⌚️ Planning ahead

Tax season reminder: The April 15th deadline is just around the corner. If you're not planning to file an extension, now’s the time to start getting everything in order. For complicated returns, check out Stone Ridge CPAs locally, otherwise just jump on TurboTax or H&R Block and get to it.

Check that roof – Getting it checked once a year is recommended. Great Basin Roofing is one of our top picks in the area if you need any repairs. 

Date night?!: Take your special someone somewhere special. Grab yourself a steer at Bimini Steakhouse inside the Peppermill Resort – book a rez ahead of time.

La Fiesta de Mayo: Coming up May 2-3 – Celebrate culture, food, and tequila at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center with craft vendors, delicious eats, and tastings!
