Looking for performers to provide some color in and around the crowd at an outdoor concert. Could be a lot of different things: balloon animals, jugglers, mimes, costumed dancers with giant paper mache heads that slowly filter in during the music and dance, that kind of thing. Daytime vibe, families, kids, on the grass.
How do you find performers like this?
Taking a boys trip with my teen son for 5 days in late July. Staying in Stateline near the casinos. He’s a runner, we both like hiking. Never been to Tahoe before.
We’ll have a car but I understand traffic is a pain. Sounds like we can walk to Heavenly and Lakeside for mountain/water stuff easily. I’ll be getting out early early a couple mornings to play disc golf at Zephyr Cove and Bijou. I want to get us out on the water on a jet ski for a couple hours. Beyond that, itinerary is open.
If you had three days or so to plan on this trip for first timers what would you suggest? A great day hike, a great trail for him to run 5-10 miles. Things to avoid at all costs. Is the Heavenly gondola and coaster ride worth it? Love to lose the crowds as much as possible but also don’t want a crazy amount of time stuck in traffic.
Thanks!
Edit: we’re experienced in outdoor safety including certifications, hike and trail run a lot, understand it’s a crowded summer destination and not complaining about it. Hoping for some “hey don’t miss this trail” ideas, etc.
Is there a secondhand store that usually has outdoor stuff? Coming through on a road trip after flying into Chicago and want to get a cooler.
Going down the hearing aids rabbit hole and Costco in general has a lot of recommendations with the caveat that experience varies by store. I’m looking for your experiences good or bad at the Albany store getting an exam, buying hearing aids, and getting service going forward.
Thanks!
Looks like Well Haus and Pause Studio are the two options in DSM. Am I missing any?
Any reviews from folks who have visited either place or another?
On a road trip this summer and trying to eat regional specialties. I’m eyeing up the brat plate at Sly’s. Other suggestions?
I’m touring Iowa this summer and looking for your town’s best BPT - who has it in your opinion?
