The Carson Valley Day celebration was a decided success and was attended by at least a thousand people. At noon, the pit where the meat was barbecued was opened and the multitude of people was served with roast meat and coffee. Tables were placed beneath the trees at the park and many Valley people enjoyed a picnic lunch. Those from a distance were served salad, bread, meat, pickles, cake and coffee by the farm bureau members and the American Legion.

Many thousands of trout have been stocked in rivers, lakes and streams in western Nevada during the past several months.
