Kenny Loggins Last Year, Blue
Angels This Year
Think
about it: Minden, Nevada, population 3,001 according to the 2010 census. Kenny
Loggins performs to a sold-out crowd in Minden in 2017 . . . the US Navy Blue
Angels will be in Minden next week staging and performing at Minden-Tahoe
Airport. Seriously, how does this
happen!? Rather than dwell on the why, get in the mood for next week's Aviation
Roundup by enjoying the above video which shows the US Navy Blue Angels
performing to the music of Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone . . . which he performed live last year in TJ's
Corral! Many other aerobatic acts,
static aircraft displays and vendor booths will be on hand for the Aviation
Roundup – more information is on this website, tickets are available either
online or at Raley's Gardnerville. We can't wait!
What do Comedy and Fall Colors have to do
with each other? Normally nothing . . .
Unless one is describing off-color comedy!
Brian Lee visited with us last week to check out the Valley Ballroom for
the Core 4 Comedy Show he is headlining on Saturday night, November 10. Our
friend Tim Parsons from Tahoe Onstage also came down to interview Brian for a
story he will be posting online fairly soon. On his way down, Tim took some
fall color pictures on Highway 88 in the Hope Valley area. Tim shared the above
with us which is from this
article he posted with even more fall color pictures taken within
20 minutes of the Carson Valley Inn. As
for the subject off-color comedy, we asked Brian about that very subject and we
are still trying to totally interpret his response which was, "My parents
come to my shows . . . but they also have my sense of humor!" Tickets for
the November 10 comedy show are $20 and you can buy them online or at our hotel desk.

| Gotta Try the Fish Tacos Plate in Katie's! |
- Thursday is Vodka Day. We don't mind shifting the attention to our walking-distance neighbor Bently Heritage Estate Distillery which is planning on opening to the public before the end of November. While fine whiskeys are their end game (already aging in the barrels), they will have their estate vodka and gin ready to sample and buy when they open. Until then, we have a variety of vodkas available at the CV Steak bar so stop by and enjoy your favorite!
- Thursday is also Taco Day. Our hands-down favorite is the Fish Taco Plate served in Katie's every day for $7.99: Two tasty soft shell tacos with white fish, tangy slaw, rice and beans (refried or black)!
- Saturday is Noodle Day. We believe any type of pasta fits the "Noodle Day" celebration so we draw your attention to the Seafood Linguine or the Clams Linguine in CV Steak. The latter comes with our special black ink pasta!
- Tuesday is Beer and Pizza Day. There are days we'd love to be able to order pizza here at the Carson Valley Inn. However, our sister property Bodine's Casino on the south end of Carson City is hard to beat. They're special brick pizza oven produces a surface of over 600°F which is perfect for cooking every made to order pizza. Enjoy a Bodines pizza and your favorite brew on Beer and Pizza Day or any day.
