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 satisfied.”
Home decor is a specialty for the Cobblestone Corner gift, novelty and souvenir store.
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 fix up their home.”. In addition, Cobblestone Corner has long been active in community affairs such as fundraisers.
Thank you Fallon
“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. Dave Price/Lahontan Valley News

BEST fishing hole
14
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 is always a popular destination in our area for fishing.
Liberty Pond is a favorite for local anglers as it was named Best of Fallon.
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.

BEST PiCniC SPoT
Many 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.
Locals and visitors alike discover thousands of years of history while hiking at Grimes Point.
BEST PLaCE To hiKE Readers 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.

BEST CAR WASH
18
Top Gun Car Wash Nearly 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.
Top Gun Car Wash was voted as Fallon’s No. 1 car wash in this year’s Best of Fallon.

Top annual events include food:
Cantaloupes and chili 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.
Hot chili sizzles on a sweltering August day as cooks outdo each other.
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.
The main attraction during the Labor Day weekend is cantaloupe. The annual Hearts of Gold Cantaloupe Festival is the top annual event.

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.

Their civic duty to volunteer 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. 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 battle flames pulsating from an abandoned house during a training exercise.
