Keep Memory Alive’s Annual Summer Festival & Rodeo
Keep Memory Alive’s annual Summer Festival & Rodeo at Shakespeare Ranch, a private Lake Tahoe estate in Glenbrook, Nev., returns on Saturday, June 29 and Sunday, June 30 for another weekend of rodeo excitement to raise funds in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases and recognize local philanthropist and entrepreneur Kern Schumacher with the Community Leadership Award.
The weekend of fun and fundraising kicks off on Saturday, June 29 at 3 p.m. with a rodeo featuring bulls, bucks, barrels and BBQ, live music from Left of Centre and dancing, kids’ activities and refreshing summertime co*cktails.
The weekend will close out with the Sip, Savor and Sweet Sounds event on Sunday, June 30, at 5:30 p.m., as James Beard Award winner Luciano Pellegrini prepares a gourmet dine-around experience with exquisite food items paired with wines and spirits and rock legends Rick Springfield and Richard Marx treat guests to a private performance of their greatest hits.
Proceeds support Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health to find, fund and facilitate the most effective and innovative research, treatment and educational support programming for patients and their families affected by brain disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, multiple system atrophy and multiple sclerosis.
As it celebrates its 15th anniversary in July, the center continues to rely on philanthropy to support the
multidisciplinary care it provides to more than 5,000 Nevadans. Every patient receives care far beyond what traditional insurance covers so funds raised at the Festival and Rodeo help offset its losses and ensure it can continue to operate as the only comprehensive subspecialized neurology program in the state.
“The Glenbrook rodeo started as a beloved community grown tradition and it is that same community spirit that allowed us to create Keep Memory Alive and bring world-class neurological care to Nevada,” says Camille Ruvo, vice-chairwoman and co-founder, Keep Memory Alive. “We are so proud to continue the rodeo to support individuals living with these terrible diseases and their caregivers and are especially thankful to Chef Luciano Pellegrini, Rick Springfield and Richard Marx for sharing their talents in support of our mission.”
Tickets for the rodeo are $2,000 per adult and $250 per child (18 and younger). Children younger than two are free but must be accounted for via RSVP. The Sunday evening dinner tickets are $3,500 per adult or $30,000 for a table of 10. Full weekend group packages for groups of 10 can be purchased for $45,000 and include special access for 10 to a Michael Milken event “in the boardroom” 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 evening event.

Phutureprimitive With Murkury & Beatkarma
Late-Nite Productions presents “The Secret Wisdom Tour” featuring an evening of futuristic Bass Music with Phutureprimitive & Murkury plus special guest from Lake Tahoe Beatkarma.
Phutureprimitive’s music is best described as dripping wet love drops of nasty mind melting sonic bliss. Lush melodies drift across intricate rhythms, groove heavy beats and warm, fuzzy bass lines. Often exploring a dark and dense palette, there is also a profound sense of tranquility and beauty, engaging the listener into hypnotic movement and often escalating into a full-on kinetic experience. Shimmering with cinematic qualities, his music ultimately speaks to the body, mind and soul.
The event will be held at 10 p.m. at Blu Nightclub inside Bally’s. Ticket purchase required. $25 For more information, visit http://www.ballys.com/lake-tahoe.

Red Dirt Ruckus
From Deep in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada came a toe-tapping, hip shakin’ sound that couldn’t be pinned down. With a healthy dose of bluegrass, a sprinkle of reggae and a big-ole spoonful of funk, Red Dirt Ruckus has been leaving crowds smiling with their own brand of “Foothill Rudegrass” for almost a decade. RDR rides a high-energy blend of original music by songwriters Doug Not Josh (Vocals + Guitar + Mandolin) & Dan “Mad Monk” Abbott (Vocals + Bass)… brought to life with the fiddle skills of Lisa Bond, spiced up by Jared Collins on Sousaphone and Trumpet, and held down by Rob Keedy on Drums & Percussion.
The event will be held from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Grand Hall Lawn, 1 Valhalla Drive. Free For more information, visit valhallatahoe.com or call 530-541-4975.

The Commons is located at 1004 Lakeview Avenue. The Lake Tahoe Historical Society brings these free events to you, and donations are appreciated.
Fourth of July
In addition to the City of South Lake Tahoe’s celebration, there are several parties and events happening around the area.
Rolling Chrome/Tahoe Thunder
Thursday, July 4 – Sunday, July 7, 2024, Rolling Chrome/Tahoe Thunder – Car & M/C Show at the Heavenly Village. 25 trophies, poker walk, sidewalk sales, 50’s music, gas money, $40 entry. Open to all.
The International Good Samaritans Safe Ride Program (a big name idea in a small town) was started to provide teams of sober designated drivers to be on call by beepers (all we had then) to respond to any calls from intoxicated drivers, their friends, or the bartenders who didn’t want their customers to drink and then drive themselves home.
It was quickly realized that this safe ride service needed to be free (many intoxicated people didn’t want to go home until they were out of money) and that we needed to get their cars home too (no I wouldn’t leave my car behind as I need it in the morning!) . Therefore the Good Sam plan (IGS) was to start a 501c3 nonprofit charity (donations accepted) and provide two sober drivers per team, one driver to follow the other IGS driver in the intoxicated driver’s car along with the intoxicated person and all their friends to point the way home (not always easy but always free!).
Now For The FUN part of this story! In order to keep these safe rides free, IGS decided to host an annual fundraiser based on the 50’s lifestyle and 50’s cars and call it Cool September Days Car, Truck, Motorcycle, and Vintage Camper Show. Along with an old car show, IGS would put on a 50’s style Sock Hop with dance, dress-up, and hairdo contests and at midnight at the Hop as a grand prize IGS would give away a locally donated and restored old car on a $1 raffle ticket.
