VC Silver Circuits go to Rennervation at the Fourth Ward Schoolhouse in Virginia City

What an incredible day volunteering with the Rennervation Foundation, helping give foster and at-risk youth a truly wonderful Christmas experience! We are so grateful for the opportunity to be part of such an amazing day. Our team designed and 3D printed 348 ornaments for the kids to decorate, making the experience even more special. We also had the incredible opportunity to meet Jeremy Renner—and he even got to test-drive Scrimbot and score artifacts!

The Silver Circuits had an ornament decorating station

They helped kids decorate 'silver circuit' 3D printed ornaments

Camel Races in Virginia City

 

This was our first time going to the Camel Races in Virginia City

There were ostrich and zebra races too

it was pretty funny watching all the human-animal interactions

the races were only about 10-15 seconds, and the animals didn't always 

want to rush to the finish line

they had some fun skits and audience activities between each race, one

of them was having some little kids chase after ducks

this was when they did a little skit with the Grinch and Santa and had different 

sections of the audience sing different songs, it was pretty funny

This was Teresa's race

Teresa's camel behaved pretty well and trotted around but didn't go directly 

towards the finish line, so another camel got there first

Andrea came and sat with me

it was all sold out

Andrea and Brent got tickets in the shaded bleachers, but my ticket was for the sunny bleachers, 

so I had to sit by myself for a while

This gang got to sit in the VIP tented bleachers

We bought some seats for Nan and Melvin as a present for Nan's birthday

food trucks

It was a really fun show - totally worth it!

they had a cool banner out front
