Wednesday welcomes new business, new art, and the Carson High Talent Show

You won’t find this Wednesday lacking when it comes to stuff to do, explore, and enjoy. The annual Carson High Talent Show always delights and thoroughly entertains the audience. Comma Coffee is hosting a reception for their newest display, the ‘Break These Chains Live Free’ Art Exhibit, featuring the winning pieces from a high school contest designed to bring awareness to human trafficking. A cute new shop downtown, Rustically Divine, celebrates it’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting. Let Chili’s Restaurant take care of lunch or dinner and you’ll be helping to raise money for the Wylie Animal Rescue Foundation.
