The KNPB Channel 5's Silver Circle Summer Soiree was held in beautiful Lake Tahoe on June 16th. The gathering was graciously hosted by Leonard and Sara Lafrance at their home in Incline Village, and it showcased one of KNPB's nationally distributed local productions, Wild Nevada.
During the evening, guests had the chance to meet the hosts of Wild Nevada Chris Orr and Dave Santina, test their knowledge of the Silver State with the Wild Nevada Trivia Challenge and enjoy a delicious selection of wines courtesy of Washoe Wine Company. In addition, some attendees took the chance to ride up to the Lake in the KNPB Wine Shuttle, where they got to sip on champagne and enjoy the road trip; while others availed themselves of the provided valet service and take a ride in a 2007 Lexus GX 470 The Ultimate Sport Utility or LS 430 Ultra Luxury Sedan, courtesy of Tom Dolan's Lexus of Reno.
