Hot August Nights
Shine your Chevy, detail your Deuce Coupe and hustle your hot rod over to Reno and Sparks' Hot August Nights for a celebration of America's love affair with cars and rock & roll.
This "blast from the past" allows baby boomers to relive the "happy days" and it provides an opportunity for those who didn't experience the 50's and '60s firsthand to enjoy the era. During these five days of yesterdays, cars are "cherry" and cruisin' is "too cool."
Cars are the stars and rock 'n roll rules through dozens of concerts -- most of them free -- throughout the event.
2ND Annual Wanderlust Festival:
The festival features yoga classes with world-renowned instructors; live music with such headliners as Moby, Bassnectar, Yard Dogs Road Show, Brazilian Girls and many more; and organic food and bio-dynamic wine experience with product sampling, wine tastings plus a Farmers' Market.
It's all at the Village at Squaw Creek.
Tickets: starting at $29.50 per person. Full event passes are available also.
Paddle Pedal Patter Kids Triathalon
Participants will kayak, swim or walk in the water for the first leg of the race, followed by a 1.8 mile biking course and a .2 (2/10) mile running course around the Marina. Every athlete will receive a participatory medal, race bag and t-shirt.
Cost: $18 per child, early registration; $20, race day registration.
Kayak Fundraiser:
Check it out…a kayaking fundraiser launching Sunday on Tahoe. Aaron Hussmann and Greg Anthenien, will ‘Paddle the Distance for People with Disabilities'
They'll leave from Camp Richardson at 9 am Sunday morning and will kayak 72 miles in 24 hours to raise money for two organizations. The first is Camp Care Nevada, a non-profit special needs camp held at Zephyr Point every summer. The second is the Special Olympics. So far they have raised more than $1800.00 to be split between these two organizations. http://sites.google.com/site/paddlingthedistance

BOTERO EXHIBIT: Fernando Botero is an internationally renowned artist with a worldwide view. His works are celebrated in Europe as well as across this country. And a hundred pieces from his personal collection are on display at the Nevada Museum of Art. And boy is it a big deal! Big, as in gigantic sculptures. Pieces weighing in between 15-hundred and 4-thousand pounds are there as well…all sharing an over-exaggerated Baroque style.
