Although other activities and events are happening around town this Independence Day weekend, the centerpiece venue has been Mills Park for the past several years.

Summertime in Carson City is now in full stride, the busiest time of the season traditionally marked by the Fourth of July weekend.

The Third and Curry Farmer's Market, held every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. through September, drew a large crowd of hundreds this morning as events held around Carson City celebrate Independence Day weekend.

Popular culture sensationalizes the martial arts as inflicting pain, but the reality is that these ancient practices are more about internal healing than forms of defense.

The annual Fourth of July celebration at Mills Park kicked off at 5 p.m. Friday with carnival festivities. Rides and games run until around 10 or 11 p.m. tonight, carnival owner Jason Wold said.

In his book, McLaughlin focuses on the top ten biggest winters in the Tahoe Sierra based on snowfall measured at Donner Pass since 1879. He will share amazing weather facts and incredible stories of men and women struggling to cope against some of the most powerful storms on Earth.

Speaker Jim Clark will present his program, “Trains in the Movies”, in a free presentation at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on Saturday, July 9, at 10:00 am.
