It is time to welcome spring with good friends, good wine, good food and a great Train Ride on the Comstock! The V & T Wine, Cheese and Dessert Train, sponsored by the Carson Tahoe Health Auxiliary, will be held on Saturday, April 6, departing Carson City Eastgate Depot at 10 a.m. for a trip through the Comstock to Virginia City.

A mass shooting took place less than two years ago in Carson City’s IHOP restaurant, just down the road from the Nevada Legislature.
Since that day in September 2011, more senseless mass shootings have occurred in the United States — the one in Newtown, Conn., sparking a nationwide debate over gun control.

Carson City's nonprofit agency that helps feed and provide shelter to those in need — FISH — will host its annual “Have A Heart” Banquet on Thursday, March 14. The Banquet will be at the Carson Nugget with cocktails and silent auction beginning at 5:30 p.m. and dinner served at 6:15 p.m. Ninety-five percent of FISH’s funding comes from local donations and the Have A Heart Banquet is an important part of our fundraising effort.

UPDATE 11:32AM: Carson City Sheriff's Office deputies, the Nevada Department of Wildlife and Animal Control are looking for a coyote that killed a small dog Friday morning at Mills Park.

Tracking the coyote began at around 10 a.m. after the coyote went after the dog, chased geese and was seen roaming the area around the playground, according to Carson City Sheriff's Office dispatchers. The dog was initially reported as being injured in the attack that happened near the park's train station but subsequently died, according to a report between Carson City patrol officers and dispatchers.
