Kids Pay It Forward with Gingerbread Houses: ‘Twas mayhem in
the Valley Ballroom this past Monday as over a zillion kids were scurrying
around at our CVI/Bodines/Sharkey’s Employee Family Christmas Party. One of the
many fun activities was decorating gingerbread houses which were delivered
yesterday to the Brookdale Gardnerville Assisted Living Facility. Lots of
interest when we brought them in – including one schnauzer who had a “street
level view” from his owner’s lap!
We'll do the Cooking, You Enjoy Christmas Dinner at Home |
Have Christmas Day Dinner at Home –
We’ll Do the Cookin’
We’d love you
to come to the CVI on Christmas Day and enjoy one of the Christmas Day Specials in CV Steak or Katie's. But, if a family
gathering at home is more to your liking, how about letting us do the cooking!?
The Inn's Turkey Christmas Dinner to Go for up to ten people includes a
fully-cooked 18 - 20 pound turkey plus all the trimmings including mashed
potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green beans amandine, cranberry sauce, a pumpkin
pie, rolls and butter all for $89.00 plus tax. The Roast Prime Rib of
Beef Dinner to Go serves 8 – 10 people and includes mashed potatoes, beef
au jus, creamed horseradish, green beans amandine, a pumpkin pie, bread and
butter for $109.00 plus tax. Christmas Dinners to Go can be ordered in person at the Katie's cashier counter or call
775-783-6664 and ask for the Katie's supervisor. Orders may be placed until noon
on Thursday, December 22 or until sold out and dinners will be available for
pickup on Sunday, December 25 between 10 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at the Valley
Ballroom doors just inside the hotel entrance. The turkey or prime rib will be
hot and the rest is cooked and will simply need re-heating per the enclosed instructions.

Elf and Santa after a Little Crawling at Sharkey's |
Sharkey’s Part of
Saturday Santa Crawl – and it’s for two good causes, Austin's House
& Carson Valley Community Food Closet! Here’s how the Gardnerville Santa Crawl works: bring a
$10.00 donation to the JT Basque Bar & Dining Room, Battle Born Wine,
Overland Restaurant & Pub, Buckaroos, The French Bar or Nevada Ugly and you’ll
receive a participation ticket (no, not the same as a participation trophy!) You can then enjoy drink specials at any or
all of the participating businesses (Sharkey’s has a Jägermeister concoction) from 6 to 10 PM Friday. All
the donations collected (you can go in for more than $10 if you wish) will be
split between Austin's House & the Carson Valley Community Food Closet. Turn
your ticket in at the end of the night to any of the bars to be entered for a
drawing for raffle prizes! The Best Costume Contest will be at Buckaroos at 10 PM
Saturday . . . but please be careful crawling back to Sharkey’s when you’re
done. Dress Up! Spread Cheer! Merry Christmas!
