Silver in the Country
Silver in the Country This weekend is the 25th Anniversary of “Night in the Country” in Yerington. Started in 2002, as a 1-night event that drew roughly 900 in attendance. The festival has grown to 3-nights of camping, country music, and nearly 10,000 attendees. About 30,000 fans come out across the area over the weekend. 300 to 600 community members and supporters help out during the festival and with preparations throughout the year. All to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mason Valley in Dayton, Hawthorne, Silver Springs, and Yerington. Congratulations on your Silver Anniversary! And if you plan on being in the area, please be patient with the traffic. Everyone is just trying to get to where they’re going. So, everyone can enjoy their weekend.

Helping Hand
Helping Hand The anniversary of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) will be later this coming week. Unless you have a family member or know someone with cognitive, mobility, or visual needs, you probably don’t notice the helping hand that guard and safety railings provide. Their visual presence is obvious in every day, public space infrastructure. But the use of railings for balance and support, as fixed boundaries, and as fall protection, prevent accidents. And they help promote independent living and navigation. Even if you don’t think you need them, the continuous, passive protection railings offer provide stability, and something to hold on to, when the weather creates frozen, slick, and wet surfaces.

Going Going Gone
Going Going Gone This weekend Babe Ruth made his debut for the Boston Red Sox in 1914. Originally starting as a pitcher, the Babe’s hitting powered a change in the design of ballparks starting in the 1920s. His powerful swing obliterated home run records. As a result, ballfields were forced to push back their fences, or increase their height, and recalculate outfield dimensions. Massive construction projects were undertaken to keep his hits from going, going, and being gone. 1923’s Yankee Stadium, the “House That Ruth Built,” was considered a modern marvel of a baseball venue. Built to hold the crowds that came to watch him play. And to showcase a right-field fence, which was designed to cater to the Babe’s left-handed hitting.

Yay, Dads
Yay, Dads This weekend is Father’s Day. The 1st recognized statewide Father’s Day was celebrated in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. It became a national holiday in 1972. Coincidentally, it was three dads in the state of Washington that came up with the game of Pickleball. In order to entertain their kids during the Summer of 1965, they combined a lowered badminton net, ping-pong paddles, a wiffle ball, and conceived the foundation of the game we now know as Pickleball.

Homemade Recipes Are The Best
Homemade Recipes Are The Best It’s that time. This next week (July 25th through the 27th) is Night In The Country. What started as a Yerington area fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Club more than 20-years ago, has grown into one of the biggest country music fests in the West. Good music, people, and camping are a homemade recipe for a fun time. So pull on your boots, and get down out of town at this year’s Night In The Country.

Step Up and Rise
Step Up and Rise Tahoe Fence was asked if we would be able to build a set of stairs from engineered specs to go with a mezzanine railing we worked on. However, there was a catch. The customer wanted to use repurposed materials. Although this build was outside our comfort zone, it wouldn’t be the 1st set of stairs our shop has built. There was a spiral staircase we did some time ago with ammo can lids as steps, and fence cable as railing for a customer’s tree house. Tahoe was up to the challenge. With measurements only, Tahoe’s shop welders recreated this mezzanine staircase with a platform and safety railings. The steps are made of square steel from material shipping racks with cut-offs of expanded metal decking from security gates. The steps are attached to pipe trusses previously used as roof supports. And the safety railing is from scrap, top rail for chain link fencing. After being cleaned up, everything was finished with zinc-rich, galvanized paint. It not only looks good for our customer, but it fits as well! With only some minor alteration to the mezzanine railing, the stairs are ready to be anchored in Mound House (Lyon County.) Sometimes you have to step up out of your comfort zone and rise to the challenge.
Summertime
Summertime It’s officially Summer, and Tahoe Fence is working hard to help you relax and enjoy it.

Special thanks to Hawk and Son Enterprises Inc. for working with us on the awesome retro Tahoe stone columns. They always do outstanding work!
Channeling The Boss
Channeling The Boss It’s Father’s Day this weekend. Hopefully, you’re still able to celebrate with your own pops. If not, maybe you have good memories that make you smile whenever you think of him. Tahoe’s yard dog, Wally, was channeling our Old Man with the stare he gave while sitting in one of the office chairs at Tahoe’s Mound House shop (Lyon County.) Can picture the Boss looking over the top of his glasses and saying, “Good you’re 15 minutes early. . .” “Too bad that means you’re 5-minutes late.” Cheers to our dads that helped make us who we are. And may they be proud of who we’ve grown up to be. Happy Father’s Day!
Bright Side
Bright Side No doubt this week has been hot. Heat wave or not, it’s almost too much for Spring. On the bright side, if your driveway has good sun exposure, it could be ideal for solar-powered entry gates. Like these automated, ornamental iron swing gates by Tahoe in Mound House (Lyon County.) The solar panel uses the sun’s light to charge the batteries that operate the gates. Even at night, the gates work on the energy stored from the sun.
Friday and Fabulous
Friday and Fabulous The weather is fantastic. And it’s Friday. The end of another week. And the start of a well-earned weekend. Fabulous! Tahoe’s crews have been putting in the hours of late. They’ve been working on projects like this custom fence at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline (Douglas County.) This fence at the 9th hole is built with composite posts and ornamental iron panels and rails.
