Tuesday, Oct. 3: Things to do in Carson City

Every week I bring you all the happenings in Carson City, my hometown of over 35 years, but I was born in Las Vegas. I’m heartsick over what transpired Sunday night, but equally comforted by the outpouring of support this community has shown. Nevada Day is just weeks away, and I am truly grateful to be Battle Born. Get geared up for our Admission Day with the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt – clues start today, so get out your history books and your hiking boots. Thinking caps are recommended at DJ Trivia at the Fox Brewpub or the Geeks Who Drink Pub Quiz at Sassafras. Nothing says Halloween is coming like Vincent Price on the big screen. Join the Carson City Classic Cinema Club at the Brewery Arts Center for a viewing of ‘House on Haunted Hill.’
