Things to do on Tuesday: Art, archery, and lots of color

Event Date: 
April 17, 2018 (All day)

Well, we won’t see any wet stuff today, but the clear skies could mean a nip to the air. You can join Muscle Powered for one of today’s two walks, but I won’t blame you if you’d prefer an indoor activity. Join the Carson Library for coloring night; they have plenty of pictures to choose from. Bobbie Ann Howell is at the center of today’s Artist Reception at the Nevada Arts Council. You’ll hear her discuss her exhibit ‘Vistas and Viewpoints.’ Head down to Pizza Factory to lend a hand to Mark Twain Elementary School: just make sure to mention you are there for the fundraiser. If you can make it between 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., you’ll be able to sign-up for this weekend’s Color Run at Mills Park.
