Cobblestone Corner

For the past 21 years, business partners Dee Dee Ferguson and Lani Peel as well as their staff have greeted customers to their Cobblestone Corner gift, novelty and souvenir store.

And it is the Best Gift Shop for the Best of Fallon 2012.

Located at 40 E. Center St. — the third site the store has occupied — Cobblestone Corner’s objective is to satisfy various needs of customers in Fallon and beyond.

“We try to satisfy people from Fallon and from outlying areas with home decor and gifts,” Peel said. “We see people from Reno, Fernley, Lovelock, Hawthorne ... We try to offer them things we think they want and we try to make the gifts affordable. Our goal is for the customers to feel satisfi ed.”

Cobblestone Corner features various home decor items such as candles — “We have all kinds of candles,” Peel noted.“We try to specialize in home decor that help our customers brighten up their home or help fi x up their home.”.

In addition, Cobblestone Corner has long been active in community affairs such as fundraisers.

“We strive to be a good example,” Peel said. “We feel pretty blessed. We are thankful to have them (the customers) because without them, we wouldn’t be here.”

For information, call 423-0444.

The best fishing hole in the county is Liberty Pond south of Fallon and across the highway from the Churchill County Fairgrounds.

The pond is located on the eastern edge of the county park and is stocked by the Nevada Department of Wildlife with catchable size rainbow trout during the colder months.

Lahontan Reservoir, which was our readers’ second choice, provides walleye and some rainbow

trout fishing all year long. Angler’s come to the reservoir from all over western Nevada.

Crown CollisionCrown Collision Service bills itself as “a one-stop

automobile repair shop.” And is now the full-service automotive collision repair center, which has serviced Fallon and the surrounding area from the same location at 730 South Taylor Street since 1967, that can be called Best Auto Repair Shop for the Best of Fallon 2012.

Crown offers state-of-the-art equipment and technology in its approach to repairing any automobile or recreational vehicle. Computerized color matching and sonar frame measuring systems are used to “ensure customers have their car, truck or RV returned in pre-accident condition.” At Crown, quality repair is not merely expected, it comes with a lifetime warranty to the owner of the vehicle.

“Our goal is to be your shop of choice,” said General Manager Tony Myers, who has been at Crown for the past 15 years, 10 of those as a bodyman.

Crown’s stated mission is “to make our customer’s accident recovery as painless as possible ... To uphold the family values of honesty, integrity and fairness with all.” Furthermore, Crown has service arrangements with well-known towing companies around Northern Nevada and has a service arrangement with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to meet a customer’s towing and rental car needs at any hour, seven days a week.B

BEST PiCniC SPoTMany readers recognize Laura Mills Park for its tranquility, especially during the spring and summer months when the weather is good. For that reason, readers selected Laura Mills Park as the top picnic spot in the Best of Fallon. Not only can people enjoy the peacefulness of the park, but others, especially the children, are excited to use the playground equipment.

For those wanting to exercise after their picnic, the park’s paths are wide enough to accommodate multiple walkers or joggers as well as dogs.

BEST PLaCE To hiKEReaders selected grimes Point as the place to hike and the second most popular place to picnic. The Grimes Point Archaeological Area is located 11 miles east of Fallon off of U.S. Highway 50, and features rock writings and drawings that are more than 8,000 years old. Hikers enjoy the paths and imagine what Native Americans were trying to say through their work thousands of years ago.

The gazebo is a popular picnic place at Laura Mills Park. Locals and visitors alike discover thousands of years of history while hiking at Grimes Point.

Top gun Car WashNearly nine years to the day when they opened Top

Gun Car Wash, Kristen and Randy Evans discovered they were recognized as Fallon’s best.

Top Gun was voted the top car wash for the 2012 Best of Fallon.

“It just means that people really appreciate the quality of car washing we do,” Kristen Evans said.

The Evans, however, opened the car wash in February 2002 after frustrations boiled over with a now-defunct car wash. At first Top Gun was self-serve, but as business grew so did their operation.

In the years since, the Evans have three locations and a fourth on the way.

The Bottom Road location allows Top Gun customers to select from a variety of packages including carpet and window cleaning, exterior and a full detail.

The full-service operation was one aspect the Evans thought could benefit Fallon instead of having to drive to Reno.

Top Gun employs 12, including the Evans’ son, Jon, who helps run the business. Top Gun is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday during the winter months. During summer, Top Gun is open from 7 a.m.-6:30 p.m.

The Best of Fallon’s top annual event, as determined by LVN readers, is the The hearts of gold Cantaloupe festival. Every year, the festival honors the Lahontan Valley for its contributions in agriculture, especially with the growing of the coveted golden cantaloupe.

This Labor Day weekend event is a tribute to one of Churchill County’s top agricultural products. Festival-goers are able to sample sliced cantaloupe, cantaloupe jams, jellies and ice cream in addition to enjoying those favorite cantaloupe libations.

Top annual events include food: CanTaLouPES and ChiLi

Nothing sizzles more on a hot August day than a steaming bowl of chili. Readers selected the annual Overland Hotel’s annual Chili Cook-off as one of the top annual events in Fallon. Sanctioned by the International Chili Society, the one-day Chili Cook-off draws cooks from Northern Nevada. Chili and Salsa cooks compete against each other for prize money. This is also a fundraiser for the Churchill County Search and Rescue.

Hot chili sizzles on a sweltering August day as cooks outdo each other.

The main attraction during the Labor Day

weekend is cantaloupe. The annual Hearts

of Gold Cantaloupe Festival is the top

annual event.

Volunteers train continuously to refine their techniques in serving both the city of Fallon and Churchill County as first-responders. For this reason, the top volunteer in this year’s Best of Fallon is a collective honor to be shared among the firefighters who put their lives on the line when fighting a blaze or saving lives.

Firemen prepare to enter a burning building searching for occupants.

Firemen battle flames pulsating from an

abandoned house during a training exercise.

The fallon/Churchill fire department has been recognized as one of the best volunteer organizations in the country as evidenced by its ISO 1 rating.

Sand MounTain RiSES aBovE ThE REST

There is only place to go for off-roading according to our readers in the Best of Fallon.

Adventurers travel for miles and miles to experience the thrills of Sand Mountain, rising more than 500 feet from the desert floor and located approximately 30 miles east of

Fallon on U.S. Highway 95. This is an off-roader’s paradise with the enormous sand dune being a popular recreation site for those with quads, dirt bikes, dune buggies, even the occasional skier and sand boarder.

Thousands of riders visit Churchill County every year to test their intrepidness on the massive sand dune. Major holidays such as Memorial Day and the Fourth of July attract the majority of riders to the popular recreation area.

Riders take off across the sand at Sand Mountain.

On major holidays, Sand Mountain transforms itself as a small city with thousands of outdoor off-road enthusiasts.
