Memorial Day is to Las Vegans somewhat of a special holiday. In a town where restaurants never close and nightclubs cater to earlybirds, is there any other reason we need to fire up the grill? And what goes best with a braut fresh off the grill? Ding! You guessed it...Baseball!!! Ok, so, if you haven't been to a 51's game yet then I suggest you check for the next game and give it a shot. I dare say you will be impressed. With the lovely weather we've been having out here, on occasion that is, at least you'll be able to escape Father Sun before he decides to shine his light on us. Ouch. Speaking of ouchies, it hurts that we would have to travel to Grand Junction, CO if we wanted to get one last peek at the MLB's possible first round draft pick. Yup, Bryce Harper and the College of Southern Nevada Coyotes have made it to the Junior College World Series. So I'm guessing most baseball fans will stick with the 51's this weekend. They'll be in town until the 4th of June. Check out their schedule and show them some support.
Las Vegas Motor Speedway will be heated up this weekedn as well. With the NHRA Heritage Series and the Rockabilly Rod Reunion happening, car fanatics will be drooling at these events. Its sure to be a good time especially since they had to add a third round of qualifying because there were so many entries. Some people just can't resist the need for speed. Let me take a minute to comment on the youth sports here in Las Vegas... Whether it's baseball, basketball, soccer or football, all of which kids are still playing now, these kids go all out. We often forget about the process of becomming an athlete and the hard work it takes just to make it in the big leagues. Let's support these kids by helping and encouraging them not to give up on their goals. I would like to mention a selected youth sport program or team each week to show that Las Vegas has support for their youth. With graduation coming up and school being out, parents, you can't go wrong with a sport program for your child. There are plenty to choose from here in VegasLas . Who knows, maybe you'll be taking the trip someday to Grand Junction, CO to watch your child play in the junior college world series. Just remember me, I'm already missing this one. You have just got the scoop. Stay tuned for the next one.
