Wednesday, June 10: Things to do in Carson City
Wednesdays are good for music in Carson City. Nothing like a good jam to get you over the workweek hump. Start out at lunchtime with blues at Comma Coffee. Enjoy music with dinner at Living the Good Life or Glen Eagles. The party is at Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint, though. Tonight they are hosting a Canadian country-tinged, psycho punk rock n’ roll band called The Creepshow. Named as “One of the top bands you need to know about” by Alternative Press, a band like this doesn’t wander into our valley often.

At least this downpour is appreciated by the burgeoning foliage around town, which means that the Historical Society’s Garden Tour on Saturday should be featuring some beautiful blooms. It’s National Herbs and Spices Day, so head out to Minden/Gardnerville for either one of their Farmers Markets. Carson City’s Farmers Market returns to Third and Curry Saturday morning.

Here’s a random spot of trivia for you. The first woman to represent the state of Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives, Barbara Vucanovich, was born on June 22, 1921; the following year on June 10, Judy Garland was born. Judy passed away in 1969, on June 22. In 2013, we lost the Congresswoman on June 10. That won’t help you at Geeks Who Drink Trivia at Lake Tahoe Brewing Co. tonight, though: it’s a Games of Thrones themed game this week.
