CARSON CITY — Mina Stafford not only loves history and what museums have to offer, she especially loves sharing it with others.

Thank goodness that there won’t be any school traffic on this very cold and icy morning. Presidents Day is a day off for the kids, so let them stay in their warm beds. Dollar days at the Gold Dust West and Carson Lanes Bowling Alleys can be a fun activity if you venture out. The Proscenium Players are still looking for members of their Repertory Theater troupe, so don’t miss their last audition event this evening. The Empty Bowls Project Soup Fest is a delicious part of the Silver and Snowflakes Tree Lighting Ceremony in December, but the planning begins now.

‘Tis the week before Christmas / And all through the brain / The madness is roaring / Like a freight train.

I wrote this little spin on the Night Before Christmas to acknowledge you. A sparkling tree and stockings hung with care don’t come without someone putting up the tree and stuffing the stockings.

For the sixth year, Carson City residents lined up Friday night to feast on delicious, savory soup served in handmade clay pottery created by local artisans as part of the Empty Bowls Project to raise money for local families and individuals who often go without daily hot, nutritious cooked meals.

A cherished holiday tradition in Carson City, It's Your City host Cortney Bloomer talks with Debbie Anderson about the Empty Bowls project.

For many of us, our bowls are never empty. That cannot be said for those less fortunate who live paycheck to paycheck or live in the various motels filled with those who cannot afford permanent housing for their families.

Some people do all of their holiday shopping on Black Friday. Others do their best to avoid shopping completely and spend the day after Thanksgiving relaxing at home. The tone of Black Friday can be equally mixed with retail businesses large and small.

Once the turkey has been devoured, all thoughts turn toward shopping. Shop Small Saturday helps to throw a spotlight on our local gems, and the great gifts you’ll find. New this year is Museum Store Sunday with both the Nevada State Museum and the Nevada State Railroad Museum participating. Make time for family and friends at the annual Nutcracker Ballet performed by Pinkerton Ballet at the Carson City Community Center. Keep reading and have a safe and happy holiday weekend.
