Friday, March 6: Things to do in Carson City

Happy Friday, Carson City. Grab a bite at Meek’s Lumber at their first Friday BBQ for lunch, or at the Lions Club Crab Feed at Fuji Park tonight. Cheer on the Western Nevada College Wildcats as they battle Salt Lake City Community College on the softball and baseball fields.

Tonight you can laugh it up at the opening of Carson Comedy at the Carson Nugget with headliner Sean Peabody or at Improv Night in the Black Box Theater in the Brewery Arts Center. Get down with Deception at the Westside Pour House, Halfway to Forever at the Fandango, or DJ Bobby G at Living the Good Life. But don’t party too hard, the weekend has just begun.

On this day in 1836, the 187 Texas volunteers defending the Alamo, including frontiersman Davy Crockett and Colonel Jim Bowie, are killed and the fort is captured after a 13 day siege. Here’s Johnny Cash to help us Remember the Alamo.
