Local talent raises money for Carson City Meals On Wheels with show
Carson’s Got Talent, a talent show featuring performers from Reno, Lake Tahoe, Carson City, Douglas County, Dayton and Yerington, lifted the audience Saturday while raising money for the Carson City Meals On Wheels program.
Local comedian Roger Diez announced the acts judged by a star-studded line up of regional celebrities: Mark Estee, chef and restaurateur; Sierra Scott, grants director for the Nevada Arts Council; Rebecca Kitchen, KOLO 8 reporter; Stephanie Arrigotti, Western Nevada Musical Theatre Company producer and director; Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell and Sheriff Kenny Furlong.
The top three acts danced away with some cash and the audience purchased votes accounting for 25 percent of total scores.
Carson City Meals on Wheels provides meals for nearly 300 home-bound seniors daily. In the period between Oct. 2016 through Sept. 2017, Meals on Wheels Carson City provided over 79,500 meals to local seniors, and that number is expected to reach 90,000 this reporting period.
