Here are the top three stories today in Reno:
- On Wednesday, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden spoke at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno. She highlighted the American Rescue Plan and was joined by Governor Steve Sisolak, Lt. Governor Lisa Cano Burkhead, and Angela Hanks, the Acting Assistant Secretary for the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) at the U.S. Department of Labor. The First Lady learned about three programs during her visit: nursing, emergency medical services, and radiologic technology. (KOLO)
- Police are searching for multiple mail thieves in the Reno area. Cameras captured a tall, skinny thief wearing baggy pants breaking into mailboxes at an apartment complex on N. Sierra Street near the university. In a separate incident, two people — two men and one woman — are being sought for ransacking the mailboxes at an apartment complex on Mira Loma. (KOLO)
- Get ready for the Reno River Festival, which will be returning in May. This year's event will feature live music performances by more than 20 local and national acts, craft beer and hard seltzer tours, food, and craft vendors. Tickets for the festival, which runs May 7-8, start at $10, and a portion of the proceeds from pre-purchased tickets will benefit one of three charities. (2 News)
