The Genoa &#;Candy Dance&#; originated in as an effort to raise money to purchase street lights for the small, but enterprising community of Genoa, Nevada&#;s first settlement.

Lillian Virgin Finnegan, daughter of then-prominent Judge Daniel Webster Virgin, suggested the idea of a dance and making candy to pass around during the dance as an incentive for a good &#;turn-out.&#; The Genoa community did raise the needed funds for streetlights, but realized the monthly electric bill had to be paid.

The candy makers were then called upon each year to help promote the &#;Candy Dance&#; and pay a year&#;s worth of electricity for the streetlights throughout the town. Couples would come from Reno, Carson City, and surrounding areas to join in the evening&#;s fun. The Arts & Crafts Faire was added in the s, and later became a two-day event.

The first Faire was held on the front lawn of a private residence on Genoa Lane with twelve vendors. A few years later, the popular Faire was moved to the Mormon Station Historic State Monument grounds. With added expansion through the years, now Faire exhibitors are also found along a major portion of the downtown area.
