Genoa, Nev. — Genoans will be conducting early preparations for Candy Dance at their meeting tonight, including maybe picking a poster and setting a price for the dinner-dance that consists of half the name. Town Board members are also scheduled to hear an update on recruiting a manager at their 5:30 p.m. meeting in the Genoa Town Hall.

Besides homecoming on the consent agenda, Minden Town Board members will discuss a plaque for Seeman Ranch Pond, so that not much going on in the CVIC Hall with the 5:30 p.m. meeting.
East Fork survived the scenario of multiple wildfires cropping up around the same time on Tuesday afternoon. I expect it will be determined that both fires began as a result of lightning strikes on Monday that smoldered until a breeze came up.
The wildfires are generating a little haze in the Valley, but not enough to affect air quality, which according to fire.airnow.gov is in the good range.
Minden did indeed break its 82-day dry spell, but not by much according to the official record. Weather Watcher Stan Kapler reported a trace of moisture in his gauge. Your results may well have varied.
The forecast contains the possibility of thunderstorms 2-11 p.m. today with a high temperature of 92 degrees and the wind picking up out of the northwest at 5-10 mph. The chance doubles on Thursday.
