If Kenny’s Performance is Fitting for Kim,
Certainly Kenny’s Concert is a Fitting Gift
for your Wife or Mom!
for your Wife or Mom!
As the story goes, Kanye West arranged to have Kenny G do a private performance (see
picture above) for Kim Kardashian on Valentine's Day this year. It must be true
because pictures, video and media stories about this are plentiful on the
Internet (go ahead, Google it!) While we
can't guarantee a stage full of roses when Kenny
G performs in TJ's Corral on June 8, we can guarantee that his performance
will be most fitting (over-the-top??) as a Mother's Day gift for your wife,
mother, mother-in-law, etc. So grab a
box of chocolates (we suggest the Chocolate Shoppe for locals), an appropriate number of
Kenny G concert tickets, and present
them on Sunday, May 12 – with or without an accompanying vase with one rose!
Our 2019 Concert Lineup includes Easton Corbin on
May 24, Kenny G on June 8, Uncle
Kracker on June 29, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts on
July 4, Dwight Yoakam (Standing Room Only) on July 26, Pat
Benatar and Neil Giraldo on July 31, Martina McBride on August 4
and Loverboy on August 9. For tickets, check this page on our
website or stop by the hotel front desk. And be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

| Not Our Usual Golf Group Dinner Picture!! |
Two Aces & Steam Punk:
And It’s All About Golf!
While today is officially Golf Day
and May is Golf Month, our golf season's festivities really kicked off in style this past
weekend and whatever your level of play, you'll appreciate these stories:
- The first story starts on Friday with the first round of our Spring Stag Golf Tournament with play at Genoa Lakes Ranch course. Between our Spring Stag, September Mixed Scramble and our Fall Stag that ran through the early 2000's we figure just these three events have produced over 18,000 rounds of golf since we started sponsoring our own golf tournaments in the mid-1980s. Best we can remember we've never had a hole-in-one in any of these events. Last Friday's opening round of our Spring Stag saw two: Jack Lerch from Oakdale, CA aced #8 at the Ranch Course and Ken Hengst from Milpitas, CA holed it off the tee on #16!
- The second story from last weekend produced a most unusual
sight at the Rogue Brotherhood Golf Group's spring trip dinner on Saturday
night in our convention center. The group of mostly business
owners from El Dorado County and the Sacramento area has been visiting the CVI twice a year for quite a few years. Over the
last few years their wives and girlfriends have joined them on the Spring Trip
(Fall Trip is for the guys) and they always have more fun than should be
allowed! They have a theme each spring and, while always interesting, it's
never been as visually unusual as last Saturday night's “Steam Punk” as you can
see in the picture above.
- Almost 100 golf groups of all sizes are scheduled to
visit the Carson Valley Inn and play our area courses during the 2019 season.
If you are already on our list, thank you! If you'd like to find out more about
bringing your group to the CVI, contact our resident golf expert, Greg Enholm,
PGA at 775-783-6615 or shoot him an email at grege@carsonvalleyinn.com. While we can't guarantee anyone in your group will get a hole-in-one,
and you certainly don't need to theme your group's dinner, we will do our very
best to make sure you have a darn good time!
What Diet?!
Sunday is No Diet Day.
We couldn’t pass this one up so we checked with Chef Don in Katie’s
and Chef Patrick in CV Steak to find out what they would choose if they were going
to bust their diet for a day. Chef Don said he’d start with the Katie’s
Chicken Fried Steak for breakfast –
perhaps even with a side order of extra gravy! For lunch he’d dive into the
deep fried Monte Cristo Sandwich.
Chef Patrick had a little more difficult time coming up with a diet buster in CV
Steak. When pressed, he settled on the Jumbo Lump Crab Cake as an appetizer, the BLT Salad and then the Chicken
Alfredo as the entrée. However, he still wasn’t convinced this trio would
bust anyone’s diet for the day!
Carson Valley Market Update
The remodeling
of the Carson Valley Market is progressing rapidly and we are still looking at
reopening by the end of next week. Reminder: The gas and diesel pumps are open
for credit card and debit card purchases during construction.
