Last weekend, instead of doing traditional Mother’s Day things, my family and I headed downtown to the Truckee River to watch some kayakers. The Reno River Festival has been around for 11 years and features world-class kayakers in a variety of competitions on the water. The event has struggled in the past and the weather here isn’t always predictable but this day was perfect. The skies were blue, the air was warm and the crowds were just right.
