Charlie Daniels Band Tickets, Fun Weekend Activities, 2 Motorcycle Events Coming, More

Motorcycles Coming to the CVI!

Motorcycle Riding Enthusiasts August 21 – 23:  The Carson/Tahoe Moto will be headquartered at the CVI August 21 – 24. What's a "Moto?"  It's a gathering of motorcycle riders . . . a rally, with an emphasis on discovering great roads— pavement or dirt—and meeting new people who love motorcycling. This page on their web site explains it much better! The reason we bring it up this week: The organizers just announced Streetmasters Skills Training Workshops that will certainly be of interest to many motorcycle riders.   And speaking of the organizers – we're working with four professional and successful businessmen who have grown this class-event over the past few years. Let us know how we can partner with your group, association or organization to bring your event to the Carson Valley Inn!

Motocross Acrobats on August 24th! We've partnered up with Livfast (an FMX Action Sports company) to help celebrate our 30th Birthday at a Party in and near TJ's Corral on Sunday, August 24!  Livfast motorcycle riders will be performing huge aerial stunts including 30' high jumps and backflips!  X-Games Gold Medalist Lance Coury will be one of the riders performing tricks during the show.  Lance got his first motorcycle when he was 4 years old, has been competitively riding since 1995 and he is known for pushing the limits!! Mark your calendar now for this very exciting event and watch our Blog and website for more information very soon!
