A Friend, Nohema, Glenda & Michael Toasting Lightning Strikes!
Lightning Strikes Again!
Early this spring Glenda and Glenn moved to our area and we’ve gotten to know them as their new home is being built. They recently sustained a few “lightning strikes,” none of which caused any damage. About two weeks ago the Major Jackpot on the Lightning Link slot bank near the Cabaret along the Hwy 395 wall hit Glenda for under a thousand dollars – more like a bee sting. The big bolt came from the Grand Jackpot on the same slot bank when it struck Glenda for $11,718 last week. It was Glenn who shared this jackpot news with Julie in our Marketing Department. She was skeptical at first ‘cause he told it like one of the fishing stories that often is “spun” after Glenn has been out fishing with CVI’s MOD Malcolm and bartender Matt. In this tale, Glenn’s wife Glenda got the two fish (the money) and Glenn got to tell the story!!

Burgers, Football, Bunko, Trippin' in the Cabaret and More at the Carson Valley Inn

Welcome to Katie's!
Katie’s Captures Kudos
 “Hiding out in Minden is a 24 hour restaurant and coffee shop that is dedicated to serving up mouthwatering food whenever you want it. Whether you're looking to start off your day with a hearty breakfast or end it with some late night grub, Katie's Country Kitchen is worth checking out.”  This is just part of a very complimentary article that popped up on onlyinyourstate last week. We’d like to claim we wined and dined an influencer and this was the result. However, unless we’re missing something, we can’t trace the origin back to anything we did. So, whoever suggested these folks look at Katie’s, thank you!

Tedi Burger & Friends Kicking It Up at the Minden Moo Last Weekend
Minden Moo a Kick!
We, and a lot of you, had a fun time at the Minden Moo last Friday and Saturday as we celebrated the Carson Valley Inn’s 35th Birthday. Our thanks go out to all who participated in the Mechanical Bull Riding competition, Horseshoes Tournament, Western Dancing, Justin Lee Concert and other events. A special thanks to Coors and to the 4H members and their parents for helping Saturday night. Concertgoers’ generosity resulted in adding over $800 to the Douglas County 4-H Leader’s Council fund for those always-present unexpected expenses. 

Katie's Smokehouse Burger - Yum!
Burgers, Wind, Peaches, Bananas
  • Thursday is Burger Day.  We like the simplicity of this statement attributed to New York restaurateur and Shake Shack founder Danny Meyer: “At the base level, a burger is a piece of meat and a bun with something on it. It’s simple but it seems to make a lot of people happy.” We serve a variety of burgers at all four of our properties seven days a week and we’ll admit that we don’t adhere to Mr. Meyer’s simplification approach. For an eclectic kick-your-week-off variety, stop by for Burger Monday in Betsy’s Big Kitchen at SlotWorld and choose from a Volcano Burger, Black & Blue Burger, Fish Burger, Hangover Burger and Drunken Burger.  If you’re here at the CVI, grab one of our Smokehouse Burgers (pictured above) any day!
  • Friday is Ride the Wind Day.  For just the whistle of the wind in your ears, enjoy a Glider Ride through SoaringNV at the Minden Airport. Want the full sound and power experience? Schedule a ride on the Sentimental Journey B17 when it’s here at Minden Airport September 3 – 8!
  • Saturday is Peach Pie Day and Tuesday is Banana Lover’s Day.  We’ll take the pie route for both . . . Peach Pie and Banana Cream Pie are both available daily by the slice while dining in Katie’s or a take-home a whole pie from the selection of house-made bakery goodies available at Katie’s Bakery Counter.

Raise Your Hand to Volunteer
You say you’d like to volunteer to help in our community but you’re not sure where to go or who to call? The 2019 Leadership Douglas County Class is making it very easy to consider all the possibilities with 40 organizations scheduled to be at the first annual Volunteer Expo Douglas County this Thursday, August 22 from 3:30 -7:00 PM at the Douglas County Community & Senior Center. Admission is Free and it’s a great opportunity for adults and children to learn where and how they can help!

Bunko for Breast Cancer Getting Close
Your chance of winning Bunco is 1 in 12.  In the United States, a woman's chance of being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer is 1 in 8.  These odds, and the women and men it affects, is the reason why BHGE has hosted Bunko for Breast Cancer since 2004 donating over $300,000 in support of the Carson Tahoe Cancer Resource Center. The annual event takes place in our Valley Ballroom every fall and it’s now just two months away on Saturday, October 19. Learn more about this very beneficial and extremely fun event by clicking here.

Battle of the Badges Blood Drive August 29
Whose side are you going to take, the Fire Department’s or the Sheriffs? It’s all part of the fun associated with the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive next Thursday, August 29. Every day in the U.S., patients in hospitals, surgical centers and emergency treatment facilities need approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells. You can help make the sure blood needs of our community are covered by signing up to donate right here at the CVI next Thursday.

Speaking of Carson Valley Ranches
We were quite surprised when we started assembling a list of the various ranches in the Carson Valley. We thought we’d be lucky if we could get to ten. As we started thinking about it and talking to some of the old-time locals, the list just kept growing and growing. We finally said “that’s enough” when we got to 20. Our list follows; for how many do you know the location? The history? The family? Be sure to tell us while visiting the Minden Moo this Friday and Saturday: Bently Ranch, Churia Holstein Ranch, Dangberg Ranch, Dressier Ranch (Dressler Ranch), Galeppi Ranch, Gansberg Ranch, Heise Ranch, Hussman Ranch, Jack's Valley Ranch (Ascuaga), Jacobs Family Berry Farm/Lampe Ranch, Mack Ranch, Neddenriep Ranch, Park Ranch, Ranch 1, Schwake Ranch, Scossa Ranch, Settlemeyer Ranch, Uhart Ranch, Van Sickle Station Ranch. Did we miss any?
