Another Little Something from the “Tell Me Something Good” file

Many times I am reminded of this incredible community of people who choose Nevada County.  Here is another one to make you smile.

: My story is about the free dental day on April 21. 2012 offered by Dr. Gary Sumner and his staff.  I heard about the event on KNCO and quickly noted it on my calender. I recently had lost several fillings and don’t have dental insurance so I was budgeting to have the fillings replaced, one at a time. I arrived at the event at 5 a.m. and as the sun came up it was the beginning of a beautiful day. Lots of people were there to have dental work done and Dr. Sumner’s staff was very busy getting everyone registered. The staff was giving up their Saturday on this beautiful spring day, yet they all were so nice and helpful it really seemed like this was where they wanted to be. Dr. Sumner provided breakfast snacks which I thought was great. What really blew me away was hearing that they were also going to be grilling hot dogs and burgers for lunch! AND they even provided entertainment with a live band, right there in the parking lot! It was a regular party! As Dr. Sumner worked on my filling, he remarked how pleased he was that this year the people who showed up were all locals. It was the local people he wanted to help most. I sat in the chair and listened to the friendly bantering between Dr. Sumner and his staff and thought to myself, “I’ll bet this is a great place to come to work.” It’s such a positive and happy environment. I am so grateful for everything that all those involved provided Nevada County residents with that day. They are all an incredible asset to our community!
