Fans, cast members, writers and crew to attend

March 1, 2009, Lake Tahoe NV.  Bonanza Convention Inc announced today that the 50th Anniversary of the hit 1960’s television series will be held at the Horizon Casino Resort Hotel in Lake Tahoe, Nevada on September 10 – 14, 2009.  Registration for the convention is now open at www.bonanza-convention.com/.

This is the 4th Bonanza Convention to be held celebrating one of the longest running television series in history, Bonanza, which ran from September 10, 1959 until 1973.  The series starred Michael Landon, Lorne Greene, Dan Blocker and Pernell Roberts as the Cartwright family of the Ponderosa Ranch in Nevada. This year’s Convention will feature appearances by Mitch Vogel, who played the Cartwright’s adopted son Jamie, and six time guest star Gregory Walcott, who starred in numerous television series and movies including Dallas, Laramie, Rawhide and Plan 9 from Outer Space.  From the television series Ponderosa, which ran from 2001-2002, stars Matt Carmody and Drew Powell will also be attending the convention.

The new home for the Incline Village and Crystal Bay Historical Society is just about complete.

After moving from its Southwood location, Chuck Greene feels like everything should be ready to open by February 14th.
