The Local Lens – Memorial Day, Clean-Up Day, & Prom Night!

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

This is such a big weekend in Incline. Many of the summer locals are arriving, people are doing their spring cleaning, and making a trip to Mountain Hardware for supplies, especially on Saturday.  Every year, they have a Customer Appreciation Day with free hot dogs and entertainment by our favorite local band, Jacked Up.

But please remember why we have this holiday and come to the Memorial Day Celebration to honor our lost military heroes. The venue has changed. It is now on the north side of the Village Green (across from the Rec Center) starting at 10 am. Honoring our Vets is a BIG DEAL in Incline.  A Memorial Plaza is being proposed by local resident Michael Grossman who is willing to fund the project estimated at more than $100,000.  It is supported by our various Vets groups, local residents, and organizations. A big shout out to the 4 Vets groups in town: IVCB Veterans Club, Military Officers of America, PTSD Now! and Onward Ops.

CLEAN-UP AND BEAUTIFCATION

The unofficial rule around planting annuals is to wait until after Memorial Day. It is so tempting to buy those flowers at Costco, but I know what will happen if I plant too soon! This is THE weekend to be sure your pinecones and pine needles are cleared from your property for defensible space. There are many native perennials that can be sustainably planted and maintained while beautifying your property. June 1 is THE day for Village trash clean-up. Gather your neighbors and head down to Incline Library for trash bags and trash grabbers supplied by Waste Not. Stay for the Block Party and hotdogs provided by Raleys and grilled by Rotarians!

SPRING CLEAN-UP ON THE ROUNDABOUT

Thanks to IPM for doing the annual maintenance on the roundabout. Spring flowers are popping up, slow down and “smell the daisies” the next time you go through it! Stay tuned for information on the planned redesign of the roundabout through the Incline Village Main Street program.

FRDAY IS THE LAST DAY…
