Much can be learned about a community by the manner it "behaves."
Reno/Tahoe is a special place to live. I moved here in 1976 and have been continually amazed at the opportunities This area offers me and the opportunities I have had to serve Reno. With the exception of Monaco, no town offers more diverse activities during the summer months, not to mention the sheer number of choices!
Last night, Nevada, Reno's Football program culminated it's rise to national awareness at the Kraft, Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco. The game against Boston College wasn't pretty, but a giant win for Reno nonetheless. Today, before Auburn plays Oregon in the BCS National Championship game, Nevada Reno is the ONLY 13-1 Division 1 football team in the country! After tonight, there will be two. That's not the story.
Thirty Eight Thousand fans drove to San Francisco to support their team. Since Reno's population is roughly 230,000, that's roughly 17% of the population of Reno! Reno is indeed a community in every sense of the word! What a wonderful place to live...

Street Vibrations.
This event is so big, it rocks at several locations throughout the region. Major event venues are planned at Harley-Davidson Dealerships in Carson City and Reno and in historic Virginia City. Rides to what Mark Twain called “the fairest picture the whole earth affords,” Lake Tahoe -- provide unparalleled entertainment. Flirt with Lady Luck during poker walks and runs and during slot tournaments. It’s HOG heaven!

Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival
The Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival performs in an open-air venue on the east shore of Lake Tahoe, between sand dunes and a rocky mountainside. One of its special charms is the laid-back ambiance as people gather, set up beach chairs, picnic on the sand and settle down to get ready for the show.
