March 8 will be the 17th version of the Carson Valley Chukar Club fund raiser.
That event will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
To reach the fairgrounds, drive south on U.S. 395, out of Gardnerville, to the last traffic signal light (at the 7-11 Store).
At that intersection, turn left onto Pinenut Road. Take that road for about three miles to a large metal building, located on your right side.
The doors will open to attendees at 5 p.m. and the evening's program is slated to begin at about 7.
The cost is $25 per person or $15 for anyone under the age of 18 (those younger folks must be accompanied by an adult). The admission fee includes a barbecued Tri-Tip steak sandwiches with homemade beans, tossed salad and hard rolls.
According to Ron Pierini, the Fund Raising Chairman, "We expect another full house and would remind everyone to please purchase your tickets early. Last year, we had to send people away because this event has become so popular and we can only accommodate the first 500 people with tickets. I would not risk ticket availability at the door this year. Please plan ahead and purchase your tickets early."
For information or to purchase tickets, call Pierini at 267-1006.
