Volunteers needed Friday at the Veterans Cemetery in Fernley

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – A trip to the Northern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery and the wreaths can’t be missed. There are more than 8,000 of them; a result of ‘Wreath Across America” festivities last December.

But they can’t stay forever.

“You know they’ve been out here for about a month,” says Rich Crombie with Nevada Veterans Coalition. “And now it’s time to pick them up and so we’ve got a little bit of an undertaking Friday morning at 8 A.M. But the coalition can’t do it alone.

That’s why they are asking for volunteers to show up here at the cemetery at eight in the morning Friday January 26, 2024 to join them to help collect the wreaths.

It’s a process he says that takes about an hour. Less time depending upon who shows up tomorrow.

Because this project is military oriented, Veterans organize it as such, with wreaths taken to various parts of the cemetery where trucks and trailers will be waiting to load them.

Crombie says there will be no pomp and circumstance.

And there are no expectations of volunteers either.

“Whatever way it is going to be easy,” says Crombie. “You are not obligated. You can pick up one wreath or 100 wreaths. Whatever you want to do. It is just the idea. We do need a little crowd to get it done.”

Crombie says if you have a pickup truck or trailer you are encouraged to bring it. Once collected the wreaths go to local goat farmers on other trucks parked out in front of the cemetery.

We are told the animals love the greenery once it gets to them.

If tomorrow won’t do, save up the energy for next December.

That’s when new wreaths arrive. They must be unloaded and then laid on the graves during a special ceremony during ‘Wreaths Across America.”

Mansion on the Nevada Side of Lake Tahoe Swiftly Sells for Million

A waterfront mansion on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe just sold for $46 million, less than three weeks after hitting the market.

The speedy deal marks a departure from the typical U.S. market.

Nationwide, homes took a median 78 days to land a buyer in January, five more than the same time last year and the 22nd straight month of homes taking longer to sell on a year-over-year basis, according to data from Realtor.com.

The lavish log cabin-like residence, in Incline Village, listed on Jan. 24 for $47.5 million. It sold 20 days later, on Feb. 13, listing records show.

The more than 7,000-square-foot residence was built in 2014, and has double-height living spaces, walls of windows, beamed ceilings, fireplaces, and plenty of rustic exposed stone and wood, listing images show.

There’s also a gym, a wet bar, a spa, a wine room, an office, two separate game rooms, seven bedrooms and dramatic Lake Tahoe views. Outside, there’s a private sandy beach, multiple decks, a heated driveway and two exterior fireplaces, according to listing information.
