Tom Ballou, Bar of America’s General Manager said, “The Truckee-Donner Historical Society members brought Truckee’s rich history to life for me.  They are extremely generous with their time and resources helping us understand the historic and architectural continuity of our site at Bar of America. We are happy to make this contribution. And we love throwing parties!”
 
Chaun Mortier and Chelsea Waltersheid of the Historical Society said, “It was very exciting to see the great amount of enthusiasm, impossible work and expense these guys put into the preservation of this fine historic building.  They have brought new vitality to historic downtown.”
 
As many Truckee locals will say, Bar of America goes over the top with exciting and energetic events; this event should be no different.

“Every dollar we raise for the park goes back into the park,” Knudson said. “Parks down in Sacramento, San Francisco and Marin County have consulted us trying to see what we did to survive. But it takes a lot of time. People won’t, or can’t, work for free, so that’s why our project has happened when others haven’t.”

Instead, they rely on private donations, fundraisers, sponsored advertisements and discounted services from friends and community members. Scott Schields, an excavator forAlpenglow Sports, has voluntarily cleared vegetation from the park lands for the past four years as more features are installed.
​
New Belgium Brewing Co. donates kegs of beer to nearly every park fundraising event. Local restaurant owner Tom Turner, whose properties include Bar of America, Caliente andGar Woods Grill and Pier, is also one of the park’s biggest supporters.
