A PSA From Bierwagen’s Donner Fruit Trail & Pumpkin Patch
PSA: Please DO NOT bleach your pumpkins to make them last longer!!
I’ve seen this tip being shared all over social media this season and it stinks!
Please remember pumpkins are food, especially to lots of the wildlife! Deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even bugs.
We deliberately stick them outside somewhere where wildlife can access them, and we DO NOT want our wildlife eating bleached pumpkins
Our safehouse is in need of some love and support, and we’ve put together an Amazon wish list to help us gather essential items.
Your generosity can make a big difference in the lives of those seeking safety and peace. Every contribution, no matter how small, adds a touch of warmth and hope.

Join your neighbors and the California Heritage: Indigenous Research Project on Saturday, September 28th, 4-7 pm, for Nevada County’s 3rd Annual Every Child Matters/Orange Shirt Day to learn about the legacy of the Residential Indian Boarding Schools and its impact on the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe and other Native American groups.
Although this day is a time of education and reflection about a damaging time in our past and recent history in California, it is a peaceful gathering for sharing, healing, food, children’s activities, and music, for families to stand in solidarity to recognize the Indigenous children and Native communities who were impacted and suffered due to the Federal and private Indian Boarding Schools.

Fall formals are right around the corner, from homecoming dances (Sept. 21 at Nevada Union H.S. and later this month and in October at Bear River H.S. ) to holiday parties.
The Cinderella Project has you covered, from head to toe – for free!
The Cinderella Project provides free dresses, tuxedos and other formal clothes for dances and other special events (it’s never too early to look for just-the-perfect outfit for the prom).
New gently used (and sometimes even never used) clothes are arriving every week, from cool dresses to head-turning sportscoats and tuxedos.
Come on down and check out the Cinderella Project. Save money. Save some time. And be one of the best-dressed at the dance or special event this fall. Thanks to Mercury Cleaners in Grass Valley for providing free dry cleaning to students before and after their events.
The Cinderella Project is inside Sammie’s Nifty Thrift Shop at 535 E. Main St. in Grass Valley.
The boutique is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The Cinderella Project is a program of Bright Futures for Youth, which includes The Friendship Club, the NEO Youth Center and SAFE.
