Tuesday, March 14: Things to do in Carson City

Event Date: 
March 14, 2017 (All day)

Three point one four. That silly number gives us the secret of the circle. And it sounds like 'pie.' Let's celebrate 'pi day' with some jazz and poetry dedicated to math and baked goods with the Mile High Jazz Band at Comma Coffee tonight. The Tahoe Milers Running Group have a 3.14 mile challenge, and the winner gets pie. Have a great Tuesday, Carson City, and do something to celebrate 3.14159265359 ...
