2022 Sierra Valley Art & Ag Trail - A Rousing Success on a Day

No one could have asked for more delightful weather than was found this past Saturday, September 24, in Sierra Valley. Cloudless skies, no wind, and warm, not hot, temperatures created excellent conditions for the hundreds of people who participated in the 5th annual Sierra Valley Art and Ag Trail (SVAAT) and had the opportunity to visit historic cattle ranches, beautiful old barns, farms, and the displays of works created by a variety of talented artists and artisans.

One thing is sure for your correspondent, next year I'm going to get an early start on my Christmas shopping at the 2023 edition of this stellar event.

Clearly, the BBQ lunch stop in Loyalton was a very popular destination for many of the people who took advantage of the Sierra Valley Art & Ag Trail.
