THE BEAUTIFUL LAND
Fall Ushers In A
Season Of Activity
And Natural Color
Pour years ago Sunset Magazine featured
Nevada City and the brilliant display of fall
color tobe seen inthe city at this time of year.
The following year the Nevada City Chamber
took up the idea of drawing visitors here in the
autumn. The idea of the Fall Festival and color
spectacular was born.
The next year, the Nugget, taking advantage
of the natural beauty and the interest in an
Autumn Event that had been arousedby visitors,
natives and the merchants, published the first
Fall Festival Edition in color.
Last year the Chamber created a series of
walking and driving tours in and around the
city.. These combined both the fall colors and
selected views of some: of the best and most
interesting parts of the old gold town.
The Nugget again took advantage of the eaine
bration by offering its readers comprehensive
maps of the tours and selected pictures to aid
the visitor in deciding on and seeing the best
the city had to offer in the autumn. —
That.seeond annual Fall Festival Edition
brought fame tothe city andto the Nugget when
the California Newspaper Publishers Association awarded the Nugget first prize for the
best special edition.
It is that time of year again and the Chamber
has again planned several events to mark the
coming of the fall season. The annual Trade
Pair, the Chamber's photography contest and
Golden Autumn House Tour sponsored by the
Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Auxiliary
have all been scheduled for next Saturday to
kick off the festival.
The leaves are just beginning to turn and
should be at their peak of color this weekend.
There is a bite to the air in the mornings and
evenings that was not there a few weeks ago.
Nevada County, and Nevada City especially,
offer the dual benefits of allowing the visitor
a chance to enjoy the color and season in the
atmosphere of the old gold town days.
The Nugget, inthis Third Fall Festival Edition,
offers a pictorial album of Nevada County.
Some of the views are current, some are of
things which have virtually disappeared from
the local scene. All are combined in this
edition to display the beauty of the county
from several points of view.
Nevada City is also especially fortunate to
have been founded by a few far sighted pioneers
who brought fruit trees and hardwoods with them.
The results of these efforts can now be enjoyed
in the splashes of color to be seen locally
among the pines. The lover of autumncan travel.
in almost any. directionand find color and beauty
coupled with the nostalgia of old California.
