After what many residents around town would call a relatively mild winter season, it appears that spring has finally arrived.  As locals will tell you (locals being anyone living here for more than 20 years) spring means the daffodils begin to bloom, the mornings are cool, the afternoons are sunny and beautiful, and the evenings require a sweater.  And, spring really isn’t spring without the last snow storm.  We had that recently so, it is official, spring is here!   This means the town is gearing up for lots of activities.  The golf courses in Incline Village are scheduled to open (The Championship Course opens May 20 and the Mountain Course opens May 15 weather permitting) with the driving range and practice area at the Championship Course already open as of April 24.  The Shakespeare Festival schedule is out with Measure for Measure and Much Ado About Nothing the productions for the 2009 season.  This is a big event.  For those from Los Angeles, it is akin to going to the Hollywood Bowl.  Also scheduled as part of the Festival is the Monday Night Music Program at Sand Harbor: The Urban Village Music Series.  The music program features a variety of artists from around the world and cover a wide range of styles from Afro-Cuban to Broadway. 

Even residents around town are getting into the spirit. Some have put their winter cars away and are out sporting what is called the “summer car”.  It is easy to see. . .perfectly detailed convertibles, mini coups, Jags, Bentleys, Mustangs and more.  Heavy down jackets, snow boots and wool caps are replaced with short sleeve shirts and blouses, sandals and visors.  Yes, spring is here with summer just around the corner.

Just in time for spring, road work is scheduled on Highway 28 at Sand Harbor. May 3 – May 22 from 7:00 pm Sundays through 5:00 am Fridays State Route 28 from U.S. 50 to San Harbor will be closed to traffic (except emergency vehicles). The road will be open with no delays on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

May 22 – July 2 traffic will be reduced to one lane with a pilot car from Sand Harbot to East Lakeshore Boulevard. Motorists can expect half-hour delays. The road will be open with no delays on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
