Tuesday, Sept. 26: Things to do in Carson City

Calling all Geeks. After a long hiatus, the Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz has returned to Carson City, and is setting up shop inside Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint on Tuesday nights. Grab your smartest friends for a fun night of yummy drinks, great food, and nerdy competition. It's National Register to Vote Day - Carson residents can go to the County Clerk's office in the Courthouse. While you're there, head to the CCAI Gallery on the second floor to catch the last few days of the 'Industrial Art: Sports Edition' exhibit. See what all the hoopla is about at Foothill Garden by the Carson Tahoe Cancer Center. Tours of the new hoop house, a joint endeavor with the Greenhouse Project, as well as garden-inspired snacks, will begin at 11 a.m.
