Take a T
aste of
Austin at
"Prospectors Dream Wine
Walk"
Yes, everyone has a lot of fun at this event! Plan a trip to Austin on September 13th for their annual Prospectors Dream Wine Walk. This is truly a unique experience where wine lovers can enjoy both a sip of wine and a taste of the town. The walk begins at 2:00 PM at the Austin Museum and continues on to several locations along the historic Main Street. A hay wagon will pick everyone up at 5:00 to take them to Stokes Castle for a sunset dinner. Following dinner, there'll be a toast with special souvenir wine glasses, then the ride back to town. It's time to take a taste of Austin!

Fly High During Eureka Arts in the Park
On September 18th through the 20th, the town of Eureka will celebrate its status as a creative oasis in the middle of Nevada! It all begins on Friday, when the town will meet and greet balloonists at the historic Jackson House. On Saturday, visitors can watch them take off at the Eureka County Airport, or maybe catch a ride and soar high into the Nevada sky (contact Eureka Activities to sign up for a ride)! There will be live music in the park, along with local artists providing basket weaving and drawing/painting classes. On Sunday, the balloons once again take flight from the Eureka County Airport.
