Elko Boys and Girls Club- A Worthwhile Cause

Breamar Construction, in affiliation with Century 21, will be providing a fund raiser for Elko Boys and Girls Club at the Elko Home Show in May.  Breamar is building an incredible outside playhouse and having a raffle to win it- all money will go to support the club.  Tickets will be for sale during the home show and the play house will be on site for you to see- raffle tickets will be $20.  I will post the picture of the "play" house shortly as well.

If you want American Basque food in its purest form, follow I-80 through northern Nevada. One bitterly cold week this winter I pointed my truck toward Nevada and tried to see how many Basque restaurants I could visit over the course of a long weekend. I stopped by the Star Hotel in Elko for a dish the menu called a Boarder’s Lunch, thinly sliced beef pan-fried with onions and chiles, and also for a delicious pork loin sautéed with roasted red peppers; then to Toki Ona a few blocks away for roast lamb and potatoes.
