Carson Valley Chukar Club fundraiser is this Saturday
This is a reminder that the annual Carson Valley Chukar Club fundraiser will be held on Saturday evening, March 7. The 29th annual event is at the Douglas County Fairgrounds main building. The doors open at 5 p.m. but it is recommended you arrive early.
Visit with old friends, make new friends, wander around, look at all of the raffle prize packages, drool over all of the auction items, admire the framed prints and firearms, buy your raffle tickets and have your favorite beverage.
Then, enjoy the traditional, all-you-can-eat, barbecued Tri-Tip steak sandwiches on large hard rolls with homemade beans and salad. The evening’s raffle and auction program will begin at 7 p.m.
Douglas County Fairgrounds:
To reach the Fairgrounds, drive south out of Gardnerville on U.S. 395 to the traffic light at the intersection of U.S. 395and Muller Parkway. There is a 7-11 convenience store on your right-hand side.
At that intersection, turn left onto Muller Parkway, and drive for about three miles to the large metal building on your right-hand side.
That is the main building for the Douglas County Fairgrounds and it is also the location of the annual event.
Go early:
If you are attending for the first time, remember this important piece of advice: Go early, go early, if you want to sit anywhere near the front of the huge crowd (about 600-700 people) attending the fundraiser.
The doors open at 5 p.m. and you should be standing in that long waiting line, well before the 5 p.m. opener to get a seat. If you are late, you will end up either sitting in the bleacher section along the far wall or standing in a large crowd of attendees at the back of the room.
Attendance:
The cost to attend is $30 per person, which includes a one-year membership in the Carson Valley Chukar Club.
Youths and smoking restrictions:
There is a minimum age of 16 to attend.
Youngsters under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Smoking inside is prohibited due to the Nevada Clean In-Door Air Act.
