Mother's Day 2011 is on Sunday, May 8. Mother's Day in Reno is full of opportunities to treat Mom and show her what a special lady she is. Her is a sample of potential Mother's Day activities - Arts in Bloom Festival, Mother's Day Trunk Show at the Nevada Museum of Art, the Reno River Festival, International Choral Festival, Quidam by Cirque du Soleil. Check out my Mother's Day article for more ideas and links to more information.

The Cirque du Soleil show Quidam is coming to Lawlor Events Center at the University of Nevada, Reno. Quidam is a fantasy of fun for families and children of all ages. Quidam has toured the world since 1996 and entertained over 10 million people. There will be several Quidam performances running from May 4 through May 8.

Taking Mom to Quidam is an idea for a unique Mother's Day activity, and it just so happens that Cirque du Soleil has a special ticket package with families in mind. Check out my Quidam article for more information about times and tickets.
