Thursday happenings in Carson City and beyond

Looks like another great day to stay indoors. The Carson City Library has several activities planned today, and one of them might be what you’re looking for. Story time this morning is for the little ones. Just about everyone is welcome to participate in their weekly Lego Club build. Families will enjoy movie night; just make sure to register online if you’re planning on seeing Peter Rabbit with them this evening. The Jazz and Beyond Music Festival is in full swing, so you’ll find plenty of music around. Greg Austin takes the stage at Living the Good Life and you’ll find Niall McGuinness and New World Jazz Project on the veranda at Adele’s. However, the special presentation on drums around the world at the Brewery Arts Center is sure to steal the show.
