Wednesday, Feb. 15: Things to do in Carson City

Happily ever after is usually dismissed as a Disney movie ending, but bring your Mickey Mouse knowledge to the Carson Library for a family friendly trivia night. Jazz in on the menu at Living the Good Life, in addition to some delicious dinner options. Learn what a Gibson Girl of the Victorian era did to get her classic silhouette at the Dayton Historical Society meeting. Climate change is the focus of a documentary at Western Nevada College: all interested are invited. Keep reading for even more of Wednesday's options.
