We are going to try something new - two paint-outs a week (same location) for Mondays and Tuesdays. We believe there are enough painters that would attend either one. For the real serious ones, going back to finish at the same location the next day might be advantageous (weather permitting of course).
MONDAY AND TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 AND 6, 2018:
Sun Valley Regional Park, Sparks
10:00 am if not too cold. 11:00 if you want to wait a bit
Directions:
From the spagetti bowl (I-80 and 395):
- Go north on 395
- Take the 2nd exit - Clearacre Lane (exit 70B)
- Go north-east on Clearacre Lane
- It changes name to NV 443 and also to Sun Valley Blvd which is now heading north
- Turn Left on 7th Avenue
- First Right turn onto Sidehill
- Go to the end. Bennett Elementary School is on the right, and the entrance to the park is on the left
- Note: you will pass through a run-down area, but the ranger tells me the park is very safe. The people I saw there had nice cars and trucks and I felt completely safe
MONDAY AND TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AND 13, 2018:
