The Local Lens – Halloween Arrives this Thursday!

October 23, 2024 | Linda Offerdahl

LET ME JUST SAY, THERES A LOT of DRESSING UP  to do in the next couple weeks! And I’m not even thinking about cold-weather dressing, but I will get to that too.

TRAIL OF TREATS AND TERROR THIS THURSDAY NIGHT!

IVGID puts together this (not really) scary family event for Halloween. This is the “costume parade” of Incline families all decked out for trick or treating before it gets dark. Your ticket is either a child who is attending or volunteer for one of the many organizations that decorate a table on the trail. Or just come down to the Village Green, in costume of course, to watch the fun. Donate to it through ITF

CHILI COOK-OFF ON FRIDAY NIGHT

The taste and smell of chili are in the air…. As local restaurants prepare for this year’s Chili Cook-off and Beerfest on Friday at the Chateau, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline. Cowboy boots and hat are not required, but dressing up makes it more festive.  Thanks to Rotary fundraisers, over $30,000 is invested in education and youth programs, along with family advocacy organizations.

Friday night is a popular night for Halloween events too….yet another chance to wear that costume. Boys and Girls Club has their annual Harvest Festival in Kings Beach and DID YOU KNOW…Sand Harbor has outdoor movies on Friday night? It’s called Spooky Harbor. This Friday is a Kids Fall Festival, as well as a showing of Trick or Treat Scooby Doo.

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?!

No one is leaving the dogs out, especially not WARF!

October 26: A local animal rescue organization is hosting  a Halloween event and dogs are invited! Doggie costumes please! (Don’t you wish there was a costume store in Incline?)

KUNR IN INCLINE!

More local journalism is needed in the region, but especially in Washoe Tahoe, aka Incline Village and Crystal Bay. With the trend moving away from print, radio and podcasts have become an important news source.  Find out more tonight at a reception on the UNR campus here in town. (Some of us still call it Sierra Nevada College)

WINTER WARMTH AND WELLNESS

The local churches join forces with Sierra Community House to hold a clothing and “necessities” drive to be sure that local families are ready for winter. Volunteers are needed. If you or someone you know, is among the needy, the “Giveaway” is this Saturday at the Kings Beach Events Center. Contact Lorena Herrera at St. Francis for more information LorenaA@sftahoe.org.
