Sunday, May 10: Things to do in Carson City on Mother's Day
Did you put your Mother’s Day shopping off to the last moment? Head over to the Carson Mall for their arts and craft show. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with a nice dinner or brunch for her special day. Take a ride on the McKeen Motor Car at the Nevada State Railroad Museum or the Ferris Wheel at RSVP’s Spring Fair and Carnival. And you can take Mom to a matinee of Western Nevada Musical Theatre's "Music Man" at the Bob Boldrick Theater in the Community Center.
