As the 2024 Nevada Day Parade ended, the fun continued with the annual Nevada Day beard competition. Bob McFadden Plaza in downtown Carson City buzzed with nearly two hours of excitement as the bearded showed off their best.
Here is the Carson City area road report for the week of Oct. 28 to Nov. 3, 2024. Closures and lane restrictions are expected at the following locations due to road and utility work:
From the Carson Mall to McFadden Plaza and at the Nevada Day Powwow at Robert "Bob" Crowell Multi-Purpose Athletic Center, activities continue Saturday afternoon and evening into Sunday.
Central Lyon Fire Protection District will begin open burning on Nov. 1, 2024, pending weather conditions. This decision aligns with fire safety protocols and mirrors burn permit restrictions in place by surrounding agencies, including the Nevada Division of Forestry (NDF), Fernley, Carson City and Storey County.
It was a perfect day in Carson City for the hot air balloons to celebrate Nevada Day 2024. The air was crisp with a light breeze from the south. The balloons went off right on schedule and headed north, across the city. A couple were seen landing on, or near, Silver Oak Golf Course.
