The Dead Winter Carpenters
Moody's Bistro, Bar & Beats is hosting members of the Dead Winter Carpenters, a local favorite band that has gone international. Known for their engaging stage presence, this acoustic set will offer fun toe-tapping music that inspires a good vibe.

The sets for both days will go from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.
Boulder Bash 2016
The fall season is a fabulous time to enjoy rock climbing in Lake Tahoe. In all reality it is the best of all seasons for enjoying boulders and the lengthy crack climbs that exist around the basin. To highlight this, Tahoe Sports Hub will be hosting the Boulder Bash 2016, the third annual all-levels bouldering competition and climbing festival. Being held on Donner Summit, the festival offers beginner climbing clinics, an after party and awards ceremony at Donner Ski Ranch. All the events are open to the entire public, and the party held afterward is free admission. There will be a ton of great food and drink specials as well as live music and a raffle. A portion of the money raised will benefit the American Alpine Club. Competitors have a $35 pre-registration fee or $40 the day of the event ($25 or $30 for youth). Registration begins at 7 a.m. on Saturday, September 24. The awards ceremony is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. and the live music at 7 p.m.
