Date: November 2, 2024

 How It Works:
– We will provide 5 clues throughout the day.
– The adventure begins when someone finds the first rock with the stamp on it!
– Once you find the rock, please place it back face down so it’s not obvious to others.
– Post a picture of the stamped rock on this event page, and the next clue will be sent directly to you!
– Be ready for a challenge—the clues will get harder with each discovery!

Attendees will be greeted and warmly welcomed by volunteers.

The Silver City Schoolhouse is a historic one-room schoolhouse. It functioned as a school from 1868-1958. It opened during the Gold Rush when several thousand people lived in Silver City. After it closed in 1958 it became the firehouse and community center. The building burned in 2004 and was rebuilt over the next several years, using as much original material as could be salvaged from the fire. The Silver City Volunteer Fire Department got their own firehouse building and today the Schoolhouse functions once again as a community center, next to the beautiful Silver City Park. The building is used for community meetings, town events, parties, art shows, classes, community art projects, coffee houses, lectures, book readings and signings and much more. It also boasts a small but beautiful library.

The Silver City Preservation Society (SCPS), a 501c3 nonprofit was recently formed to manage the Schoolhouse building and develop community programs and art and culture programming. Proceeds from the bar and bake sale benefit the SCPS.

Silver City Arts is a committee of local residents who help produce arts and culture programming in Silver City. Silver City Arts volunteers graciously help with set up, clean up, run the bar and door and contribute magnificent baked goods. We could not do the series without them and are deeply grateful for their support.

Evangeline Presents and Yellow Truck Productions produce the series. They are father and daughter team, Evangeline Elston and Robert Elston. Evangeline was raised in Silver City and is a live music promoter and producer and a booking agent with Black Oak Artists for nationally touring acts. Robert Elston is an esteemed archeologist, songwriter and musician who came to Silver City in the mid 1960s with his wife Cashion and never left.

The series is carefully curated to present the finest songwriters and musicians. They are decorated, lauded and distinguished but you might only rarely, if ever, get a chance to see them at another venue in Northern Nevada. The series offers the audience a unique and intimate listening experience in a beautiful, and historic venue. It is designed to elevate songwriting and bring world class artists to Northern Nevada’s small Comstock communities and invite people from all over the region to experience the magic.

And finally on December 21 Rita Hosking and Sean Feder grace the stage. In a wavy world where we often struggle to swim, singer-songwriter Rita Hosking paddles up and canoes us through black holes, sinks of dirty dishes, demo-derbies, and wildfires until we’re safe at shore. With award-winning music spanning 9 albums and 20 years of touring, this country-folk troubadour is a heavy hitter in the Northern California songwriting scene. 

Attendees will be greeted and warmly welcomed by volunteers. If they come a little early, they can peruse the historic photographs and artwork on the walls of the Silver City Schoolhouse while sipping a glass of wine or beer and nibbling on a baked treat, made by one of the infamous Comstock bakers.
