Carson Valley Days almost here

With the theme of “The Happiest Valley on Earth,” and an election three days later, expect politicians to swell the usual ranks for the June 11 parade. Highway 395 through Minden and Gardnerville is closed for the parade.

Information and applications for vendors and entries are available at the club’s web site, www.carsonvalley2030.com.

For more than a half-century, Carson Valley businesses have displayed Carson Valley Days banners to show their support for the event.

Scout Troops 20 and 30 are raising funds by setting up Carson Valley Days banners in preparation for the big celebration.

Banners are a $50 donation and all the proceeds support the Scout troops. The price includes setting up the banner on your business June 3-5 and then taking them down after the event.

Banners are available through carsonvalleydaysbanners.com or you can mail a check to PO Box 1033, Genoa, NV 89411.

The Carson Valley Lions Club has been selling Carson Valley Days buttons since last month’s Business Showcase.

You can show your support by buying one at several businesses around town, including Kim’s Donuts, Coffee on Main, Raley’s, Ace Hardware, both 7-Elevens in Gardnerville, the Corner Bar and many more locations.

Lion Ron Santi said they will also be at the Esmeralda Farmers Markets on Tuesdays and will be selling buttons the day of the parade.

“The funds raised from button sales go right back into the community supporting our many community projects,” he said.

For more information, contact Santi at 775-315-2354.

The Carson Valley Art Association is conducting its summer show at the CVIC Hall in Minden June 9-12.
