Keep Memory Alive’s annual summer festival and rodeo

Keep Memory Alive’s annual Summer Festival and Rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch, a private estate on Lake Tahoe in Glenbrook, Nevada, returns Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30 for another weekend of rodeo excitement to raise funds to fight neurodegenerative diseases and honor local philanthropist and entrepreneur Kern Schumacher with the Community Leadership Award.

The weekend of fun and fundraising kicks off on Saturday, June 29th at 3pm with a rodeo featuring bulls, bucks, barrels and BBQ, live music by Left of Centre and dancing, kids’ activities and refreshing summer cocktails.

The weekend concludes with the “Sip, Savor and Sweet Sounds” event on Sunday, June 30th at 5:30 p.m., where James Beard Award winner Luciano Pellegrini will prepare a gourmet dine-around experience featuring fine food, wine and spirits, and rock legends Rick Springfield and Richard Marx will treat guests to a private performance of their greatest hits.

Proceeds benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, which aims to find, fund and enable the most effective and innovative research, treatment and education programs for patients and their families affected by brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple system atrophy and multiple sclerosis.

While it celebrates its 15th anniversary in July, the center continues to rely on donations to keep the

It provides multidisciplinary care to more than 5,000 Nevada residents. Each patient receives care that goes far beyond what traditional insurance covers, so funds raised at the festival and rodeo help offset the losses and ensure the program can continue as the only comprehensive, specialized neurology program in the state.

“The Glenbrook Rodeo began as a beloved, community-driven tradition, and it is this very community spirit that has enabled us to create Keep Memory Alive and bring world-class neurological care to Nevada,” says Camille Ruvo, vice chair and co-founder of Keep Memory Alive. “We are so proud to continue the rodeo to support people with these terrible diseases and their caregivers, and are especially grateful for Chef Luciano Pellegrini, Rick Springfield and Richard Marx who lend their talents to support our mission.”

Tickets for the rodeo are $2,000 per adult and $250 per child (18 and under). Children under two are free but must register. Sunday night dinner tickets are $3,500 per adult or $30,000 for a table of 10. Complete weekend packages for groups of 10 can be purchased for $45,000 and include special access for 10 people to a Michael Milken “boardroom” event on Friday afternoon, 10 tickets to the rodeo on Saturday, 10 tickets to “Sip, Savor, and Sweet Sounds” on Sunday and a round-trip ride on the Tahoe Star from Incline Village to Glenbrook for the Sunday night event.

Phutureprimitive with Murkury and Beatkarma

Late-Nite Productions presents “The Secret Wisdom Tour” featuring an evening of futuristic bass music with Phutureprimitive & Murkury and special guest Lake Tahoe Beatkarma.

Phutureprimitive’s music is best described as dripping wet love drops of wicked, mind-melting sonic bliss. Lush melodies drift over intricate rhythms, grooving heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, but also a deep sense of calm and beauty that puts the listener in hypnotic motion and often escalates into a full-fledged kinetic experience. His music shimmers with cinematic qualities and ultimately speaks to the body, mind and soul.

The event will be held at 10 p.m. at Blu Nightclub at Bally’s. Ticket purchase required. $25 For more information visit http://www.ballys.com/lake-tahoe.

Red Dirt Riot

From the depths of the Sierra Nevada came a stirring, hip-swinging sound that defied categorization. With a healthy dose of bluegrass, a dash of reggae, and a large helping of funk, Red Dirt Ruckus has been bringing smiles to audiences’ faces for nearly a decade with their own brand of “Foothill Rudegrass.” RDR rides a high-energy mix of original music by songwriters Doug Not Josh (vocals + guitar + mandolin) and Dan “Mad Monk” Abbott (vocals + bass)… brought to life by the fiddle skills of Lisa Bond, spiced up by Jared Collins on sousaphone and trumpet, and held by Rob Keedy on drums and percussion.

The event will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Hall Lawn, 1 Valhalla Drive. Admission is free. For more information, visit valhallatahoe.com or call 530-541-4975.

Lectures will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. All lectures will be held at the Lakeview Commons in South Lake Tahoe. Come to the lectures on the steps at the waterfront for an hour of interesting topics and entertainment. The Commons is located at 1004 Lakeview Avenue.

Fourth of July

In addition to the festivities in the city of South Lake Tahoe, there are numerous parties and events taking place in the surrounding area.

Rolling Chrome/Tahoe Thunder

Thursday, July 4th – Sunday, July 7th, 2024, Rolling Chrome/Tahoe Thunder – Car and Motorcycle Show at Heavenly Village. 25 trophies, poker walk, sidewalk vending, 50’s music, gas money, $40 admission. Open to all.

The International Good Samaritans Safe Ride Program (a big idea in a small town) was created to provide teams of sober drivers on call via pagers (all we had at the time) to respond to calls from drunk drivers, their friends, or the bartenders who didn’t want their customers to drink and then drive themselves home.

It quickly became clear that this safe ride service had to be free (many drunk people didn’t want to go home until they ran out of money) and that we also needed to get their cars home (no, I wouldn’t leave my car behind, I need it in the morning!). So the Good Sam (IGS) plan was to form a 501c3 non-profit charity (donations welcome) and provide two sober drivers per team, with one driver following the other IGS driver in the drunk driver’s car and showing the drunk person and all their friends the way home (not always easy, but always free!).

Now comes the FUN part of the story! To keep these safe rides free, IGS has decided to host an annual fundraiser centered around the 50’s lifestyle and cars and call it the Cool September Days Car, Truck, Motorcycle and Vintage Camper Show. In addition to a vintage car show, IGS is hosting a 50’s themed Sock Hop with dance, costume and hair contests and at midnight at the Hop IGS will be giving away a locally donated and restored vintage car on a $1 raffle ticket as the grand prize.
