Wednesday, July 19: Things to do in Carson City
The weekend is inching closer, and bringing with it one of Carson City’s favorite events – The Taste of Downtown. The annual fundraiser for the Advocates to End Domestic Violence brings everyone downtown for samplings from our local restaurants, live music, and a good time had by all. Stay busy and the week will just fly by. Enjoy dinner at Living the Good Life and you’ll be treated to a Jazz Jam. Thinking caps are helpful if you head to DJ Trivia at the Westside Pour House. J and M Productions brings their huge selection of songs to Karaoke night at Caterpillar’s Hookah Lounge.
