Not much is more magical to young kids than, well, magic. Throw in a live magic show with awesome lighting and wonderful music and the kids are in absolute heaven. Our family caught The Illusionists Present Adam Trent at the Eldorado Reno and walked away with memories our family will cherish forever. This show is…

Is it fun, educational, appropriate for my kids? Dads have all sorts of questions about products, businesses and activities. We’ll review a great variety of things and give you our two cents about what they’re like and how they impact you, as a father.
Canfest – Reno Dads Night Out
“We have one goal: to give canned beer the spotlight it deserves.” Dads are people, too. And we sometimes need to go out and not be Dad for a few hours to recharge our father batteries. This will ultimately make us better, more patient fathers… in theory. So that’s what four of us Reno Dads did…

Our state animal, the Desert Bighorn…
