Thursday, Feb. 16: Things to do in Carson City
Windy, rainy days are excellent for watching movies. Luckily, the International Film Weekend kicks off today with Chinese film, ‘Wolf Totem,’ in the Community Center Theater. Show up at 3 p.m. if you want to be wowed by some independent films from students at the UNR Reynolds School of Journalism. Hurry in and get one last peek at the Road to the Future exhibit at the Nevada Artist Association gallery. They’ll be accepting submissions for their next show on Saturday. Show off your talents at auditions for this year’s ‘Senior Follies.’ All ages are welcome to participate, so dust off your dancing shoes, warm up your vocal cords, and show off your stuff.
