Wednesday, Sept. 6: Things to do in Carson City

Six years ago, shots rang out and Carson City was thrust into the middle of a tragedy. Four people died in the IHOP shooting, three of them National Guard members. Today, they will be honored again during the annual Remembrance Run. If you are driving along Fairview, please give them some extra room. Wheeled Truck Wednesday at the Brewery Arts Center is a ‘weather permitting’ event, so keep your eye out for rain clouds. Argent Preparatory Academy, formerly Silver State Charter School, hosts an open house tonight; everyone interested in Carson City’s newest educational opportunity is encouraged to attend.
