What to do Wednesday in Carson City? Plenty including Concert Under the Stars with Jefferson Starship, Midnight North

What a day. The Concert Under the Stars brings Jefferson Starship to the outdoor stage at the Brewery Arts Show. Get there early to peruse the silent auction items and food vendors; the annual fundraising benefit for the Greenhouse Project is always the talk of the town. The Greatest Showman on Earth makes an appearance at the Dangberg Home Historic Ranch: it’s Chautauqua night, and Doug Mishler will be portraying “Circus Showman P. T. Barnum.” The Stewart Indian School in east Carson City has history reaching into the early days of our state. The public is welcome to attend this morning’s event, as Tribal spiritual leaders conduct a blessing ceremony at the site of the future Cultural Center and Museum; tours of the grounds will be also available.
