 April showers bring May flowers and that is very true this year. The desert is full of color from the amazing wildflower display right now. A great way to see them is to head out to Sandy Valley this Saturday for the Makers Market. There are blooms everywhere you look along State Hwy 161 and on Sandy Valley Road through Columbia Pass. See below for more information about the event.
 As always, please feel free to contact me and my team by phone at (702) 455-3500 or by email at ccdistf@clarkcountynv.gov. You can also follow me @JustinJonesNV on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to keep up with the latest events in the District.
