Genoa Candy Dance
Our sources in the field tell us.....
We have just heard that the rumor regarding the Silent Riders at the Genoa Candy Dance may be true. Whispers regarding The Riders coming to Genoa are fantastic and something to look forward to. We hear they will be available for photographs and will also tell tales of Virginia City days of old. May be something to bring the whole family to!
