The Great Bingo Revival – Wed Dec 20 2017

The Great Bingo Revival - Wed Dec 20 2017Need a break from the holiday craziness?  Check out the Great Bingo Revival – Wed Dec 20 2017 in Downtown Historic Truckee tonight.

I must have an old soul because I really enjoy playing Bingo!  Yes, I understand all of the stereotypes this will bring to mind, but the thought of having the Bingo card that has all of the right numbers called out that causes me to yell Bingo before everyone else, making me a winner by sheer luck is thrilling.

Okay, it also doesn’t hurt that this is a fund raiser for the Truckee Tahoe Waldorf  School, so all Bingo card proceeds go to a local organization, and that the event is being held at the Alibi Ale Works – Truckee Public House in Downtown Historic Truckee.

I enjoy our local fundraising events when they are held at local brew-pubs like Alibi Ale Works (so much more than beer and great food).  Who doesn’t enjoy having the option to order a favorite beverage and great food menu items to go along with playing Bingo tonight.  It makes the event a winning combination right from the start!

If you’re around today in the  Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California area, and you’re up for you should check out the Great Bingo Revival tonight!

Here are the details of The Great Bingo Revival event tonight in Downtown Truckee:

Thanksgiving Dining Options in North Lake Tahoe – 2017

Thanksgiving Dining Options in North Lake Tahoe – 2017

Thanksgiving Dining Options in North Lake Tahoe - 2017Gobble, gobble, Thanksgiving Day is almost here.  If you’ll be in the North Lake Tahoe area for the upcoming holiday, here are some dining options in the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee area for this Thanksgiving Day – Thursday November 23, 2017.

I’m writing this blog post on Monday afternoon, just three days before the big event and if you still haven’t figured out what, or who will be cooking Thanksgiving Day Dinner, here are some dinning options if you’ll be here in the greater Tahoe City, or Truckee area this holiday weekend!

Most of our local grocery stores will be open for limited hours on Thanksgiving day, but as I think about making up a shopping list of items to buy , I have to think to myself, would reservations be a better way to go?

If you’re reading this post, you too may be in the same boat – so what are your Thanksgiving Day dinning options for 2017?

If you’re going to be here in the greater Lake Tahoe, California area for the upcoming Thanksgiving Day holiday and you haven’t made your dining plans, some of you top choices may already be sold out, so now is the time to pick up the phone and get those dinner reservations!

Here are some restaurant Thanksgiving Day dinner dining options for the greater North Lake Tahoe – 2017:

I’m sure there are more options, but these restaurants and the Community Thanksgiving event are great local choices, and are a good bet for a wonderful meal.

While it is possible that Craig and I could still stay at home and cook, there’s a very good chance we will be making Thanksgiving Day Dinner Reservations some where here in the North Lake Tahoe area too.

If you’re thinking about dining out this year you will need to call now to check on reservation availability and menu options and then go from there.  If you’re reading this, you might start thinking about Christmas Day dinner reservations now, as that day books up quickly too.

Lastly, remember if your first choice is gone, keep on dialing; someone is going to have room for you.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Gobble, Gobble!  Dining options for Thanksgiving Day in North Lake Tahoe, California on Thursday, November 23, 2017!

An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City November 17 2017

An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City November 17 2017For over forty years the Tahoe City area has kicked off the holiday season with An Elegant Affair!

This year is the 41st Annual An Elegant Affair, which is a fund-raiser for the North Tahoe Boosters Club will be held tonight, Friday, November 17, 2017 in downtown Tahoe City.

Just like turning your clocks back in earlier this month, on the Friday evening before the week of  Thanksgiving, the official kick-off of the year-end holiday season will start and in our area its the annual Elegant Affair.

It’s one of those annual charity | fundraising events that I look forward to each year.  There is just something about getting dressed-up and running into old friends, neighbors and past clients that reminds me of how thankful I am to live in such a beautiful place.

Throw in a variety of wines to taste, and appetizers made from some of the North Lake Tahoe areas best area restaurants and catering companies and I’m ready to get into the holiday mood and season in the North Lake Tahoe area.

This year the 41th Annual Elegant Affair event will happen today, Friday, November 17, 2015 beginning at 6:30 p.m. at the Boatworks Mall in downtown Tahoe City, California.

An Elegant Affair – Tahoe City November 17 2017The North Tahoe Boosters organization puts on a wonderful evening of tasting fine wines, beers, and gourmet appetizers to raise money for the North Tahoe High and Middle School Athletics.

There is also a silent auction and 100% of the events proceeds will go to support the North Tahoe Boosters and their programs.

You many not know, or appreciate the hard work and effort that the North Tahoe Boosters Club does to support Tahoe’s local sports programs, but as school budgets have been cut back, many costs fall back onto the students and their families.

The North Tahoe Boosters Club helps cover the costs for many items like uniforms, equipment, travel expenses, and without their financial support, many programs would just not happen.

If you take a moment to remember what it was like to be in middle, or high school and how important those after-school programs were to you, you’ll know why this is a sell-out event.

This is your opportunity to be a part of helping others have those same types of experiences by supporting this excellent fund-raising event.

In addition to the after-school programs, the NT Boosters also give out annual scholarships to seniors who have participated in sports at North Tahoe, so their support of the local Tahoe youth occurs on many levels.

This annual event, An Elegant Affair, is held inside at the Boatworks Mall on both levels with wine, beer, and local restaurants setting up tasting stations around the mall.

Holiday wear is encouraged and black tie is optional, but the truth is, in Tahoe City resort holiday wear can include jeans and a favorite sweater!  Don’t let the dress code keep you from showing up at this great, local event!

I’ve attended this event over the years, and it’s always been a lot of fun.

For those of you still looking for a reason to go to this years’ wine tasting event, don’t forget the silent and door prize (wheelbarrow of wine)?  Bring your checkbooks, or cash because you’re going to find some great silent auction items to bid on.  What could be more fun than wine tasting and shopping at a silent auction and all for a great cause?

This year the event organizers will have many local Tahoe-Truckee restaurants, along with wineries and breweries.  If you love wine tasting and are looking for a way to kick-off your holiday season while supporting a good local organizations this is the event for you.

Here are the details of An Elegant Affair in Tahoe City:

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

By

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 27 2017Here’s is your chance to be part of an inaugural event in Downtown Historic Truckee, this afternoon, Friday, October 27, 2017 between 4 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. as the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race will happen!

Perhaps it’s the inner nerd in me that finds the thought of seeing home-made pumpkin race cars made out of a single pumpkin fascinating.

If you’re around today in the  Lake Tahoe and Truckee, California area, you should check out the Great Truckee Pumpkin Race!

Here are the details of the Truckee Pumpkin Race Car Race in Downtown Historic Truckee, California:

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race – Oct 27 2017

  • When:  Friday, October 27, 2017, Starting at 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
  • Where:  Between High Street and Jibboom Street in Downtown Historic Truckee, CA
  • Parking:  Anywhere you can find a space
  • Cost:  Free Admission for Spectators, but if you want to build and race your pumpkin, the entry fee is $20 per pumpkin
  • Here are some rules to be aware of:
    • Craft your pumpkin race car using a single pumpkin
    • Use two independent axles through your pumpkin to attach wheels
    • No explosives or pyrotechnics
    • No prefabricated chassis (skateboard, stroller, etc…)
    • Decorate and make it fun.  There are points for style and decoration

The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race - Oct 27 2017In my mind I’m seeing crazy super-sized pumpkin cars, but I suspect you’ll see smaller, toy-sized pumpkins that are engineered to race down the hill, but wouldn’t it be fun if they turned out to be go-cart sized pumpkins!

This event is hosted by the Tahoe Expedition Academy and several sponsors, so it’s a chance to show off your car design skills.

The judges are there to enforce the rules, and be forewarned, from reading more about the event on-line, I think they are prepared to smash those pumpkins that don’t follow the rules, so make sure your pumpkin race car follows the rules.

Our local events are well done and really embrace the season.  In a season filled with all things pumpkin: pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, pumpkin lattes, and pumpkin spiced cream cheese just to name a few of my fall favorites, what could be more fun than a pumpkin car race just a few days before Halloween!

If you love Tahoe and you enjoy our local events, then you should check out this fall pumpkin event late this afternoon in  Truckee today.

See you at the The Great Truckee Pumpkin Race today, Friday, Oct 27, 2017 in Downtown Historic Truckee!
