Uhlhorn to speak at March 17 FRW meeting

The Fernley Republican Women will feature Fernley ACES (Art Culture Event Squad) founder Dana Uhlhorn as the guest speaker at their March meeting, taking a brief break from political programming before campaign season begins.

The meeting will be held March 17 at the Fernley Senior Center, 105 Lois Lane. A light meal will be served at 6 p.m., followed by the meeting at 6:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend, and RSVPs are requested.

Uhlhorn was born in California and moved to northern Nevada at age 5. He began working in construction at a young age, spending time on job sites as early as 10. After back issues forced him out of construction, he shifted to building and painting custom cars and later owned several body shops.

Starting a family led him to a new career in real estate. Uhlhorn has been a licensed Realtor since 2009 and founded 1st Option Realty in 2016. In 2018, he launched Fernley ACES to promote art and community events. The organization has since grown to a board of about 10 members and another 10 or more contributing artists and volunteers, organizing projects such as community boards, haunted houses, and the Music, Murals and Margaritas events.
