Thanksgiving Day & Weekend in Reno

Thanksgiving Day is right around the corner. The day centers on food and eating, so here are some of your choices besides the obvious one of cooking up a big meal at home. If you want the meal without the hours in the kitchen, check out picking up a prepared Thanksgiving dinner from one of our local supermarkets. If that isn't appealing, many local restaurants and casinos have good deals for eating out on Thanksgiving.

Besides the important stuff like lots of good food and drink, there are plenty of other Thanksgiving activities to keep you busy through the holiday weekend. Reno will have it's official Holiday Tree lighting on November 23, followed by ice skating at Rink on the River. Lots of other things to do are inside should the weather be less than pleasant. And should you be thankful about not being broke, there's always Black Friday shopping on the day after Thanksgiving. Folks with money are going to find some major bargains as retailers out there desperately try luring shoppers into their stores.

A Thank You to John Ascuaga's Nugget - For the 49th straight year, John Ascuaga's Nugget and its employees will be preparing and serving a Thanksgiving dinner for over 1000 people at St. Vincent's Dining Room, 325 Valley Road, off 4th Street and just east of downtown Reno. Serving starts at 11:30 a.m. Such unconditional generosity benefits those who partake of the meal and lifts the spirits of the whole community. My thanks go out to The Nugget and its employees.
