Gerlach has several book of face groups. They are our host town and we love to see them survive and thrive.

We won't put the details here but the post is entertaining:

(Address you can find, date you can find. B there or B ▢)

Rain or shine
Tag Sale Noon to 4, auction off the rest at 4, cash only, must remove from property by 6 p.m., anything left on site will go to the dump.
Sorry, no early sales, everyone has the same chance,
Drinks and hot dogs available
Some of the proceeds will go to mental health in Nevada (by which we mean a round of drinks at nearby bar)
We will start at noon by setting off a cannon"

It sounds like a one man theme camp!
