“Home means Nevada,
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pines.
Out by the Truckee's silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
There is the land that I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden west
Home, means Nevada to me.”
We want to wish everyone a very Happy Nevada Day!

Your dog called. They said you forgot something. 💩🐕
We love dogs. Big dogs, little dogs, fluffy dogs, dogs who think they're people. We love them all!
What we don't love? Finding their little "presents" on the sidewalks and streets of Virginia City.
So, here's your friendly reminder: If your dog drops it, you scoop it!
Bring a bag, pick up after your pup, and help keep Storey County streets clean.
Your neighbors (and their shoes) thank you!
