Friday, Dec. 11: Things to do in Carson City
My snow dance worked! The weather should start clearing up for the next few days, so the roads should be clear. There’s no need to leave our valley though, great things are happening. The annual Share Your Christmas food drive goes on for most of the day: you don’t even need to leave your car, just drive up to the Governor’s Mansion, and someone will get your donation to the right place. Unwind, decompress and relax at a number of our great bars and restaurants. Groove Session at Sassafras, the Whitehats at the the Westside Pour House, and Acoustic Solution at Bella Fiore are all great options to kick off the weekend.
