Thursday, Feb. 12: Things to do in Carson City
First things first. Valentine’s Day is rapidly approaching, so I’m reminding you to make reservations for your favorite restaurant if you haven’t already. Check out the Carson Mall’s Craft Fair and Gift Sale or any of Carson City’s great shops like Artsy Fartsy Art Gallery, Evergreen Gene’s, Morley’s Books, the Artisan Store at the Brewery Arts Center or Purple Avocado for something special for that special someone. If you're looking for poetry, head over to Browser's Corner Book Store this evening and get a copy of L.E. Hart's newest book, and he'll sign it for you, too.
Today is a day of birthdays: Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, the 13th Dalai Lama, Lorne Green of Bonanza fame, and author Judy Blume were all born today. On a more local note, happy birthday to Kelly, one of Glen Eagle’s favorite servers, as she celebrates another trip around the sun today.
