Wednesday, March 8: Things to do in Carson City

I’m still looking for some springtime, and these next sunny few days might just do the trick. Take a break from the workweek with something fun. Grab some friends or your favorite date and enjoy Ev Musselman on stage at the Max Casino or a Jazz Jam with Rocky and Judith at Living the Good Life. For classic movie lovers, you can catch ‘All About Eve’ at the Galaxy Theater. Learn something new about scams, how to avoid them, and your rights at the Consumer Fraud Prevention Fair at the Adam’s Hub.
