The reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians was in Alamo Aug. 9 and 10. Although the show’s producers and crew may have tried to keep their presence fairly well unknown, they were spotted by some of the locals.
Keeping Up with the Kardashians is an American reality television series that has aired on E! since Oct. 14, 2007. The series has aired eight seasons, and focuses on the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian/Jenner family. Its premise was originated with Ryan Seacrest, who additionally serves as its executive producer.
The series focuses on sisters Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé Kardashian. It additionally places emphasis on their brother Rob Kardashian, their mother Kris Jenner, their stepfather Bruce Jenner, their half-sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott Disick. Khloé’s husband, LaMar Odom, a member of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers, developed a major position as part of the supporting cast in the fourth season, while Bruce’s sons Brandon and Brody Jenner were added in the eighth.
On Aug. 11, Keeping Up with the Kardashians reached the milestone of airing 100 episodes since its beginning.
A group of local boys, Christian Higbee, Ike Taylor, and friends Tabor, Brodie and Stockton Maxwell, spotted Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic Decathlon champion, and step-father to the Kardashian girls, walking along the street in Alamo, near their campsite at the Alamo RV park, and stopped to visit with him. Jenner responded by having his picture taken with the boys.
Khloé Kardashian stopped in the Great Basin Foods store in Alamo while in town.
Some filming for an upcoming episode of the program was shot in Alamo, including at Great Basin Foods, where Amy Huntsman was their checker. She said it felt a little unnatural having a cameraman standing over her shoulder.
Laci Fiatoa said she visited briefly with Khloé Kardashian in the store and took her picture.
Jenner told some of the locals who talked with him, he wanted to take his family camping, and for some reason chose to come to Lincoln County. Then one of the daughters wanted to go to Area 51, and the family did go to about as close as you can safely go. The film crew had wanted to film at the Lil A’Le Inn in Rachel, but decided not to do so.
After being in Alamo, it was reported the group went to Spring Valley State Park at Eagle Valley.
