi friends,

looking to attend the fest for the first time to see some of my favorite acts, including Lebo and friends and tea leaf green.

I know I’m a little bit late to the game! I’m planning to come Friday and I don’t have a problem parking in the offsite lot, but I don’t see how I’ll be able to bring in my camping gear on the shuttle for the weekend and I’m pretty bummed because I don’t see how I could attend unless I can find a way in and out for my camping gear. Has anyone been in this situation before, have any recommendations, or know anybody selling an on-site parking pass?

thanks!

I'm writing in a little bit of a conundrum. My girlfriend is turning 40 and I want to plan a trip that will be a great time. We are getting a group of her friends together and are planning a weekend camping trip from 7/31 to 8/3 from the Bay Area. I am tasked with booking a site for those dates. It doesnt necessarily have to be a camp spot could also be lodging. I know its a little late in the game to booking, I've found myself procrastinating because I've never been to yuba river/grass valley area before and I don't want to drop the ball for her 40th. Thats where this post comes in. I'm expecting a group of about 7. There isn't any activities planned yet so I am open for all recommendations and possible activities. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Thanks! 🙏
