To try and decide each week where and what to eat in and around the basin can be a challenge — there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.
If I had to select a cut of beef that epitomized the west coast, I might have to go with the tri tip. Having family and friends in the south and on the east coast, it’s amazing that this cut isn’t more recognized nationally. So, any time I get to feature it in a column (like in the case of this week), I’m like a kid in a candy store.

Register Today For Local Heroes Parade & Community Fair!
May 10, 2023 | Julie Malkin-Manning
Registration is open for the Local Heroes Parade, Bike Parade, and/or Community Fair on the Village Green.
Organized by the Incline Village Crystal Bay Community and Business Association (IVCBA) and the Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline, the Local Heroes Parade celebrates our veterans, active military personnel, and our hometown community heroes. The Incline Village General Improvement District (IVGID) Kids Bike Parade will start the procession, followed by floats, classic cars, and walking groups along the route from Southwood Blvd to Incline Way ending at the Village Green.
The Local Heroes Parade and Bike Parade will end at the Community Fair located on the Village Green featuring carnival games, information booths, and freebies from various nonprofits, businesses, and service clubs. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office vehicles will be on display for their annual Meet and Greet with Captain Blaine Beard.
The IVCB Community Job Fair is being held on Monday, May 22 from 3 – 6 pm at the IVGID Recreation Center parking lot at 980 Incline Way. Major sponsors include the Hyatt, Raleys, IVGID, and IVCBA, the community and business association. Prospective employees are invited to visit with local employers. High schoolers, retired residents, and anyone looking for extra income this summer are encouraged to attend! Refreshments will be provided by Raleys.
The Job Fair is hoping to close the gap between the extra employees needed for the summer season, along with longer-term systemic problems with finding employees in Incline Village and Crystal Bay. Jobs at all levels, professional, service, full-time, part-time, and temporary are available at many businesses. The Job Fair will have major employers like the Hyatt, Raleys, and IVGID, as well as some smaller businesses on hand, to discuss job openings with prospective employees informally in a “one-stop” setting. Lisa Hoopes, IVGID Talent Acquisition Specialist, urges prospective employees of all ages to meet and interview for seasonal and career opportunities with hiring managers.
Housing and transportation issues have led to this chronic shortage of employees. The cost of housing has become prohibitive. The high cost of commuting from Reno or Carson City has limited the pool of available employees. These are issues for the entire spectrum of employees, from service workers to professionals. IVCBA works to help the community convene and address these issues. Under the leadership of Tahoe Prosperity Center and Washoe County, the Washoe Tahoe Housing Partnership has been working for two years on a study and roadmap to give guidance to the community on housing solutions. Their “roadmap” is being presented to the Partnership on May 10th. It will be available on Tahoe Prosperity Center’s website for review. The roadmap will be presented to the community at the Washoe County Citizen Advisory Board meeting on Monday, June 5, on Zoom and in person at the Incline Library on Alder.
IVCBA held a roundtable on Workforce Transportation, bringing together agencies and employers was held in March. A meeting in June will be held to get more people interested in Regional Transit Commission’s Van Pools.
The IVCB Job Fair is meant to be a true community collaboration to create a stronger business community and meet the demanding needs of the summer season. Businesses wishing to participate should reach out to michelle@ivcba.org or register here.
Registration cost is $25 for IVCBA members and $50 for nonmembers. Participating businesses should plan to bring their own table and chairs to the IVGID Rec Center parking lot by 2:30. Event runs from 3 -6pm.
IVCBA is the community and business association dedicated to building and growing cohesiveness for the sustainability of Incline Village and Crystal Bay. We build community by organizing events and promoting businesses and nonprofits. We invite you to join as a community member or as a business. Subscribe for free to our weekly SnapShot.
