Genoa, Nev. — Both the Genoa and Sertoma Oktoberfests were well attended this weekend. I’m reaching out to both groups to see how things went otherwise.

Barring a successful legal challenge, there will definitely be a primary on Feb. 6. President Biden faces eight challengers, while former Vice President Mike Pence faces four, according to the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office on Friday.

Most Republican candidates for President plan to caucus. The actual nominee for each party will be selected at the 2024 national conventions. The Republican National Convention is July 15 in Milwaukee. The Democratic Convention is Aug. 19 in Chicago.

Expect a hazy morning as smoke from a variety of prescribed burns wafts into Carson Valley. Air quality dropped into the unhealthy for sensitive groups overnight.

Backyard burning returns to East Fork Township starting Friday. The U.S. Forest Service also has several burns planned for the region, including above Genoa.

Expect increasing cloudiness and a high near 80 degrees today. The wind is forecast to pick up out of the west at 10-15 mph.
