Pre-Holiday Madness

With only two weeks to go before Christmas Day, the pressure is on to ramp up the personal and professional giving. I am fortunate to have friends who share special ideas for a night out or a meaningful gift so I thought I would share them with you too. Want to enjoy yourself in Truckee or Lake Tahoe before the masses arrive? Here are some upcoming events to help get you in the spirit:

Resort at Squaw Creek is hosting "Magical Memories" on December 12th and 19th from 9am-8pm. Activities include breakfast with Santa, ice-skating, family snowman making contest, polar bear plunge, and more! For more information, call (530) 581-6686.

Blues Traveler is coming to the Crown Room at the Crystal Bay Club in Crystal Bay! Performance is December 14th at 9pm, and is not listed on Blues Traveler's website. For more information, go to Crystal Bay Casino's website, and buy your tickets today!

SnowGods Ball returns! This legendary event supports Squaw Valley's Ski Patrol and Avalanche Education. This year's theme is Retro, and costumes are encouraged. Musical guests are Aphrodesia and DJ Mancub. Held at the Olympic House in Squaw Valley on December 15th, doors open at 8pm, and tickets are $15 advanced/$20 at door. Must be 21. More information: (530) 581-7260.

Special Gifts that won't break the bank:

Markmakers.com: This special site is geared towards children, but needs the help of parents. It teaches our little ones the lesson of giving to others, especially those in need. This site is great in that it allows for the child to decide where money should be allocated (medical, animals, shelter, etc.), and a donation can be split between different needs. Check out the website, it is worth the time!

Reno Motor Sports (RMS) Holiday Sale: This motorsport mainstay is offering sales on stocking stuffers like videos, as well as bigger ticket items like jersey/pant sets, and boots. Prices dropped by 10%-25%, so check em out if you or your loved one is a moto-geek! RMS is located at: 964 Terminal WayReno, NV Phone: (775) 322-1499
