Thursday, Feb. 19: Things to do in Carson City
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year; welcome to the year of yang, which could be a goat, a sheep, or a ram, depending on the translation. Time to reunite with family and loved ones and celebrate spring. New York City got in on the festivities with its first ever fireworks display for the Lunar New Year; I've included a YouTube video, just in case fireworks really are lucky.
The Pizza Factory on Hwy 50 East is holding a fundraiser for Eagle Valley Middle School today. 20% of the day’s proceeds will benefit their Parent Teacher Organization.
The Brewery Arts Center has a monthly Improv night on the first Friday, but tonight you can head down to their black box theater for a free improvisational workshop to get a feel for the game. If singing is more your style, head to Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar or the smoke-free Feisty Goat Pub for their weekly karaoke night.
