Small county fair but it has nice rides and things to do kids will have a nice afternoon hereread more

What's a Butt (haha) County Fair? Well, if you're lucky and do not blink, somewhere along 99 North…read morein a little town called Gridley, you may see this Butte (bee-you-t) County fair usually around the end of August. This year I didn't get around to our state fair- which I try to attend annually, so, after talking to my father, we decided to pack up for the night and take a day trip to Gridley (on your way to Chico, if you still don't follow) Parking was no problem- and free. If you are to go, beware of small town scammers trying to sell you tickets...yep...theyre out there....admission is just 7 bucks, my 4 year old was free (for one more year, I think) Right away, we walked into the fun adult rides- the more popular had the longest lines, no doubt. Unlimited wristbands are 20 bucks, the grandparents watched the wee one, while the Mr and I snuck off for some coffee (try the gypsy coffee ladies Mexican Mocha) and fair shopping. Who can resist 10 dollar hats and 8 dollar sunglasses? Not this one. I went home with several, still in one piece after a week. County fairs are cute, and a nice change of pace from the usual crazy big business state fair- I probably circled the place 4 times in 2 hours- great local exhibits. We even got to see sweet little small town gangsters being escorted out- so there's plenty of security for sure. Very cool to see winners of homemade jams, flower arrangements and huge harvests. Local art is always my favorite, no doubt~it would be neat maybe one of these years to do more installations for artists- otherwise, Ill probably be here again in a few years.

This casino rocks! They have have all the typical slots, card games, and places to eat like most…read morecasinos. But, they also have a huge non-smoking section and a brewery. It was nice to find a non-smoking area that wasn't just a tiny room or the corner of the building. I wandered around for a while enjoying the smoke free air, then layed some Lobstermania. I won about $24.00, then stupidly kept playing and lost $14.00 from it. I had a pale ale in the brewery, and it was delicious. The brewery is the highlight of the casino IMO. They have great beer, an impressive menu, plenty of seating, and a stage for live music. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Worst outdoor venue I've done in all my 12+ years of experience. This is not a professional outdoor…read morevenue this is more like someone's dirty back yards. We did a wedding this past May. Place wasn't clean they didn't have much shade and place needed maintenance. Power would cut out every 15 min. Apparently they only had one breaker for all the back yard this was for the DJ, Live band and string lights. They some guy I think he was the owner was standing next to the breaker box all night. Over all place need cleaning and improvement. Maybe more breakers for reliable electricity. I took these pictures on the way out. They have old garbage, sheets of metal, machines and wood laying around. They even have a old spring mattress frame laying on the ground. Looks like a junk yard. Unprofessional!

I grew up in this area and would always drive by that big grey house and wonder who lived there. I called Jamie, the owner of the olive business, about having a wedding there and he made my day by saying yes. They had other events there, but we were their first wedding. We went and tried the olive oil and were so pleased that we ordered them as wedding favors for our guests. I have to say that the whole experience was amazing. Our wedding was so beautiful and Jamie is the nicest guy and so accommodating!! I wish I could tell more people about this gem!!
