2013 Carson Valley Days Theme Chosen ...

The Carson Valley Active 20/30 Club #85 has chosen “Western Roundup” for this year's Carson Valley Days theme.

Due to increases in permits and park rental, the club is raising the parade entry fees to $50 for noncommercial, $75 for commercial. Youth entries are still free.

Preparations begin in November for the biggest celebration of the year, and kick into high gear around March gathering sponsors and putting final details into place.

Parade applications, carnival ticket prices and locations, activity information and a full schedule of events will be posted on their updated website www.carsonvalley2030.org as soon as the information is available.

The Carson Valley Days celebration is June 6-9.

The festival is a four-day event including a hot air balloon launch, parade, craft shows, carnival rides, live music and activities for children and adults.

Parade winners and Citizen of the Year are announced at Lampe Park after the parade, and trophies are awarded the following week.

This is the Carson Valley Active 20-30 Club's largest fundraiser of the year, with all proceeds given back to Carson Valley disadvantaged youth.

The inaugural Carson Valley Day was in 1910 and consisted of a barbecue and an impromptu parade by a Reno car club.

Thanksgiving is arriving early at Trinity Lutheran Church as the men's ministry hosts a turkey dinner fundraiser.

Proceeds go toward winter clothing for Minden Elementary students.

“There's a lot of needy kids at Minden Elementary School,” Pastor Jim Beilstein said. “We don't want any child to not have proper clothing. It gets pretty cold here.”

The dinner is 5:30 to 8 p.m., Nov. 10. Cost is $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12, or a donation of winter clothing.

The church began a Good News Club at the school this year where volunteers teach Bible classes after school.

“We kind of adopted them as a school,” Beilstein said. “It's going good. The children really enjoy it. Some of the kids might never hear about Jesus any other way.”

The men are cooking up 20 turkeys and all the trimmings to provide any student in need winter clothing.

“If they need gloves or boots or head gear,” Beilstein said, “whatever winter clothing they need.”

The men's ministry began in May and supports City of Refuge as well as Minden Elementary School.

“The Lord calls us to reach out to others, especially those who don't know Him and are in need,” Beilstein said.”

The fundraiser is sponsored by the men's ministry, Trinity Lutheran Child Care Center and Thrivent Financial.

Trinity Lutheran Church is located at 1480 Douglas Avenue in Gardnerville.

For more information, call Phil King at 690-3731 or Donna Einspahr at 782-5437.
