Lake Tahoe Posts - Incline Village & Crystal Bay

Everyone has been through so much this past year, and Small businesses NEED your support. Saturday, Nov. 27 is "Small Business Saturday"! What a great day to visit our local businesses and get started on your holiday shopping, buy gift cards, grab a bottle of wine as a hostess gift, and so much more. Plus, it's the 2nd day of our Semi-Annual Wine Sale--our largest EVER!

Two more seasons of road work remain on Incline Village highways after construction was wrapped up for the year this week, officials announced Friday. The Nevada Department of Transportation and Q&D Construction crews enhanced the existing roadway and installed 57,000 linear feet of underground conduit line along State Route 431 from Mt. Rose Summit to the SR 28 intersection; east of the SR 28 roundabout toward Crystal Bay; and west of the SR 28 roundabout to the Northwood/Southwood Boulevard intersection in Incline Village.

Merry Christmas to all,

Yes, it’s Early Black “Saturday" Shopping at your favorite thrift store: The Village Christian Thrift Shop. We have discounted NEW gifts and decorations and of course our lovely repurposed Christmas trees, decorations, clothing, furs and household needs. The media is reporting seeing empty shelves in stores already especially electronics, games, toys and Christmas decorations. Guess what? We have all of those and more. We’ve extended our hours this Saturday only so you’ll have plenty of time to shop. Santa will be making an appearance and we’ll have music. Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday November 13. Hours 10-4. Come early, shop often.

So, please help me if you can. What in tarnation is a Bitcoin, anyways? To my mind, a day’s work has always earned an American dollar, a Russian ruble or a French franc. I understand coins are disappearing as they aren’t worth much anymore, but what is a Bitcoin, and what’s it worth? I posed this question to a savvy friend of mine and he shrugged his shoulders and said, “sixty-six thousand?”

Dozens of Incline Village community members gathered Monday to celebrate the legacy of longtime community leader Geno Menchetti. The Incline Village Crystal Bay Visitors Bureau honored Menchetti, one of its founding board members, by unveiling a new welcome sign, “D.G. ‘Geno’ Menchetti Visitors Center” by unveiling a new welcome sign at a rededication ceremony.

Incline Village Community Hospital has received the largest charitable grant ever for the Tahoe Forest Health System, officials announced Thursday. The Incline hospital was the recipient of the Helmsley Charitable Trust’s rural healthcare grants and received $1.8 million that will be used to purchase a new computer tomography scanner, a fixed x-ray device, and related costs. The advanced equipment will produce a higher quality image, improving health status assignments and proper course of care in treatments.

With Lake Tahoe area resorts preparing to welcome the return of winter and kick off ski season, the Tahoe Fund announced that the Plates for Powder program is back after a brief COVID-caused hiatus. Those who purchase a new Lake Tahoe license plate in either California or Nevada before April 1, 2022 through the “Plates for Powder” program receive a free lift ticket to one of eight participating Tahoe downhill or Nordic resorts, or a Tahoe City Sports Park season pass to be used during the 2021-22 winter season, while supplies last.

We are SO excited to announce that discounted shopping, free appetizers, drinks, and fun are BACK for this year's Ladies Night! Join us for a night of fun on Tuesday, November 23rd at our Donner Pass location!

Thanks to IVCBA hosting Northern Lights and bringing back Sip and Shop Saturdays! We'll see you Saturday November, 27, 2021 at Christmas Tree Village!

Thanks for helping to #paintthelakepurple and raise awareness during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We are wrapping up #DVAM2021 with our final challenge and want to hear from you about something you learned. It can be anything....even something as simple as "I learned that purple is the color for domestic violence awareness."

Don't be shy. Share it out!

And remember to tag us on social media - Sierra Community House and use those hashtags: #healthyrelationshipsforall

Hey, ladies! Something's coming up... and we're getting excited! ? Mark your calendars and be on the lookout NOVEMBER 2ND on our social media accounts for some exciting news we think you won't want to miss!

Thanks to the record-breaking October snowfall, most of the ski resorts have bumped up their opening dates which are listed below. As we are already experiencing "pent-up demand," it's best to book your vacation rental early. Take a look at some of the best options for large family gatherings or quaint and quiet condos, and then contact us as soon as you can!

So, are we going to save ourselves or press the snooze button? I read an article in the New York Times by Damien Cave that gave me a shiver of renewable hope that there might be a mere mortal out there who could actually, should prayer fail, save us. Andrew Forest is his name, an Australian mining magnate who is coming in out of the cold to perhaps take the lead in the climate change revolution. Go Andrew! I only weigh 150 pounds, and you can see my haymaker coming from last week, but I’m at your back.
