Six Figures for the Boys & Girls Club! Our sincere thanks to all of the sponsors, participants and volunteers connected with last weekend’s 6^th Annual Mike Tice Charity Golf Tournament.  Your generosity coupled with a lot of friendly arm twisting by Coach Tice and a gracious matching donation from Mike Pegram resulted in over $140,000 being raised for the Boys & Girls Club of Western Nevada – Carson Valley Branch. The exact figure is still being tallied and half of the money raised this year will go toward what will eventually become a permanent Boys & Girls Club facility for the Carson Valley! 

Free Cabaret Lounge Entertainment: Jonathon “JB” Barton entertains tonight, The Blues Monsters take the stage Thursday through Saturday, and Bill Wharton returns Sunday through next Wednesday! The Blues Monsters are a red-hot rockin' blues band performing a powerfully unique combination of R&B, funk, jazz, and Chicago-style blues. Whether paying respect to the masters of traditional blues, or rockin' out other tunes, The Blues Monsters get the whole house up and dancing!
