This week there are a number of ways you can honor our local veterans and active military members, with several events planned throughout the region. Take a look to find all the parades, ceremonies, free admission and more happening this week and into the weekend.

Elves and twinkling lights, hot chocolate and hot cider, Christmas cookies and candy canes, gift bags and magical memories await the lucky passengers on the Virginia Truckee Railroad Holiday steam trains that depart from the original 1870 depot in Virginia City.

Becoming an Eagle Scout is no small feat, as only approximately 6 percent of Boy Scouts will move up to the highest rank within the scouting hierarchy.

However, Carson City native and Bishop Manogue Catholic High School Senior Owen Hickenbottom will now be awarded the rank of Eagle Scout thanks to his service project achieved by the troop at Washoe Lake State Park.
