Weekend Warrior: Mid-April to Mid May (2021)

The Weekend Warrior is your guide for the best events happening around the Reno/Sparks/Lake Tahoe region! I have taken a VERY long break from the publication due to the COVID-19 related lack of events. But I hope and pray that we are back for good now and that our wonderful community can return to normalcy quickly and safely. Northern Nevada’s social-scene rocks, and we are READY to get it on!!  Have fun!
