Summertime Western Day at the Ranch is July 29.
I am a big promoter of mentoring and giving back to children by example. So if you have ever kicked around the idea of becoming a mentor for a child, try spending the day with the Mentor Center of Western Nevada.
Come out to the Verdi Trails West Ranch, a full equestrian center 10 minutes west of Reno. Be a mentor for the day and see if you would like to help make a difference in a child's life. I will be there with my daughter
Saddle on up for this fun event.
'Hit the Trails and Be A Mentor'

The Carson High School Basketball Camp is for boys and girls entering fourth through ninth grades.
This camp is a great instructional program put on by the Carson High basketball coaches. Bruce Barnes and Carlos Mendeguia taught both of my boys, and I can tell you this camp is fun and teaches your children the fundamentals.
It is two days of hands-on instruction, lectures and demonstrations of basketball fundamentals and daily scrimmages.
It starts today, but there are some spaces left.
