Tuesday, July 14: Things to do in Carson City

The Second Tuesday of the month always means jazz. The Mile High Jazz Band performs tonight at Comma Coffee with vocalist Cindee LeVal. Enjoy Christmas in July with the Friends of the Carson Library’s Food Drive. A non-perishable food donation gets you a Christmas book and a coupon for a dollar off at Browser’s Corner Book Store. Make sure to get your pizza fix at Pizza Factory on Highway 50. It’s Pop Warner Day, so any purchase will send a few dollars to the boys and girls involved in the program.
