Huge Consignment Sale Planned for this Weekend

One of the most popular ways for savvy moms to save some money will be returning to southern Nevada this weekend.

The annual As They Grow Henderson Sale starts Friday afternoon. The group has been collecting new and gently used baby and children's items from around the valley for several weeks.

Thousands of items, including baby clothes, strollers and toys, will be organized and placed for sale at 9850 South Maryland Parkway, which is on the southeast corner of Silverado Ranch Boulevard and Maryland Parkway.

The sale will be from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and then from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. There is a $2 cash-only entry fee that is good for the whole weekend. Kids and adults with a military ID are free.

The types of classes available, as well as how much you pay for them, differ across the valley.

Bent over in downward facing dog, your eyes wander to the side wall. Paintings of varying sizes fill the space, many bearing the likeness of flowers or ohm symbols. Gazing at them, you hear the instructor tell you to switch poses, and your attention moves back to the task at hand.

New Interchange Coming to I-15 and Cactus Ave.

LAS VEGAS -- Ground was broken Friday on the newest interchange along I-15.

Crews are building a freeway interchange at Cactus Road. A welcome addition to the area for drivers, residents and businesses.

With so many new homes being built in the southwest part of the Las Vegas valley, the commute to and from the area is jammed, drivers said.

Businesses like the Boulevard Bar & Grill, which is just south of the Silverado Ranch Boulevard interchange, has been dealing with increased traffic problems for years.

Kim Blanc, the manager, said her customers are always talking about the traffic nightmare where Silverado Ranch Boulevard connects to I-15.

When the project is done, the interchange could lead to more business because more people will drive past their front door, Blanc said.
