Thursday, April 14: Things to do in Carson City

Looking for a change of pace? Join Muscle Powered as they take a hike up Deadman’s Creek in Washoe Valley. Feeling spicy? The weekend is almost here, so step out of your normal routine and try salsa lessons at El Charro Avita. Red’s Old 395 has an incredible happy hour with half off draft beers today and a yummy menu. Rack ‘em up at Remedy’s free pool night. Limited Time Only plays tonight at Living the Good Life, but one look at the band and you’ll recognize most the guys from Notch 8.
