Thursday, September 17: Things to do in Carson City

Happy Thursday, Carson City. I hope you’re ready for some fun. If you find yourself in Gardnerville, don’t miss out on their Thirsty Third Thursday Wine Walk, and wear your hula skirt – it’s Hawaiian themed. Here in town, you’ll find karaoke at Jimmy G’s Cigar Bar and Caterpillar’s Hookah Lounge. Practice your improv skills at the Brewery Arts Center. You’ll enjoy country DJ Lisa at Living the Good Life. Erin go bragh at the Firkin and Fox with their ‘Halfway to St. Patrick’s’ Party. If you enjoy a nice cigar, you won’t want to miss out on the ‘Best in Show’ party at the Carson Cigar Company.
