The Carson Valley Inn is serving a Free Spaghetti Lunch for all Veterans and Active Military – plus one guest – on Veteran's Day, Friday, November 11. The event will be held in the Valley Ballroom from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Veterans and active military personnel simply present your military ID for entrance, and lunch for you and your guest is on the Carson Valley Inn! There will also be a Veteran's Day colors presentation, the National Anthem and an invocation at 11 a.m. in the Carson Valley Inn parking lot, under the electronic sign on Highway 395.
The spaghetti feed idea began a few months ago when Stew Stewart (CVI Entertainment Director) and Joey Whitacre (CVI Director of Casino Operations and Marketing) were discussing the unique 11-11-11 date for Veteran's Day this year. Stew, a Vietnam War Veteran, suggested that the Inn do something special to honor our veterans. The two agreed that thanking active and past service people for their service to our country was definitely in order.
The presentation of colors at 11 a.m. will be led by the Douglas High School Junior ROTC Color Guard with accompaniment by representatives of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Nevada Air National Guard. The National Anthem will be sung by ANG Master Sergeant Rick Hays who, in his non-military hours, leads Rick Hays and American Steel.
