Preparations are under way for one of Carson Valley’s oldest and biggest parties of the year.
Minden and Gardnerville will celebrate 98 years of Carson Valley Days on June 12-15. Founded by H.F. Dangberg Jr. in 1910, the event features a pa rade from Minden to Lam pe parks, a hot-air balloon launch, carnival and the Carson Valley Days Walk, Jog, Run.
With buttons on sale and a theme set, the dozen members of the Carson Valley Active 20-30 Club are gearing up for the annual event.
Buttons are sold by Soroptimists and feature a pastoral scene.
“Keep Nevada Open” is the theme of this year’s parade, according to Carson Valley Active 20-30 Club treasurer Jeremy Davidson.
“The main idea is to keep public lands open to recreation and keeping trails open,” he said. “The club members like to go out on quads and go camping.”
Members of the club are hoping that parade entrants pick up the theme for their floats.
Among the ideas for floats would be outdoors activities including off-road vehicles, horseback riding, boating and kayaking.
Club members are also seeking sponsors and craft vendors for Carson Valley Days. Sponsorship information and applications for parade entries and craft vendors are available at the club’s Web site, www.carsonvalley2030.org. Information, Pat Kincheloe, 291-4233.
