Artisans

Squaw Valley’s village will burst with color, taste and sound as artisans, performers and musicians come together for the 14th annual Art Wine and Music Festival. This two-day event will take place Saturday July 11 and Sunday July 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and feature wine tasting from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. for $25 each day.

Catmandu will soon be opening a small retail area at our cat rescue/sanctuary. We will feature cat-tested and cat-approved items such as scratching posts, toys, beds, collars, etc. We also plan to carry unique cat-related clothing items, crafts, etc.. We would love to support local community-based artisans and crafters as much as possible in our store. If you make sale-able cat related items and would like to sell them at Catmandu, please contact Linda at 297-3419.

Thank you,

Linda Buchanan

Hello, Carson City! The holiday season is in full swing with tree lightings, craft fairs, Santa sightings all around the area. Every week, I create a list of the fun stuff and events going on around the Carson City area for my Facebook page, I love Carson City. I follow the pages of local businesses and organizations, search website calendars, keep my ear to the ground, and compile a list of anything and everything going on in this community.

Since joining the Brewery Arts Center a month ago, I've had the pleasure of enjoying some memorable performances at the Maize Harris Jesse Black Box Theater. It left me wondering what took me so long to get on the BAC bandwagon.

First there were the haunting Celtic airs of kilted bagpipe player Sean Cummings, accompanied by harpist Anne Roos.

The region's finest Nevada-made art will be featured Saturday, Dec. 6 at St. Mary’s Art Center in Virginia City with its first Artists and Artisans Art Faire on the Comstock.

Not only will all galleries be filled with art, the entire building will be full of local artists and creative folk from all over the Comstock region, showing and selling their work. The faire will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The art works range in style, medium, size and price from $5 to $8,000, so there will be something for everyone’s holiday shopping budget.

Many celebrations are scheduled throughout the Silver State in the month of October.

Something amazing is happening in our Carson City! Once again our community is rising up to help a neighbor in need.

As many of you may have heard a favorite, downtown restaurant, Sassafras is being forced to relocate. The word spread throughout our community and one question was being asked “how can we help?”

I had a chance to attend a meeting of volunteers from the community to help organize a benefit to help Save our Sassafras. I then asked Owner, Scott Owen Doerr, what he wanted people to know. This is what he had to say:

As reported first on Carsonnow.org Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint and Plan:b Micro-Lounge are being evicted from their current location by new property owners Double Eagle Cubed, LLC.
