| Wynonna Kicks Off the TJ's Corral Concert Season! |
And the First Outdoor Concert for 2017
Will Be . . . Wynonna
Judd when she brings her Wynonna and the Big Noise Tour to TJ’s Corral on Saturday night, April 29! Check it out
because tickets will be going on sale this Saturday morning. We’re also
announcing one more of the concerts for the coming season – the Marshall Tucker Band will invade TJ’s Corral on Friday night, July 28. While we’re letting a
few cats out of the bag, we’ll also be releasing details fairly soon about Mixed Martial Arts fights in TJ’s
Corral on Saturday, July 1, 2017.
20 Years Ago – the Carson Valley
Flood of 1997
It didn’t come
without warning . . . the forecasters had one eye on the heavy snow-pack in the
Sierra Range and the other on the Pineapple Express stretched out for over a
thousand miles in the Pacific and heading right at us. There were emergency
preparedness meetings and the TV weather reporters were not holding back in
their prognostications . . . they talked not about what might come, but what
would come. It all came down as predicted and the result . . . well the aerial
video above – a 5 minute clip from a 75-minute video – tells it much better
than the written word. Thanks to Jeff
McBryde and the many others who made this video possible. Remember those were
the VHS days and thus the quality isn’t what it would be today . . . and it was
before drones so an actual aircraft was used! The Flood Tapes were for sale in
the CVI Gift Shop back then with all proceeds going to Douglas County Search
and Rescue and the American Red Cross. Sorry, we don’t have any more and
haven’t for years!
Eagles and Ag: All the activities are
set and you can register online for the annual Eagles and Agriculture event
coming up on January 27 – 29 with two of the key social/educational events and
most tour departures here at the Carson Valley Inn. Like the swallows are to Capistrano, the eagles
(and other raptors) are to Carson Valley as they swoop in for the calving
season. Details are available at this link.
