The Gambler is Back
Speaking of gambling, Darrell Sheets of Storage Wars fame is opening a new business at 1545 Industrial Blvd. called Show Me Your Junk.
According to the Today's News-Herald story by Buck Dopp, Sheets will be displaying and selling a massive inventory of items he’s acquired at local garage and estate sales. He will also make cash offers for must-have items. Nicknamed "The Gambler" from his 13 years as a reality TV star on the A&E hit series, Sheets made high-risk bids on abandoned storage lockers without knowing their contents.

Sheets scored the biggest profit ever recorded on Storage Wars when he paid $3,600 for a storage locker containing a million dollars in merchandise. Sheets tells the newspaper, “The amazing thing people don’t know is that if you get off your lazy butt and get out of bed in the morning on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you can get a lot of cool stuff. Then you can go the Swap Meet and sell it or sell it online.”

You'll flip for freestyle PWC competition. |

U.S. Freestyle PWC Championship, Bridgewater Channel at London Bridge, May 13, 2023 – A personal watercraft competition sculpture on Lake Havasu City's Island District bears witness to the sport's enduring appeal and imprint ingrained in the city's lifestyle. And for good reason: the city is home to the US Freestyle Championship and helped originate freestyle competition.
Freestyle is one of the fastest-growing adrenaline watersports since the personal watercraft's invention. The US PWC Freestyle Championship is the tour that separates freestyle competition from high-speed racing on personal watercraft. Watch for unbelievable aerial maneuvers such as back flips, barrel rolls and submarines.
