🌱 Severe Flu Season Expected + Street Vibrations At Reno’s Neon Line

Hello, everybody. Helen Eckhard here with your fresh copy of the Reno Daily, filled with all the things you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Nice with plenty of sunshine. High: 77 Low: 49.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Reno who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Reno Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Reno today:

1. The Washoe County Health District is urging residents to get a flu shot. Health experts are warning of an exceptionally bad flu season this year. It could be the worst one health experts have seen in years. The prediction is in response to the southern hemisphere's severe season. (My News 4)
2. Street Vibrations will be held at Reno's Neon Line through Sunday. The event is free and will feature several different races, competitions, and poker runs. There will also be live music. Event organizers are asking the community to be mindful on the roads this weekend since there will be a significant increase in motorcyclists in Reno. (KOLO)
3. Some Reno parents are waiting longer than usual for child support payments. The delays are due to the implementation of a new child support system. The NVKids system was implemented in Washoe County in April. The old system, NOMADS, was created in the 1980s and was in desperate need of an upgrade. The delays should be resolved by the end of next month. (KOLO)
