- Ronnie Milsap . . . Ray Charles personally inspired him to get started, he collaborated with Elvis - at Elvis' request, he has a method for keeping his voice in shape and he has recorded with Leon Russell, Willie Nelson, Little Big Town, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan. It’s all captured in this Q&A piece Tim Parsons of Tahoe Onstage put together after a lengthy interview with the country artist just a few days ago. Milsap will be performing his classic songs like "Smoky Mountain Rain," "I Wouldn't Have Missed it for the World," "No Getting Over Me," "Any Day Now," and many more this Saturday in TJ’s Corral.
- The Children’s Cabinet: If you don’t remember anything else about The Children’s Cabinet, just remember this: their mission is to keep children safe and families together. We invite you to read more about their mission, philosophy and values. The Children’s Cabinet provides a wide range of crisis intervention services, including Safe Place, a service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for youth experiencing violence, abuse or exploitation. Programs also include runaway and homeless youth services, substance abuse and gang intervention programming, work experience training, and independent living for former foster care youth. So, when you purchase a ticket for this Saturday’s Ronnie Milsap concert, you’re not only “signing up” for an evening of nostalgic country entertainment, you may be potentially helping someone, somewhere in northern Nevada, sidestep or mitigate a family crisis.
- The box office and “Will Call” open at 4 PM, the doors open at 7:15 PM, the concert starts at 8 PM and you may purchase your tickets at this link and help benefit The Children's Cabinet! Oh, and the obligatory stuff: please leave the lawn chairs, pets and outside beverages at home and if you must smoke during the show, please do so only in the designated area near the DCSO fence.
CVI is a Proud
Sponsor of the Aviation Roundup
As the host hotel
for the performers, we’ve been working behind the scenes for many months with
the Aviation Roundup
staff and have watched with our jaws open as they have upped the game from the
2015 show substantially. Sure the US
Air Force Thunderbirds and the The US Navy Tac Demo Team will
be back . . . but they’ll be joined at the October 7 & 8 show by the U.S. Army
Golden Knights the Royal
Canadian Air Force CF-18 Demonstration Team and an impressive “A List” of
civilian performers for an air show that will rival what you’d see in a major metropolitan
area - all right here at the
Minden-Tahoe Airport. Catch the video above as Minden-Tahoe Airport Ops
Supervisor Chris Johnson tells the story of what the event will bring.
Our Usual “This and That” . . .
 |
| Katie's Super Waffle - Want One? |
- What is it About the Third Wednesday in August? Not at all relevant to the CVI, but we find it somewhat ironic that, for two years in a row, the Minden-Tahoe Airport must close to aircraft operations for a few hours on the last Wednesday of August for a presidential visit. For you aviation geeks, the info is here.
- Thursday is Peach Pie Day and of course we sell whole peach pies at the Katie’s bakery counter or by the slice in Katie’s restaurant.
- Thursday is also National Waffle Day: The Katie’s Super Waffle is served from 5 AM until noon daily and includes a fresh-made waffle with two eggs any style and choice of three strips of bacon or three sausage links all for $7.99. And for a nontraditional way to celebrate National Waffle Day, dig into a pile of Waffle Fries in the Jackpot Café at Sharkey’s Casino!
- Friday is National Whiskey Sour Day: we asked Erin at the Cabaret Bar to do one of her videos on how she makes a whiskey sour. She just gave us “the look” and, in a friendly manner, said “it’s just sour mix and whiskey. Even with all my talents I can’t make that sounds exciting!”
- Without Them We Are Sunk! We’re talking about our incredible IT Staff that keeps things together at the Carson Valley Inn, Bodines Casino and Sharkeys Casino. We figure they must have a highly efficient lobbyist to get all four of these special “Days” lumped into one week. So, as a salute to them we recognize Internaut Day on Thursday, Webmistress Day Saturday and both Race Your Mouse Around the Icons Day and Crackers Over The Keyboard Day Monday.
