Join the latest book discussion on Sunday, November 19th, 2pm at the Bristlecone General Store. This time we will read Canoeing With The Cree by famed journalist Eric Sevareid (he spent more than a decade as a television correspondent on CBS Evening News.)

The book describes the adventure of Sevareid and his fellow high school friend. Walter Port, as they embark on a 2,250 mile canoe trip from Minneapolis to York Factory on the Hudson Bay. They did this as teenage novices without the aid of motors, communication or even good maps. The journey took them four months, and included shooting hundreds of rapids and portaging through wilderness. Although this was Sevareid’s first book, it clearly displays his descriptive powers.
Copies of the book are available at the BGS. For more information call (775) 234-7323.

Fezziwig Ball
2023-12-16 18:00 - 22:00 UTC | Centennial Fine Arts Building, 910 East Aultman Street, Ely, NV, 89301, United States
Fezziwig Ball
Celebrate proper Christmas cheer in the absolute best fashion at the Fezziwig Ball!
This party of the season takes place on December 16th, 6pm-10pm with the halls of the Centennial Fine Arts Building fully decked.
Fezziwig is a character from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. As Scrooge’s old boss, Fezziwig is meant to depict the absolute opposite of the well-known Christmas crank. Jolly, giving, and full of life, Fezziwig adored the holiday season and threw his very own Christmas Ball every year. The Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge back to one of these parties where he sees himself as a young man, in love with Christmas and having the best time.
A page straight out of the book, this year’s Centennial Fine Arts’ Fezziwig Ball is meant to capture the same jovial magic.
Period costume attire encouraged! Think Dickensian, mid-19th century garb. What is most important is that you have fun! This is the most wonderful time of the year, after all.
Look forward to the Elderblossoms performing. A live five-piece band, they will be providing the ambience and music for the evening.
Tickets are $35 per person. One ticket includes your food, drinks, and more!
Tickets can be purchased at Economy Drug, the White Pine Chamber of Commerce, and the Bristlecone Convention Center.

Winter Steam Photo Spectacular
2024-02-16 - 2024-02-18, 2024-03-01, 2024-03-02, 2024-03-03 | Nevada Northern Railway, 1100 Avenue A, Ely, NV, 89301, United States
Winter Steam Photo Spectacular
Railfans from around the world come to Ely to photograph winter steam in early February each year.
Photography workshops are typically intensive three-and-a-half-day experience that is based at photogenic Nevada Northern Railway, National Historic Landmark in Ely Nevada. Time stopped at the railroad. You will be able to hone your photography skills under the tutelage of well known rail photographers in the western United States.
The workshops offer an in-depth, hands-on photographic instruction in a time capsule that is essentially unchanged since it was built a century ago. The workshop will incorporate talks, edit-and-critique sessions, and photo assignments in each day’s schedule.
Learn how to navigate your surroundings and work with light, color, background, and other influences and challenges inherent in each unique setting. You will gain a better technical understanding of how to use your camera’s body, lenses, and various settings. You’ll have questions. The instructors are there to answer those questions and get you to look at the world with a new appreciation. They are there to push you out of your comfort zone.
The goal is to help you understand on how to create stronger, more interesting compositions using wide angle, normal, and telephoto lenses. You’ll have the chance to discover new ways to use color and pattern to add depth, emotion, and graphic power to your images. This will help you transition from just taking pictures to expressing powerful ideas through your imagery. Expand your ability to choose compelling subjects and portray them in more meaningful ways.
The highlight of the workshops might be the night photo shoots. Using “Hollywood” level lighting equipment, you will have the ability to photograph the night in a whole new way. You will have the chance to experiment with different settings, viewpoints and capture outstanding images that you thought would be impossible.
By the end of the workshop, you will be tired but will be leaving with a new comprehension of what it takes to “get” the shot. You should be more comfortable in using your and professional equipment. You will be looking at the world with a new awareness and judgment. Attending the workshop will make you a better photographer. You’ll have the best tools and use it with confidence!

About Spike
Spike McGuire is an internationally touring musician that has performed in 16 states and 5 countries as well as a GraphTech Guitar Labs endorsed. He is known for his work as founder of Loud As Folk. On the rich spectrum of folk music McGuire resides decidedly closer to Pete Seger than Peter, Paul, and Mary and has spent the last decade and a half drawing parallels between the ethos of punk rock and the spirit of folk music by building community and engaging listeners with his message. The lessons McGuire learned on the road now serve him well in his position of Executive Director at Brewery Arts Center in Carson City, NV.

Schellraiser Music Festival 2024
2024-05-30 - 2024-06-01 | McGill Pool Park, 5535 North McGill Highway, McGill, NV, 89318, United States
Schellraiser Music Festival 2024
The Schellraiser Music Festival is the biggest music event this side of Fallon. Schellraiser Music Festival 2024 is full, three-day festival with over 30 musical acts from all over the country.
Schellraiser crosses multiple genres for music everyone can love.
Check out this year's amazing lineup HERE!
Find Lodging for This Year's Music Festival HERE!
Per Schellraiser:
Schellraiser was born in the cool, high desert of Eastern Nevada’s Steptoe Valley, three hours from Salt Lake City.
We’re about as far away from mainstream tastemakers and trendsetters as you can get — geographically, philosophically and sonically — and our lineup reflects our love of alternative and independent music, from country to cumbia, punk to pop and soul to psychedelia. We’re equally far removed from the stresses and strains of urban life: Our venue sits next to some of the largest natural warm springs in the Great Basin, surrounded by high mountains and some of America’s most pristine wilderness areas.
First-year headliners the Old 97’s front man Rhett Miller said that this music festival is the best-crated one that he’s ever seen. The Moving Panoramas agreed by calling Schellraiser “an amazingly curated bill in a very special, rare setting.”
Schellraiser’s home base of McGill is an old mining company town in the shadows of Nevada’s longest mountain range — the Schell Creeks — which rise more than two miles above sea level just to our east. We’re minutes away from the High Schells and Bristlecone wildernesses, and within an hour’s drive of nearly a dozen other designated wilderness areas.
