Carson Lanes had undergone a major renovation and expansion of its Synder Avenue facility and wants all of Carson City to know about it.
That's why it will celebrate with a huge weekend open house, complete with contests, kids carnival, dance demonstrations, games, live music, a dunk tank and $2,000 in free prize giveaways.
The fun begins Saturday, Aug. 7 with bowling and happy hour deals and random gift card drawings throughout the day. A ribbon cutting ceremony begins at 11 a.m.
The classic rock band Band Intent will play from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m.

The thing about attending a masquerade ball is that you don't have to worry if you show up late because no one will ever know anyway.
