ABOUT THE VENUE
For October only we are hosting the event in downtown Nevada City at the historic Nevada Theater, located at 401 Broad St, Nevada City, CA 95959. Conscessions will be available.

OUR SPONSOR
Thanks go to our event sponsor Triminator® for helping make this event possible.
Drawing on over 30 years of experience engineering woodworking and forestry tools, our founder designed a big marijuana trimming machine to increase processing speed with a patented trimming system to provide a precise and beautiful trim. After hundreds of hours of testing, growers were so impressed with the machine’s mechanical precision and raw speed they affectionately named it the Triminator®. It was built for maximum efficiency and finished with details that make every grower’s life a little easier.
