Carson Capitals Baseball

What a day Carson City has in store. Jazz and Poetry hits Comma Coffee tonight as the Mile High Jazz Band puts on their monthly performance. Let the Sierra Nevada Forum's panel inform you about the facts and fictions of recreational marijuana from Colorado's experience. The Community Development building on East Proctor, formerly the 'BRIC', hosts an artist reception for the talented students in the Capital City Arts Initiative 'High School Pic[ks]' show.

The Carson Capitals Baseball Program are already swinging for the fences. Pizza Factory is donating a percentage of sales on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Come grab a pizza, some bread sticks, a calzone, or a salad and support Carson City’s one and only travel ball program.

The Carson Capitals Baseball Program will be holding tryouts June 5 for their upcoming 2017 season. Tryouts will be at Governors Field on field 5 as follows:

Many of us will never forget where we were when we first heard about the hijacking and subsequent attacks on the World Trade Center. September 11, 2001 is burned into our collective memory. At 8:30 a.m. this morning there will be a memorial service at the 9/11 Memorial in Mills Park where an I-beam from the fallen towers now serves as a reminder. Even if you cannot make it to the ceremony, please take a moment of silence to remember.

FRIDAY:

• 9/11 Memorial Service at the World Trade Center Steel I Beam located at the eastern edge of Mills Park, near the entrance of the Marv Texeira Pavilion (8:30am)

Today is National Lazy Day, and the options for taking it easy are endless. A day spent poolside at Carson Hot Springs, lunch and some live music at Comma Coffee, or just playing some board games with the family at Nerdvana are all good ideas. Dancing the night away is always a fun start to the week, even if it’s not lazy. Check out Rosebud’s Dance Band in the Comma Coffee Courtyard, or head to El Charro Avita for High Sierra Swing Dance Club’s weekly night out. Dachshund lovers may want to head to Fuji Park for the Silver State Sausage Society Sausage Social: try saying that one five times fast.
