Kick up your heels at the California Trail Center's Trail-Camp Dance
Elko, Nev.—The California Trail Center is hosting a Trail-Camp Dance from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 as part of the “History on the Humboldt” series. Celebrate like the emigrants did with an evening of traditional contra-dancing. Learn traditional American dances like the Virginia Reel and round dances with live music by Elko’s own South Wind band and a professional dance caller from Salt Lake City. The dance is free and open to the public. Dancers of all ages are welcome, so bring your dancing shoes.
The California Trail Center, operated by the Bureau of Land Management, is eight miles west of Elko at Hunter Exit 292. The trail center is scheduled to open on a regular basis next summer. Until then, the trail center is available to school groups and other organizations on a pre-arranged basis. For more information about the Trail-Camp Dance or the California Trail Center, please call Gary Koy at 775-934-2467.
The BLM manages more land - 253 million acres - than any other Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The Bureau, with a budget of about $1 billion, also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's multiple-use mission is to sustain the health and productivity of the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Bureau accomplishes this by managing such activities as outdoor recreation, livestock grazing, mineral development, and energy production, and by conserving natural, historical, cultural, and other resources on public lands.
