Scheels had their VIP night on Friday evening. What fun! We all got bags and a map to walk around the store and find FREE items. This thrilled Joey:
There was quite the ceremony with the Sparks Mayor, Nevada Governor, President of Scheels, etc. About 2000 people showed up. The ferris wheel was running, the fudge and various simulators were FREE.
Heather and I enjoyed the people watching including a Napolean-esk guy and the prairie dogs in various poses:
This is Chris looking so helpful! (I was behind the camera going "Ok, look like you are helping someone and I will take your picture....oh, you're so grownup!")
On Saturday was the Opening Day. They had a hot air balloon out front and giving free rides. Here is a story on Reno Gazette Journal .com and you can link to a photo gallery.On Saturday, we also went to Lil Grant's football game. It was pretty exciting with a tight score and lots of kids running longs yards for touch downs.
Autumn also had cheerleading later in the day and I hear was spectacular.
In the evening we had burgers, cake and ice cream for a belated celebration of Lil Grant's Birthday with Joe & Kids, Heather/Joey & kid, and our clan.
WHEW! We need a nap...

Just reading your weekend makes me tired. OOooo VIP bags, what kinds of surprises did everyone end up with?
Way to go Grant and Autumn! We were cheering for you, although we were on our couch at the time and they were quiet cheers :)
Did follow Chris around like paparazzi? That'll get him noticed by the president for sure.
My first thoughts on the prairie dog pictures: "Get out of the way, I'm prairie doggin' it!"
Wish we could be closer so we could be a part of it (do I seem to say that alot?... hmmmm).
Looks like fun! Nana really seems to be enjoying herself:) The store is very impressive! Synnova's favorite picture was the ground hog. Bottoms Up!
I can't give the details on the free goodies, it would ruin the surprise for christmas.
Cheapskate:)
