Wednesday, Oct. 5: Things to do in Carson City

The leaves are changing, and the sweaters are coming out for the season. Chilly days are perfect for curling up with a good book: meet a local author at the Douglas Library this evening, you never know if you'll find a new favorite. Scott Tazbir has moved into the Backseat Gallery at Comma Coffee. A reception highlighting his drawings will be tonight at 5 p.m. Celebrate National 4-H Week with an open house at the UNR Cooperative Extention Office. Drop in any time today to enjoy activities, drone demos from their recent Science Day, and to learn about all the different things that today's 4-H has to offer. Grab some friends and hit the town tonight. Test your knowledge at Westside Pour House's Geeks Who Drink Trivia night, or perhaps belting out a song or two at SlotWorld's new karaoke night sounds like fun.
