As a reminder, we’re drawing a few names every Monday to qualify for the Ultimate Tailgate Package which will be given away during the Monday Night Football game on December 18. The Winning Seat is a free fun app (see video above) you can download on Google Play or the Apple Store and there are plenty of prizes to be won!

DHS Athletes to Swarm TJ’s Corral

The Douglas High School Athletics Memorial Dinner will be held in TJ’s Corral on Saturday, September 30 from 4:30 PM to 7 PM and this is a great opportunity to enjoy a barbecue dinner and help support the sports programs at Douglas High School. The event is sponsored by Block D, the DHS Athletic Department and the DHS All Sports Boosters and they’ve assembled quite an army of ticket sellers made up from members of the following DHS sports teams: Football, Cross Country, Tennis, Volleyball, Boys Soccer, Girls Soccer and Girls Golf. They’re all out now selling the $25 tickets which get you in to chow down on a buffet of Mesquite BBQ Chicken Breast and Chicken Thighs, BBQ Saint Louis Baby Back Ribs and Smoked Beef Brisket plus an assortment of salads, sides, and desserts. Here’s the best part: all $25 of your ticket price goes towards Douglas High School sports programs and the kids help make this possible by assisting with the set up, serving and cleanup. In the unlikely event you are not approached by at least one of the members of the teams mentioned above, you can always stop by the Tiger Cage at Douglas High School or call them at 775-782-5136, ext. 1868.  Beer and wine will be available for purchase for the adults.

This’ll Get You Psyched for the Aviation Roundup!

A whole slew of military and civilian performers and static aircraft displays will be on hand during the Aviation Roundup at  Minden-Tahoe Airport on Saturday and Sunday, October 7 & 8. Get into the spirit by watching the 30-second video above and save a few bucks by getting your tickets in advance at this link. If you are more “tell me” than “Show me,” read all about it in this article from the Record Courier.

Hungry?

Having no idea how this all comes about, we’re just pointing out that Friday is National Double Cheeseburger Day, Sunday is National Monte Cristo Day and Monday is National Cheeseburger Day. Each of these days has a “story” and we invite you to click the links to read more about them. From our perspective, it’s more about sharing how you can celebrate these days in Katie’s at the Carson Valley Inn: our Classic Cheeseburger starts with a 1/3 pound char-grilled burger to which we add your choice of cheddar, American, Swiss or Jack cheese. We serve it with lettuce, tomato, onion and pickles plus your choice of fries, potato salad or coleslaw. If that’s not quite enough, punch it up with another patty and more cheese and enjoy one of our Super Double Cheeseburgers! Our Monte Cristo is actually one of the Katie’s menu favorites. This deep-fried sandwich has ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, American cheese and syrup and also includes your choice of fries, potato salad or coleslaw.

Free Entertainment in the Cabaret Lounge

Patrick Major tonight, Arizona Jones Thursday through Saturday, NFL Football on Sunday and Monday and Bill Wharton Tuesday and Wednesday. Patrick Major performs his own mix of original guitar and vocals combined with rock classics from the last four decades. In a scene so often dominated by technology and gimmicks, Arizona Jones prefers to do it the old fashioned way - live and personal. And when they put their rockin' spin on classic R&B hits from the 60's and 70's, you never know who'll be singing louder, the audience or the band. They play the hits from Aerosmith and Amy Winehouse to Wilson Pickett and ZZ Top . . . and many artists in between. Local artist, Bill Wharton has a vast repertoire from old classic country thru modern country, pop to classic rock, blues and jazz.

Sunday is International Country Music Day - a great excuse to share the new Justin Lee video that was shot, in part, in TJ’s corral at a free concert back on August 12. Interested in how it all came together? Check out the video above and, if you were at the concert, you might even see yourself in one of the shots!
