Monday, May 4: Things to do in Carson City
May the Fourth be with you, Carson City. Happy Star Wars Day. The movies created by George Lucas made celebrities of most all the actors involved, but today you can enjoy a little time with some celebrities of a home-grown nature. Bike Month in Carson City always features a Celebrity Bike Ride: past years have had the mayor, city leaders, officials, and other notables. Meet up at Telegraph Square for a short ceremony celebrating an award from the League of American Bicyclists for a Bicycle Friendly Community and the many new trails recently built in our valley.

Today is Made in Nevada Day. A reception will take place this evening at the Brewery Arts Center; the Artisan Store is filled with creations made by local artists. The Nevada Artists Association gallery is another great place to view regional art. Northern Nevada is a beautiful place, and luckily we have many incredible artists capturing it on their canvasses or with their cameras. Find even more locally made items at the Carson Mall: all this week they are hosting a Mother’s Day Arts and Craft Fair.
