Village Notes: What’s happening in Incline Village

Jean Eick
Special to the Bonanza

October brings so much to Tahoe with beautiful colors mixed into the forests — and of course the hope for fresh white snow. Yes, it is time for the pray for snow parties. The earlier the better this year. Bring it on.

Bears, bears everywhere. It is time to take care of our neighborhood bears and be sure that everyone helps to keep them away from trouble. Please, please watch your neighborhoods to be sure trash is not available but also that other food items are not left in cars or garages. They are hungry and we need to protect them.

On Friday, Oct. 10, enjoy Matthew Axton, Donna Axton and Ed Platt at the Mark Twain Cultural Center & Toccata Guttman Music Hall in the Village Center. Reservations at mcavoylayne@gmail.com or 775-833-1835.



On Saturday, participate in the annual Worldwide Photo Walk. Local photograph Jim Markle will lead the Incline Village walk.
