Thursday, June 15: Things to do in Carson City

Can you feel the excitement in the air? With the Fathers’ Day Pow Wow at the Stewart Indian School and the Carson City Off-Road Mountain Bike Race happening this weekend, the whole town will be hopping. In addition, we have returned to our previously scheduled summer temperatures. You’ll find karaoke downtown at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar and at the Westside Pour House, so start warming up those vocal chords. It’s a perfect date night at Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint, Living the Good Life, Café at Adele’s or Glen Eagles: you’ll find live music to accompany dinner at all four places.
