Easton Corbin is Kickoff Concert, Job Fair Thursday, Blood Drive Saturday, More

Easton Corbin Leads Off
2019 Concerts in TJ’s Corral
Easton Corbin is “first-up” in our 2019 TJ’s Corral Concert Schedule. His is the second-fasted selling concert of the four we have announced so far. Here are a few tips, answers and observations after our announcement a week ago:
  • Yes, we will have more than four concerts and we'll announce them as soon as they are finalized. Be sure to check our new blog posting every Wednesday at 7 AM and also follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
  • Dwight Yoakam concert tickets are selling faster than we expected and it looks like this concert will sell out well in advance. If you are planning to go to this concert, please act soon!
  • When you go to this page on our website you are on the correct page to buy tickets for any of our upcoming events including Sister's Easter Catechism on April 20, Easton Corbin on May 24, Uncle Kracker on June 29, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on July 4 and Dwight Yoakam on July 26. Just scroll down and you’ll find what you need.
  • When you get to our Terms and Conditions page, please read through the appropriate section as this answers the "what can I bring?" questions many have asked. Then click ACCEPT at the bottom and you’ll be in the ticket purchasing system.
Sister with "Sacramental Wine"
During Her 2016 Visit as “Father Matt” Looks On
Which “Sister?”
We’ve had two highly successful “Sister’s Catechism” shows in our Valley Ballroom: Late Night Catechism in 2014 and Sister’s Christmas Catechism in 2016.  A few folks have asked which sister will be here to teach us Sister's Easter Catechism on Saturday evening, April 20. Word around the convent is it’s going to be the same Sister who so effectively corralled the congregation, intimidated with her wooden ruler and elicited spontaneous laughter at the 2016 show. Don’t miss her return – more information here.

Job Fair This Thursday
The image above says it all – so join us Thursday as we spring into our busy season and join the never-a-dull-moment in the worlds of the Carson Valley Inn, Bodines Casino, SlotWorld Casino and Sharkey’s Casino. We’ll be accepting applications, interviewing and even making some job offers on the spot! Here is a list of current positions as of yesterday . . . And there could be even more by Thursday afternoon!

Blood Drive Saturday
Vitalant – formerly known as United Blood Services – will have their Bloodmobile Bus at the CVI this Saturday, March 16 collecting blood donations from 10 AM to 4:00 PM. You can make an appointment in advance on this web page, by calling 800-696-4484 or go to this FaceBook Event and click Find Tickets (no – you are not actually buying anything!). The Bloodmobile will be in our west parking lot, along Hwy 395 near our electronic sign. Definitely get this out of the way before you start your St. Patrick’s Day Imbibing!
