Thursday, April 2: Things to do in Carson City
It is now April. There is still hope for some late season storms, but the flowers blooming around town are ready for spring now. In this area, the weather seems to be whatever you aren't prepared for, so don’t put away those winter clothes just yet, and keep an eye on the weather report: a hard frost can undo the hard work you've put into your garden.
The birds aren't the only ones breaking out into song: every Thursday karaoke can be found at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar or smoke-free at the Feisty Goat Pub. A performance by classic guitarist George Sakellariou is a special treat for Carson City. Find him tonight at the Brewery Arts Center; ticket proceeds will assist in creating a new scholarship for Wildcat Productions at Western Nevada College. Check out the video of Sakellariou playing Scarborough Fair.
The Easter Bunny is just around the corner, but there will be plenty of non-bunny fun this wine walk weekend. Go here for a list of egg hunts and kiddie fun, but make sure to come back to Carson Now for my Friday things to do and my Weekend Event Summary.
