Wednesday, April 12: Things to do in Carson City

Easter weekend is almost upon us and there are a multitude of egg hunts and festivities to choose from. Whether you live in Carson City, Dayton, or Douglas County or fancy the Easter bonnet and pet parade in Virginia City, there’s something in your neighborhood. Take a look at my Easter guide HERE, and go have a great time with the kids. Self-starters will find guidance and comradery during the monthly Entrepreneurs Assembly at the Adams Hub. Robotics night at Fritch Elementary School showcases the talents of the Carson High Robotics Club, Team Captain. They’re off to the FIRST World Championship in Houston later this month.
