 The Tahoe Biltmore presents the annual IGS Car Show August 6 through 10. Come see Tahoe’s cool answer to the steamy days and nights of the Hot August Nights Car Shows. Stop by the vendor booths, hear 50s music, check out the poker runs, and check out more than 150 cars and trucks on display.
IGS Good Samaritans’ Safe Ride charity (IGS provides safe rides for folks so they don’t drink and drive) is putting on this annual event. For more information, call (800) Biltmore.

The techniques of Pete Townshend were tirelessly researched and practiced so that the sounds of the band leader are too difficult to tell the originals from the replicas. Together, the foursome shares their love for the music of the classic band. This tribute band has already received rave reviews for their performances.
