Come tip off this year's basketball season with a match-up between our
Virginia City High School Muckers and our Virginia City Firefighters!

On Friday, 18 November, they'll square off at the high school at 7PM, and the
price of admission is just one canned good per person. There will be raffle
prizes, a silent auction, AND another auction complete with an auctioneer, as
well as halftime sporting challenges for all.

But plan to come at 6PM: you can choose from an Americana dinner of
hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and nachos, with varying costs per item.
